THE CHURCH A SOCIAL FACTOR IN THE COMMUNITY 4 (lly F. A. TIEIHJEX, Superintendent Marsliflold Public Schools) BILL PUSSES HOUSE The following Is a copy of tho ad dress delivered by F. A. Tledgon at tho Presbyterian Church last Sun day morning: MAKIXO MARSIIFIEI.D A CUT llEAUTIFUIi J - I lly Abbey Lodwnrd SEVERAL thlngB could bo dono to maho .Marsliflold, a bountiful and Inviting city. As it Is, poo plo Just arriving hero form n very bad opinion of tho Inhabitants from tho goncrnl appearance of our city. Tho first and most. Important thing to bo dono, Is to maho .an extension of tho asphalt streets, as a city that is considered bcautlljul hns Imvod Btrcots and not the narrow planked ones. Comont sidewalks should uc- f company paved Btrcots to help boau- ' tify a city. "Whon putting in theso sldownlks nnd Btrcots, a spaco should bo loft between them for grcon grass and trees or shrubbery. When grass Is onco planted It will always bo thoro nnd with a llttlo caro It can easily bo kept green. Young maplo, toak or ovorgreon trees may also bo plant ed horo to afford beauty. Tho next things to think about nro the vacant lots and marshes. If It wore not for theso places, wo might .say our city was improving rapidly. Tho marshes linvo boon somovhat Im provod by filling them- in, but thoy need good drulnago and vogotntlon. i: tho vacant lots could bo turned ovor to tho persons living near thorn, to bo usod as gardens or mudo into grassy plots, tho beauty of Mnrchtlold would improve In placos,whero thoro Is a group of vacant lots, u park should ho made, an tho community Is badly In need of parkH. There is a varloty of inntorlnl for good parks around Mnrshflcld. A children's playground might ho cousldorod under parks. Anyway I think it should bo n doop consldron tlon, for too many children are play lim on tho streets. Another important cousldorrtlon Is Front Btrcot, which makcH Marsli flold an uninviting city, llrick or comont bulldlugH erected on this street might liolp to Improve or beau tify our city. All other Improvements for a elty beautiful would not bo noticed unless Front streot was Im proved. Last of nil wo must consider tho surroundings of Marsliflold such as tho boulovard to tho beach an 1 u iiwlnglng bridge ncross tho Ray in stead of a ferry. Tho boulovard has boon started llko many other things, but never completed. Why can't it bo finished? If tho hay wore a mile wido wo might have an oxouso for a ferry hut as it Is a bridge Is uoeded and should be built. "T 11)0 Church Is Business" seems to he tho kcynoto of tho scrvlco this niornluc. It Is u good motto that should bo' vrltton upon tho walls of every church In tho land, and n bocoiu! llko '""to It, "Tho School Is Uuslncss" ought to bo conspicuous upon tho wnlls of every school house. Thoro 13 altogether too much easy thinking associated with tho work of both those organizations. They nro thought of roo much as ideally good whonJfl.onl my llfo Evory Btrolto 0 they l.oiild bo considered practically ;'ol8 8turtc(, tra,nB or nB80cln 'so. Peoplo who nro so taken im with tho thinga of oyo nnd ear that only In their bettor moments do they ronllzo that tho grentcst forces In tlma When last I heard their soothing chime." The sentiment bf thoso linos mado ino realize how much how Infinitely such ull my thinking was uiicon- iiiclously controlled nnd directed by tho church's way of looking at. things. Duo to the associations of a vigorous church In early childhood and then later to tho associations of protes tors and students In n Christian col- logo, tho church's point of vlow was so much a part of mo who novcr occupied more than n back scat near tho door that it would bo forover liiiposslble to eradicate Its Influence f tho associations that wont dashing off In the mind nil directed and subtly governed by the church's point of vlow. It could never bo otherwise.

I "TJio Church as a Social Factor In tho Community." It is axiomatic that man Is a crenturo of Instincts. Just how many tiro catalogued, it might surprlso us to know woro tho subjects to bo Investigated but lit tle. Among theso liiBtincts two nro prominent the religious and tho so cial, nnd both nro tho principal con- corn of tho church, other Instincts In man nro her concern, but none other Kb much as theso two. I supposo it was Bomo such rea soning as tills by tho pastor of tho church that led to the assignment or at least two of tho subjects ror discussion at this scrvlco this morn ing. Consideration of theso two In stincts gives tho feeling that tho two nro not equally Important that tho religious Is moro fundamental to chnractcr building than tho social. Indeed tho relationship of tho two kmuy ho likened to n thorough-faro that, generally speaking paralleled 'by n foot-path. Tho path merely supplements tho main highway. Its courso may devious, n nil It tany ovon Ios.o Its Identity now nnd then by .mooting nnd Ibccomlng n part of tho highway fbr n pleco branching off, nt length to take on ugalu un Individuality of Its own. 116th path and highway nro useful. Thoy supplement each other ndvnntu- gcoi(uy and nnturally too without ronscloiiB planning. It la so with the lollgious and social work of tho church. As nn object lesson thnt wo may 'hold off and examine, cousldnr the school. Tho school is merely con cerned with tho lournliiK nnd social Instinct In man. Of theso the learn ing instinct Is moro lmirortaut and 'this In borne out by tho facts which provo that any school Is In a hoallhy condition only when the social In stinct Is considered bf secondary Im portance to tho Intellectual.
