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 chnl-
lenge and seek TO reform that social
order in which moral life Ia ex-
pressed While cherishing ideals OF
service. the rural church which t.
tains the fullest measure OF success
is that which enriches as many lives
as IL can touch. and in no way Dan
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 offer no apology for its
ambition to fiji this need in the com
nnunity II an understanding OF its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure OF a
rural community is exceedingly com.
pick; IL contains many social groups,
each of which has It's own center, but
there are many localities which have
hut one church and although such
A church cannot command the inter.
est OF all the people. II Is relieved
from the embarrassment OF religiously
divided communities.

Universal Instinct Tor Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one OF the greatest meth

stinctive aversion OF one person for
another Is overcome and the social
mood rs fostered Play is the chief

tiles and in the play-day OF human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved AS individuals
come together IN social gatherings
their yiowpobat Us hroadened. their
ideals arc lifted and finally they cor
stitute n cultured and refined society
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at a perfected so
ciety must use in n refined and ex.
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
OF the universal instinct for play.
IL the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to tho
young among it's membership, IL will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
tho richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type OF manhood
and womanhood.

The Pay-as-you-go Policy

Twenty years ago most cities
and towns, on making any large
public improvement, used to pay
for it in bonds running twenty
and thirty years. A good many
people have only recently had to
.remvest seven per cent bonds is
sued as far back as 1880 or 1885
by many Of the larger cities. Dur
ing much of this period these cit
les have been able to borrow mon
ey for four per cent and even less.
The burden placed on the taxpay-
ers by local governments that is
sued these bonds was enormous.
There is today a growing reali-
cation of the heavy burden placed
on taxpayers by this policy of
making pOsterity pay. Interest
rates are higher now than they
were a few years ago. Cities that
issue serial bonds for fifteen and
twenty years will pay two dollars
for one.
Many of the old-timers used to
argue that it was a good thing for
a municipality to have a public
debt. 1t tended toward economy
