CHURCH As
ASOC|ALC CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIieion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford

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 it's
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate t O claim that
1t is expressing a true religious in
stinct and 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 a fit habitation for the children
of nan when we seek to study and
understand the social duty Of the
rural church The true christian re-
ligion 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 t.
hS LaliSSl IiSdSule II SuCSSSS
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with it's members as through the
avenue Of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need cffer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, If an understanding of it's
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 n church and although such
! church cannot command the inter
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of reIigiously
divided communities

Universal Instinct for Play.

IN providing for en- Vment the
church uses one of the greatest meth

veloped. Association is never secure

Stinctive aversion of one person ror
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency III rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved AS individuals
come together III social gatherings,
their viewpoint is ~Droadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at a 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.

Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a 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 it's
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.

is a social nature TO both old and

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

LAY or another the social instincts

HATCHER|ES ARE
To Be F|REPROOF

Contracts for new buildings and
improvements at several of the State
fish hatcheries will be let this month
and be pushed to completion before
winter. The appropriations made by
the last legislature make possible en-
largement of two hatcheries and the
prospects, say the officials Of the
department, are for large numbers of
fish to be planted" this Fall and
winter.
The contract for the new hatchery
at Pleasant Mount will be let on Mon
day, the building to be of fireproof
construction and containing arrange
ments for propagation different from
those in other fish hatcheries of the
State. Contracts will also be let on
the same day for enlarging the bass
ponds at the Wayne county hatchery
which will enable it to fill all requisi-
tions for this species of fish

will meet at Bellefonte on July 10
when bids will be opened for the

is to erect permanent buildings
wherever possible and the old frame
structures are being done away with.
