Evans likes to tell about his experience in the closet with a jug of rum and one of wine. He was about 10 years old and lived with his arand parents. He learned where the sugar was kept and his visits to that upstairs room were not infrequent. One day his grand mother caught him with a big lump, and began to lav the switch on good and hard. The boy ran up the wall and crawled from joist to joist as she switched his legs from below. They were on the second story of the house and Henry was bumping his head against -the pegs in the roof. He decided to go down, but forgot about it holn ?iw. VT VI IIIV^ closet, and down he went into a dark, hot closet. The old man was gone to town with the closet key, and the hoy had to stay in his sweat box until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In the meantime he had become desperately thirsty and when he found a jug of rum and a still larger one of wine, he imbibed far too freely, and when he was found he was lying unconscious by the larger jug. A doctor was summoned and after he was relieved of something less tljan a gallon of rum. wine and sugar he regained consciousness, and he has been conscious the greater part the time since. J ? - , .

THE GHH AS ASOCIALCENTER A Broader Spher* 4or Religion?New Field for the Rural Church. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union The social duty of the rural church Is as much a part of its obligations as its spiritual side. In expressing its Bocial Interest, the modern rural -church does not hesitate to claim that it is expressing a true religious instinct and the old-time idea that the social instincts should bo starved while the spiritual nature was overfed with solid theological food, is *ast^ W^PBI^^^P^K^^the 'succession j of those who have sought to make the | world a fit habitation for the children of man -when we seek to study and j understand the social duty of the I rural church. The true christian religion Is essentially social?its tenets of faith being love and brotherhood and fellowship. While following after righteousness, the church must challenge and seek to reform that social order in which moral life is expressed. While cherishing ideals of service, the rural church which attains 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 its members as through the avenue of social functions. The country town and the rurul community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for its ambition to fill this need in the community, if an understanding of its mission brings thiB purpose i"to clear consciousness. The structure of a rural community is exceedingly com plex; it contains mnnv annial crr?-viiT,u each of which has its own center, but there are many localities which huve but one church and although such a church cannot command the interest of all the i>eople, it is relieved from the embarrassment of religiously J divided communities * Sccia! Needs imperative. The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real enjoyment, and havj, as a rule, a vague conception of the meaning of pleasure nnd recreation. It is to 1111 this void in the lives of Country youth that tlie rural church has risen to the necessity of providing entertainment, as well as instruction, to its membership among the young The children and young i , 'e of the Church should mom ? I ... " 1 >. Ift not even mentioned. It hrvt been found safest lor them to meet frequently under the direction and earn of the church. To send thorn into the world with no social training expoj.es them to grave perils and to try to keep them out of tho world with no social privileges is sheer foyy. There Is a social nuture to hoth old and young, but the social requirements of the young are Imperative. The church must provide directly or indirectly some modern equivalent for the husking bee, tho quilting bee uud the singing schools of the old days. In ono way or another the social instincts of our young poop)* must have opportunity for expression, which may take the form of clubs, parties, picnics or other forms of amusement. One tiling is certain, and that is that the church cannot take away tlio dance, tlio card party and tho theatre unless It can offer In Its place a satisfying substitute in the form of more pleasing recreation.
