A NARROW ESCAPE.

There came near being a fatal acct
dent on Stewart Ave, west side, last
Sunday afternoon. The children have
appropriated the hill, from the Train
ing school down to Third avenue for
coasting purposes. Last Sunday after
noon an automobile owned by Peter
Strachota, was going west on the
avenue when bob-sled, flied with
children, came down one of the side
streets. Mr.. Strachota, in order not
to run over the sled and its load,
made turn so short that it upset
his machine. The sled ran into the
auto slightly injuring one of the
boys. Mrs. Strachota, who was in the
automobile was quite badly bruised
but there were no serious injuries.
The crowd which gathered, quickly
helped to put the automobile in an
upright position. Unless our author
tiles put a. stop to the using of our
streets for coasting there is going 70
be all kinds of trouble and the city
called upon to pay some heavy dam
ages. There is lots of fun in coasting
but there are plenty of hills that can
be utilized without taking up our
streets, which is a very dangerous
thing to do.

is distinctive. Compulsory service is
personal for all ablebo6ied men and Pc
cuniary for all who are incapable of
personal service These latter must pay

into a national army and the land

tense. Service in the national army
begins at twenty -one and ends after
forty i've. In the landsturm it begins
at seventeen. ends at twenty-one: be-
gins again at forty-six and ends at
fifty.
The national army consists OF three
bans. the first ban including all able
bodied men between twenty one and
thjrfy-one. the second ban all between
thirty-one and thirty eight and the
third those between thirty eight and
forty five.
The FIRST ban has its cadre. a school
through which every ablebodied man
of twenty-one must pass. No one is al

member thereof receive any outside
appointment or become even a monk

The CHURCH As
ASOC|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for Religion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
is as much a part of it's obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing true religious in
stinct aud the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta-
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
rural church. The true christian re-
igion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals of
service, the rural church which IT
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the com
munity, If an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
rural community is exceedingly com.
pick; it contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
church cannot command the inter.
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one Of the greatest meth.
DDS by which human society has de.
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in.
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun.
tiles and in the play-day OF human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. AS individuals
come together in social gatherings
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con.
stitute cultured and refined society
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected so.
ciety must use in a refined and ex.
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
of the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, it will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will rear
the richest reward by promoting q
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood

NO HIGHER AT PRESENT.

Notwithstanding the cost of flour

vance in wheat and other bread max

loayes of bread remain the same as

there is a further rise in the price of

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as rule, a
vague conception of the meaning OF
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity of providing entertain.
ment, as well as instruction, to its
membership among the young. The
children and young people OF the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. 1t has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with nc
social privileges is sheer folly. There
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or Indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs, parties, pic
MICS or other forms of amusement
One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the
unless it can offer in its place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
