In expressing its social Interest, the modern rural church does not hesitate to claim that it is expressing a true religloua instinct and the old-time idea that the social .instincts should be starred * while the spiritual nature was orer- j fed with solid theological food, Is fast glring way to a broader Interpret*- * tlon of the functions of true religion. 1 We take our place in the succession ' of those who have sought to make the world a fit habitation for the children ef man when we seek to study and understand the social duty of the 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 ex- | pressed. WThile cherishing ideals of service, the rural church which ittains the fullest measure of success is that which enriches as many lives 1 as it can touch, and in ro way can i the church come in as close contact 1 with its members as through the 1 avenue of social functions. 1 The country town and the rural < community need a social center. The 1 church need offer no apology for its i another is overcome and the social mood is fostered. Play Is the chief educational agency in rural communities 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 constitute a cultured and refined society. It is plain, therefore, that the ' church which aims at a perfected so"? ciety must use in a refined and exalted way the essential factors in social evolution and must avail itself of the universal instinct for play. If the church surround^ itself with social functions which ^ajjpeal to the ! young among its membestfiip. it will i fill a large part of thardc men table f gap in rural pleasures arid will reap the richest reward by promoting a ? higher and better type of manhood ^ and v. )r cnhccd Ambition to nil tms neea m me com- ? munity, if an understanding of its mission brings this purpose into clear consciousness. The structure of a rural community is exceedingly com plex; it contains many social groups, each of which ha3 its own center, but there are many localities which have but one church and although such a church cannot command the interest of all the people, it is relieved from the embarrassment of religiously divided communities Social Needs Imperative. The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a vague conception of the meaning of pleasure and recreation. It is to fill this void in the lives of country youth that the rural church has risen to the necessity of providing entertainment, as well as instruction, to its membership among the young. The children and young people of the church should meet when religion is not even mentioned. It has been found safest for them to meet frequently under the direction and care of the church. To send them into the world with no social training exposes them to grave perils sad to try to keep them out of the world with no social privileges Is sheer folly. There I is a social nature to both old and I ../? ?? *lifl onnfgl ranuiramanta nf )UU115t UUC owmi i VVJU11 Vtuvuvw w the young are imperative. The church must provide directly or indirectly j some modern equivalent for the husk- ^ ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing- ^ ing schools of the old days. In one way or another the social Instincts of our young people must have oppor- i tunity for expression, which may take the form of clubs, parties, pic- 1 i nics or other forms of amusement. ( j One thing is certain, and that is that , j the church cannot take away the . j dance, the card party and the theatre ! unless it can offer in its place a sat- ] isfying substitute in the f^rra of more ' pleasing recreation. 1 Universal Instinct for Play.

'roducts of Plow and Farmer Win Livea at Home Should Be Exempt From Increae*. By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The recent action of the Interstate Commerce Commission in granting a* ncrease In freight rates in the eastern ilassiflcation of territory; the appliedton of the roads to state and inted itate commissions for an increase i? ates. and the utterances of President Vllson on the subject bring the farne irs of this nation face to face with the problem of an increase in freight ates. It is the policy of the Farmers^ Jnion to meet the issues affecting the relfare of the farmers squarely and re will do so in this instance. The transportation facilities of the Jnlted States are inadequate to eiectively meet the demands of comnerce and particularly in the South ind West additional railway mileage s needed to accommodate the movenent of farm products. If in the wie lom of our Railroad Commissions an ncrease in freight rates is necessary o bring about an improvement in our ransportation service, and an exten* lion of our mileage, then an increase'- / ihould be granted, and the farmer it rilling to share such proportion of < he increase as justly belongs to him, * >ut we have some suggestions to make j is to the manner in which this in* :rease shall be levied. \ . Rates Follow Lines of Least Resistance. J The freight rates of the nation have * >een built up along lines of least relistance. The merchant, the mann- v. 'acturer, the miner, the miller, the umberman and the cattleman have lad their traffic bureaus thoroughly )rganized and in many instances they lave pursued the railroad without nercy and with the power of r ganzed tonnage they have hamir.e'- ! the ife out of the rates and w i tU unreitrained greed they have eaten the sonsumpticn on meir journey num the factory to the farm. We wouJd, 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 farmer wto will not try to raise his own meat ought to be penalized. V/e think the rate on coal and brick can much better bear an increase than the rate i?. cotton and flcur We would prefer that the rate ca plows remain the same, and machinery, pianos and snch articles as the poorer farmer cannot hope to possess bear the burden of increase. The increase in rates should be so arranged that the farmer who Il?e? at home will bear no part of the burden, but let the farmer who boards in other states and countries and who feeds his stock in foreign lands, pay the price of his foUy.

Every polecat should pay a poll tax. V ;'i ' ritals out of our transportation system ind since we have had railroad commissions, these interests, with skill ?nd cunning, are represented at every rearing in which their business is nvolved. The farmer is seldom represented it rate hearings, as his organizations rave never had the finances to employ counsel to develop his side of the case and, as a result, the products pf the plow bear an unequal burden pf the freight expense. A glance at the freight tariffs abundantly proves this assertion. Cotton, the leading t agricultural product c the South, already bears the highest freight rate of any necessary commodity in commerce, and the rate on agricultural products as a whole is out of proportion 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 as is necessary without levying a further toll upon the products of the plow. The instance seems iu yrv tent an opportunity to the Railroad Commissions to equalize the rates as between agricultural and other classes r>f freight without disturbing the rates on staple farm products. What Is a Fair Rate? We do not know what constitutes a basis for rate making and have never beard of anyone who did claim to know much about it, but if the prosperity of the farm is a factor to be considered and the railroad commission concludes that an increase in rates is necessary, we would prefer that it come to us through articles of
