THE CHURCH AS

A Broader Sphere for ReIIgIon-New

The social duty of the rural church
Is as much a part of its obligations
as Its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to 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 u place in the succession
OF those who have sought to make the
world a 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 essentials 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 c%herishing ideals OF
service, the rural church which t.
tains the fullest measure of success
Is that which enriches IS 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 a social center. The
church need Cffer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, If IN 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 center. but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
q church cannot command the inter
est of all the people. 1t is relieved
from the embarrassment Of religiously
divided communities.

THEIR WISE OLD UNCLE
by JENNIE kENNER.

When Appleby broke the news to
his young wife that his Uncle Jack
was coming to make them a visit she
expressed pleasure at the prospect az
cheerfully as she could, but she looked
alarmed.
Hes a jolly old boy" sal, Apple
by. Il know you'll like him. Ara
bella"
But I'm afraid he won't like me,
John"
Nonsense, why not, I'd like to
know? OF curse he'll fall in love
with you at the first glance JUST as
l did"
"Fqatterer!" laughed Mrs. Apple
by. But seriously l know he'll be
scandalized at the way we live"
why, my dear girl. what's the mat
ter with the way we live? Haven't
we a coy little fiat, and don't we get
excellent meals In the very first apart
ment belowT
Eyes, but you know you have told
me yourself that your Uncle Jack has
very rigid, old-fashioned opinions on
the duties Of wives, and he'll think
me lazy and incompetent because I
don't cook our own meals myself. /
just know he will"
Eyes, Arabella, but you're 30 quick
and bright. you could learn to cook
In no time. All you need Is a little
practice"
"But I don't want to practice on
your uncle, Jack! That would be a
~fearfully dangerous experiment"
well, then, why not have our meals
sent up?" Appleby asked.
Eyes, we could do it easily. Mrs.
Briggs could send our meals up the
back stairs. and l could put them on
the table and we'd serve them just as
if they had been cooked in our w lit
tie kitchen. l think it's a splendid
plan"
Appleby seized upon the idea eager
ly, for he realized that his uncle was
not likely to look with favor upon
their present mode of life. Inside Of
half an hour they had persuaded Mrs.

Briggs, at whose table they took their
meals, to do her share.
When Uncle Jack arrived he showed
every sign of being highly pleased
with his nephew's wife and their
home. He continually congratulated
the young pair on their good sense In
starting out 80 early to make a real
home instead of this internal board
Ing" as he called 1t, and at every
meal nearly he praised Mrs. Appleby
for her good housekeeping. And
things did run with astonishing
smoothness. j
Now don't blush, little girl" he
said when the young woman was n
day quite overcome by his warm ap-
probation of the cooking. John is a
mighty lucky chap to have such a
capable nelpmeet as you"
Another time she was almost re-
duced to tears when, handing her his
notebook, he asked her to jot down
the rule for the delicious pudding
they had had that night, SO that he
could have his housekeeper make It
ooh, Uncle Jack. I'll have to look In
the book and see," she said. I'll copy
1t for you tomorrow"
Every well, my dear. You see, I'm
anxious to carry home some Of your
culinary secrets"
At this Appleby laughed 80 uproar-
iously that his wife vas obliged to
retreat from the room in disorder.
and when John hastily Joined her she
exclaimed between laughter and tears:
I'm not going to carry or this de-
ception any longer. I'm ashamed Of
myself"
Don't be ashamed" said Uncle
Jack. He had followed them unob-
served to the kitchen. They turned
He laughed at their confusion.
you needn't be ashamed Of the de-
ception, for there wasn't any," he
went on. Il came out here the very
first day Of my visit to black my
and Mrs. Briggs maid was Just
bringing up the soup for dinner and
she told me all"
And you've been having a bit OF
fun with u.s." young Appleby said
grumpily.
Well, l thought 1t was a good Joke,
and a clever one, too. Now, Arabella.
I'll tell you what l wish to give you
as a parting present, my dear-a
course at the domestic science school,"
ooh, Uncle Jack" she laughed.

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE ALL
Mexican Fable Has a Moral That 10

Here Is a story with q moral which

little burro and a single bit Of good
advice. This is never attempt to
have people satisfied with your con-

"Why?"
Come and see."
The boy began to walk; then came
the burro, and behind the old man.
How stupid" the men said. why
do they not ride on the burro? No
doubt the burro will ride on them to-
morrow"
Both the old man and Juan heard
this. Then the old nan said:
Now look here, my son; jump on
the burro and l will drive him"
They reached another town. Peo-
pie who saw them exclaimed: THE old
man must be crazy and the boy is a
sin ~verguenza.'

questioned.
Eyes, father"
well, now l will ride the burro and
you will drive him."
Another town was reached. Three
men were passing by and one of them
said: Never in my life did l see
such a man; he is riding IN the burro
and let's the poor little boy march on
foot. That Is atrocious." j..

eyes, father"
"All right, jump on the burro and
we will both ride home"
They followed another trail, and on
their road they met a number of peo-
pie who came in the opposite direc-
ton, each n on a burro. Upon ee-
Ing the old man and his son riding the
burro they exclaimed: These must
be savages. When shall we have a

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 Its
membership among the young. The
children and young people OF the
church should meet when religion is
not ever 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 put Of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
Is O social nature to both old and
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 n
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
AXE 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
dance. the card party and the theatre
unless 1t can offer In its place a sat
substitute in the form Of more
pleasing recreation.

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 plea surable; 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
tiles and In the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. AS individuals
zone together in social gatherings.
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society,
Z 1t is plain, therefore, hat 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.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among it's 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.
