Enjoy the fine independent fooling oi the man who owns the roof over his head and the green Up swurd or garden whore his home is located. It's a UW CI deling of luxury which you can experience without extravagance. There are no houses for rent in Marshfield at present. What will the condition be this summer? Surely rents will commence to rise then. And all the carpenters in town will be engaged building houses. It will be harder to buy a suitable homesite then, and more difficult to got. carpenters to build a house. Why not build now on a lot in First Addition to Marshfield where there are fine lots to be had at low prices and on very easy terms? $25 cash will skirt you on your way to owing a home, for that is all we re quire as first payment on one of these 50-foot lots. If we did not think we had a proposition that was worth your consideration, we wouldn't write this ad. Call and let us talk it over. Reynolds Development Co.

I was nstonlshed to read between the pclturcs In a moving picture show last Saturday night on the canvas theso words: "Do you dnnco Do you piny enrds? Or do you wear n long face? Anyway come to henr: "Tho nellglousncBs or Merriment" by Albert F. DnBsford nt tho First Ilaptlst church, Sunday evening nt 7:30. Good music." Well, I never! What would grand mn think If she could have seen that Blgn? She would hnvo "danced for fright" I Imagine. I nonrly did. I got out of Mint bIiow house as soon ns possible. Dut beforo going to my room for the night I chanced to drop In nt at another ono anil to my sur prlBo Micro was that church Blgn again popping right out on the can vas. I read: "The Religiousness of Merriment." "Como to church. Do you dnnco or do you woar a long face." "At the DapMst church." This was all 1 had tlmo to read, but I recognized It again easily. I thought: "Whnt kind of town Is this? Aro tho theaters helping out the churches or aro tho churches holplng out the theaters?" As I thought on Mils, It seemed to mo too big a question to decide, but It mado mo wnnt to go and henr this ser mon. I llko to so the baker adver tise "Homo-mndo Dread," especially It tho bread is made at homo and It Is good. Sonio bread and some sor mons are not worth advertising, Dut my visit Mils time proved that the "goods wero up to tho advertise ment." I resolved then und thoro that a man must be n good prcachor to manifest such cntorprlBo as this in telling mo about it all, when I did not oven care to know. Nothing happened of special Inter est ns I know. I noticed when I went In that the audience was "seated well In tho stern." No wonder somo of tho churches mnko slow tlmo and drag the bottom. Dut tho pastor, Itov. Albert P. Dassford In n very pleasant manner cordially Invited tho pcoplo to "trim tho craft" and when thoy shifted tho cargo It went "full speed ahead" bettor. Somo church members aro In tho "crow" working squealing for tholr swill. their shift regular, some are only "The church asks us to glvo up "cargo," and somo hnrdly make good, somothlng, but to glvo up only that "ballast." I wondered which I was which our own solf-respoct demands ns I snt among thorn. I of us. There nro cortaln kinds of Pastor Dassford speaks quietly and I fun and happiness which one's solf nt times forcefully. I thought of one respect tolls him to partlrlpnto In. of my old tenchers In school ns I Us- Pun Mint does not loavo a wholcflomo toned to him. Ho said ho wsb noli effect, fun that does not recreate. lack of manifestations of Joy nnd hap piness. Clmivt, Today Is More Human. Life Is not n sob, not a glgclo. Today tho church is far moro human ii Its treatment of these questions Mum ever before. If I were to dls cubs tho other plmscs of this topic, such ns dnncliiB, enrd playing and theater going, l should not In any way tell you what you should do, for I bellovo you should decldo this for yourself. I havo for myself. I ac cord to you tho snmo privileges I take. Play Is XeccHsniy. i "A German philosopher hns discov ered Mint play lH natural, wholeaomd and necessary. In tho light of this, how many parents renllzo when their children nro at play that it is ncces sary. Did you over henr any ono say to their children, 'Keep quiet; ba still.' They do not know that thoy are robbing their child of Mint which Is absolutely n necesBlty. "Tho old cat will actually teach her klttenB to play. Sho will participate with her offspring. (If fathers would play marbles occasionally with their boys It would tend to lessen evil com panions and hnbits, I thought hore.V While at play both tho body nnd mind nro built up. Play Is good for tha grown-up porson. Ab I look at some porsons In this vicinity, Ilfo seems to ho Indeed n humdrum affair to them. Thoy oat, sloop, and work, then re pent It ovor again, with perhaps a visit to tho moving plcturo shows. What men need Is real fun ns thor go along to rellftvo tho strain thnt comes Into llfo. If a mnn can't got Joy out of his work an ho goes along, ho had bettor got anothor Job. "A vacation is a necessity. Wo all nocd a chango in both occupatloa and In location. It helps to keop up normal. God Wnnts Us to Do Happy. 1 "To some, nmusoment moans moral ly cards, theaters, dancing nnd drink ing of strong drink. They can not seem to get happiness out of any thing oIbo. This Ib a pitiful confes sion of poverty of both body, mind nnd soul. I notlcod tho froo boozo whtlo at the railroad celebration at North Dcnd and I nUo noticed tho men crowding up to drink llko pigs going to dlBCUBS tho problem of worldllnc88, but rather what he hud to say was along tho lino of fun, Joy, merriment und gladness. The Millie u Hook of (ihuliiCNM. "Nowhere docs' tho Dtblo cxnlt gloominess. Tho opposlto Is tho rule. It does not ndvocnto a sad and In sipid life. Tho Dlhlo on tho other hand seeks tho happiness of the In dividual. Christ's llfo was full of In tense Interest In human welfare It can bo truthfully said that no part of human tendency was over repressed by him. Tho normal tondency of us all. Christ well understood, and he did not legislate against this. Church lias Hern Too Strict. "On tho other hand tho church has boon repressive It has no doubt ami Hint makes one less a mnn. nnd fun thnt hurts, God docs not wnnt us to bo Indulging lu. God wants to mnko us happy." I was surprised to henr tho pnBtor mnko an npology for keoplng us ov er the hour, It Homed very short. I might hnvo gotten more out of this sermon on the "IlollglousnoBi! of Morrlmont." had It not been for somo young pcoplo who acted as though this excellent pastor was speaking on tho "Morrlmont of Re ligion," nnd I wns bothored n num ber of Mines. I remember that Mr. Dassford nnnouncod thnt ho would bo glad to sponk on any topic which the peoplo might suggest, nnd ho urged thorn to place In n small box In tho vestlbulo such requests.

This conies from tho fnct that tho church Is fal lible and llnblo to orr. Thoro was a tlmo when tho church bolloved nnd taught that In n sonso tho world was lost and was to bo abandoned, but now noltlier you nor I bellovo this nt all. Worship was confused with forms, nnd in order to got happiness ono must rofrnin from all Intercourse with Individuals and withdraw from men. Christ did not tench so. Ills proyor for Ills dlsclplos was that thoy might bo kopt whilo In this world, not taken out of it. "Tho church has beon horotoforo too sorlous, hns been blinded and has only seen ono sldo.
