Thu Boclal duty of tho rural church Is a muoh a put o( Its obllgaUoas as Its eplrltual atdo. In expreaattx Ita social Interest, tho modora rural church doos not heeltato to claim that it Is ciprosslnj a truo rollfloua In. stlnot and tho old-tit Idea that the soolal luetlncta should be starred whllo tho spiritual nature tras over fod with solid theological food, is fast giving way to a broador laterpreta tlon of the functions of truo relicts. Wo tuko our place In the saooeaatoa of thoRO who hare eought to make the world a lit habitation for tho oh 11 dree of man whon we soek to study and understand the social duty of the rural church. Tho true Christian re ligion is essentially social Its tonots of faith being lore and brotherhood and fellowship. While following after righteousness, tho church must chal longo and seek to reform that social order In which moral life Is ex prcssod. Whllo cherishing ldoala of scrvlco, tho rural ohurch wbloh at tains tho fullost meaBuro of success Is that which enriches aa many lives as it can touch, and In no way can tho church come In close contact with ltd mombors as through tho avonue of nodal functions. The country town and the rural community need a social center. The church noed off or no apology for Its ambition to nil this need In tho 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, otich of, which tins its, own center, but tliurn aro many localities which have but otio church und although such a church tuiinot command the Intereet of atl tho puoplo, It Is relieved from tin) embarrassment of religiously di vided communities. Social Needs Imperative. Tho average country boy and girl hiivo vory llttto opportunity for roul enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a viii;uo conception of the meaning of plousuro und recreation. It Is to fill thin void In tho llvoe of country youth Unit tho rural ohurch han rl:cn to Die nooeselty of providing entertain mnnt as wull its Instruction to itu muiubomhlp among tho young. Tho clilldrtm and young pooplo of the church should moot when religion Is not oven mentlonod. It has boen found rmfout for thorn to meet fre quently undor tho direction and care of tho church. To send them Into the world with no ttoolal training exposes them to grnv perils and to try to kuep thorn out of tho world with no soclnl prlvllcgos Is sheer folly, There lo n boclul naturo to both old and young, but tho social requirements of tho young aro Imperative. The church must provldo directly or Indirectly somo modem equivalent for the husk' Ing boo, the quilting boe and the sing' Ing schools of tho old days. In one way or another tho social Instincts of our young people must have oppor tunity for expression, whloh may tuko tho form of clubs, parties, plo nlca or other forum of amusement Ono thing Ih oertaln, and that la that tho church cannot take away tho dunco, tho card party and tha theater unless It can offer In Ita place a sat isfying substltuto In the form of more pleasing rucruutlon. Universal Instinct for Play, In providing for enjoyment the church uses ono of tho greatest meth- odH by which human society haa de veloped. Association Is never secure until it Is plooaurablo; In play the In- stlni'tlvo avornlon of one porson for another Is ovorcomo and tho social mood Is fostered, Play Is the chief educational agency In rural coinuiun Itlo nnd In tho play-day of human childhood soolal sympathy and social hublta aro evolved. As individuals come together In social gathering. their viewpoint is broadened, their Ideals aro lifted and finally they con stltuto ii cultured and rutlned society. It U pluln, therefore, that the church which alma at a porfoct so ciety must use In n refined and ex alted way tho essential factor In aoclal evolution und must avail Itself of tho universal Instinct for play. If tho church surrounds Itself vita social functions which appeal V) Utf young among Its membership, H wVfct nil n lnrge part of the lamentable gap In rural pleasures and will reap tho richest reward by promoting a higher and better typo of manhood and womanhood.
