THE CHURCH AS
ASOC|AL CENTER
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 It's
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing 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 interpreter
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 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, IH0 rural CuuFCu WHICH, ~
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 it's members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, if an understanding Of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of
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

involved.

The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result. the products
of the pillow bear. an unequal burden
Of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product c the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate Of
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro-
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule Of rates, but
hope. the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates las is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule,
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives Of country youth

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 no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or Indirectly

take the form of clubs, parties, pic.

One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the

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 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 its membership, it will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting
higher and better type of manhood

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard Of anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but if the pros
perity Of the farm is factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their Journey from
the factory to the farm. We would
for example, prefer that the rate on
nOgs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and flour. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.

Ev Peter Radford.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The recent action Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the appllca-
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase IN
rates, and the utterances OF President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands Of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an Improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad WITHOUT
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out Of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.

Wilson and Fight on Liquor.

That President Woodrow Wilson is
in sympathy with the fight now being
waged against the liquor interests in
different states all over the nation is
clearly and indisputably shown by his
recent correspondence on the subject
with prominent democrats. Efforts to
put the President In any other atti-
tude by self-seeking politicians in this
Kentucky campaign do him great
injustice. President Wilson has al
ways taken the moral side upon every
great issue that has come before him.
His letters show this. Wherever the
fight against the saloon, the brewery
or the distillery has been waged, he
has been found arrayed against them
land their pernicious influences, from
the moment when the temperance
question first became an issue in New
Jersey and the county unit PROPOSE
ton was the first step in the fight up
to the occasion when Texas voted up
on statewide prohibition. An eXprs-
sion was sought from Woodrow Will
son in both great contests and as
usual, he was found on the right side.
Efforts on the part of men who are
waging political battle for liquor in
terests in the present campaign in
Kentucky to induce President Wilson
to repudiate the position he took
when statewide prohibition was the
issue in Texas. met the straight-for-
ward and merited response from the
President that "it would be arrogant
on my part TO state that there were in
my opinion no circumstances which
justified an agitation for statewide
prohibition" and in this letter stated
