THE CHURCH As
AS0C|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for Reli0ion-New
Field for the Rural Charch.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Unior

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty Of the rural church
is as much part of its obligations
as its spiritual side In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim tat
it Is expressing a true religious III
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 lnterpreta-
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
understand the social duty of the
rural church The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tensts
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 e1-
pressed. While cherishing ideals OF
service, the rural church which Il
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as 1t 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 social center. The
church need Cffer 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 its 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

Apparently the country as a
whole is not yet ready for WON
an suffrage or for national pro-
hibition.
1t took many years to secure
the abolition of slavery, and it
will take years to abolish drink.
The liquor interests always
fight women's suffrage, as the
female voters are always opposed
to the saloon and liquor interests

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 a 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 reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood.

Why Hot Water Dtsssotses Most Sub

Why Hot Water Dkessot<es Most Sub
stances QuicieeS THAI Cold
Most housewives know that sugar
will dissolve far more quickly In hot
water than in cold, but very few know
that salt will dissolve In cold water
Just as quickly as when the water is
boiling In this salt Is somewhat Of
an exception, for most substances dis
solve much more easily when water Is
hot.
The reason for this WIS mystery in
the middle ages, and It is only since
the modern knowledge Of molecules
that it could be explained.
Heat Is nothing more nor less than
an increase in the speed with which
the molecules are revolving. This is
easily seen in molasses. When very
cold It will hardly flow at all, when
warmed it will pour slowly, but when
boiling hot it will pour in a thin strip
almost as liquid as milk. In the same
way boiling water is more liquid than
cold water.
as dissuiying a piece Of sugar means
that the sugar enters into tie tiny
spaces between the molecules Of the
water, the more quickly they are NOV
ing the easier 1T is for the sugar to get
it. For, it must he remembered, you
can I'LL glass to certain level, and
after that put IN two, three or even
four Jumps OF sugar and the glass will
be no fuller than before
The reason for this is shown by
merely thinking of the process on a
large scale. Suppose bowl were filled
full of marbles. You could pour lot
of bird shot into it without making the
marbles rise any higher in the bowl.
The shot would be filling In all the lit
tie cracks between the marbles, and if
you stirred the marbles slowly the
shot would little by little find its place.
That is like the sugar In cold water.
But If the marbles were being whirl-
ed around rapidly the shot would rap
idly fill every place and the bowl
would be full of shot Yet the marbles
would not be any higher in the bowl.
Then, after all that you could pour
water into the bowl and it would get
into the small spaces between the
round shot, and still the marbles would
not be any higher in the bowl
It Is in this way that substances
which have been dissolved find their
way into the liquids into which they
have been dissolved.-New York Amer:

Naminu a City.

From the Cleveland Plain Deakr
we learn that the modern spelling of
the name of the city Is due to the error
Of a type manufacturer who sent to
the Cleveland Herald. In 1881, new
set of type which was too ''fat' as
printers say. In other words, too wide
to allow the heading of the paper to
be spelled in the old and correct way.
As the correction of the mistake Was
a matter of about ten weeks, 80 show
were the transportation facilities Of
those days, the printer suggested that
the first "a" be left out of the name.
It was done, and thus the town re-
ceived q new name.

Life Amid DeathI;ke Stiffness.

In the ralnless interior Of Australia
there is "silence Of the grave" This
deathlike silence has a peculiarly de-
pressing effect. II two men are camp
ed and one Of them goes to a distant
township to get provisions while the
other remains behind to look after the
camp. the man who is to remain says
to his friend in forcib}e. gold fields
language: "Now. Bill. don't be long
away. You know what kind Of place
this is to live in by yourself" Or words
to that effect If his mate is away for
two or three days the silence gets on
the mans nerves and in the end he
shouts to make noise. And often he
is afraid of the sound Of his own
vofce.-Exchange
