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 ... "

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.

"You say," said the 'attorney
for the defense, "that, although
the night was very dark, you
saw Rastus Johnson leaving
your hen coop at midnight from
your bed room window?"
"Yes, sir," replied the plaintiff.
"How could you distinguish
him in the blackness of the
night?" demanded the attorney.
"Why?er," said the plaintiff,
"the darkness got so much
blacker all of a sudden that
Rastus' presence there was
obvious. No other human
being could cast such a shadow
jon anything so dark as that
night already was."?ludge.
