f
A Broader Sphere for Religion?New
Field for the Rural Church.
j
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
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

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.

'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.

Applicant?WII, mc ntuc a u
won't hurt anybody.
WHY NOT?
Silas?Are you in favor of taxing
cats?
Hez?Sure. 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
