Of Broader Community
Service for Soil Tilers

church on the subject, what Shoul'
the Church Do to Better Serve Thii
Community" was given by Senator
J. w. Twlsr Sunday evening. H,
spoke for the farmer and declared thu
church should be . community center
and open every day In the week. ~
well - on Sunday. His address in
part was ~ follows:
! am giving you my personel views
on this subject. To begin with feel
N though Christians are using too
much valuable time and energy on div
ide1 opinions, such AZ morals creedr,
and dogmas, and so long rs we are all
expecting to resch that Celestial
Home Above, Heaven, why should we
spend the greater part ct our time
discussing the route 10 reach that des-
tination? In my opinion they should
he set aside, or rather eliminated,
NJ the OK team and the scythe, for
do we not all Worship the same God
and accept the teachings of Jesus
Christ? Do you mean to tell me that
that is not broad enough to carry us
through?
The united effort of our people
made the Red Cross a success and
again it was proven in the raising Of
funds for the y. Nj. c. A.. and kindred
associations. | feel that to success
fully combat evil, you must be, in
plain English, '.on the. job all the
time" How can you expect to accom- |
plish that which you desire by working |
one day in seven, while Satan puts in
full time. You must meet HIM at his |
own game and by using unconscious
methods show the rising generations
that christianity, like everything else
in this world, is moral and progress
sive science and progresses with lib
eral arts and sciences in its metlio Is
of subsconscious teachings.
The farmer Is asking for a united
effort. He is asking for the church
10 be a community center, where all
men from the i,fferent walks of life
may mingle and discuss questions Of
vital interest TO the communal, az
whole. The farmer sends his child
rem to your city for their higher edu-
cation. Many Of them, even Of the
lower grades, may be seen roaming
the streets during the noon hour, while
those Of the city are at home being
properly cared for. Is 1t not possible
for the christian people to furnish
recreation for those desiring it and
thereby lead the child under christian :
influence to higher nnI mere useful

In the susceptible age. A place where
children could practice, under super
vision, would greatly assist the child
and perhaps develop talent which {
would otherwise be lost. A play =
ground with proper equipment and .
supervision is needed in every COM
munity, an ideal place for the weary
mother to leave her child while she is
shopping or attending lectures.
A kitchen where the girls who conie =
from the country may prepare warm =

We are not asking for that which 10
