It Is Up to Parents to See That Boys and Girls Attend Church i ft GO TO CHURCH! The trouble with some of our churches nowadays is that they haven’t the support of the young people. Churches are filled >with grandfathers and grandmothers, but they lack the attendance of the young people. 4 RM NONE WILL DENY THAT IT IS DESIRABLE THAT OLD PERSONS ATTEND CHURCH. BUT TH/E CHURCH IS NOT SOLELY -FOR PEOPLE ADVANCED IN YEARS. THE CHURCH WANTS THE YOUNG PEOPL£.< PARTICULARLY THE YOUNG MEN. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE MANLY OR INSPIRING THAN THE SIGHT OF A YOUTH'WHO NEVER FAILS IN HIS ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH? THE GIRL WHO PICKS OUT THIS YOUNG MAN FOR A HUSBAND IS NOT MAKING A MISTAKE. HE WILL NOT DEPART* 9 FAR FROM THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND THE SAME APPLIES TO THE YOUTH WHO IS SEEKING A LIFE PARTNER. THE GIRL HE MEETS IN CHURCH. THE GIRL WHO SINGS IN THE CHOIR, IS THE GIRL WHO DESERVES AND GENERALLY GETS THE BEST HUSBAND. R R Parents, it is up to you to see that your boys and girls GO TO CHURCH. You are responsible for them and their conduct. If your boy or girl sulks at GOING TO CIILRCiI be firm. It is no time for indulgence. Have your child JOIN ONE OF THE CHURCH SOCIETIES. The mind of the young boy or girl is easily influenced for good or evil. The words of the preacher will make an impression. GOING TO CHURCH by the young makes for better men and women. The lessons they learn will stand by them in the battle of life. Every boy and girl should GO TO CHURCH next Sunday! should GO EVERY SUNDAY! Young people can do wonders in this splendid GO TO CHURCH movement!

THE CHURCH US ASOCIALCENTER ■■ ' —I A Broader Sphere for Religion— ; New Field for the Rural Church. Dy Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’ Union The social duty of the rural church ts 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 religious instinct and the old-time idea that the social instincts should be starved while the spiritual nature was overfed with solid theological food, is fast giving way to a broader interpretation of the functions of true religion. ! We take our place in the succession of those who have sought to make the world a fit habitation for the children of 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 expressed. While cherishing ideals of service, the rural church which attains the fullest measure of success I is that Which enriches as many lives ' as it can touch, and in no way can ■ the church come in as close contact with its members as through the avenue of social functions The country town and the rural community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for its ambition to fill this need in the com munity, if an understanding of its mission brings this purpose into clear consciousness The structure of a rural community is exceedingly complex; it contains many social groups, each of which has 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, rs well as instruction, to its membership among the young The c‘ Jr ren soon* neoplp <>££&»

i church should mee’t when religion is i not even mentioned. It has been ; found safest for them to meet fre- ! quently under the direction and care of the church. To send them into the world with no social training exposes them to grave perils aiyl 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 young, but the social requirements of the young are imperative. The church must provide directly or indirectly some modern equivalent for the husking bee, the quilting bee and the singing schools of the old days. In one I way or another the social instincts of our young people must have opportunity for expression, which may take the form of clubs, parties, picnics or other forms of amusement One thing is certain, and that is that the church cannot take away the .dance, the card party and the theatre unless it can offer in its place a satisfying substitute in the form of more pleasing recreation. Universal Instinct for Play. In providing for enjoyment the church uses one of the greatest methods by which human society has developed. Association is never secure until it is pleasurable; in play the, instinctive aversion of one person for 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 1 ideals are lifted and finally they constitute a cultured and refined society. It is plain, therefore, that the church which aims at a perfected society 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 surrounds itself with social functions which appeal to the young among its membership, it will fill a large part of the lamentable gap in rural pleasures and will reap the richest reward by promoting a higher and better type of manhood and womanhood —Don’t miss seeing the new lot of rugs just received at Beckmans.

PAYROLL DF CIVILIZATION MET BYJARMER WANTS NO “DEADHEADS” ON LIST OF EMPLOYES. A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS TO PREVENT USELESS TAX UPON AGRICULTURE. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’ Union The farmer is the paymaster of industry and as such he must meet the nation’s payroll. When industry pays its bill it must make a sight draft upon agriculture for the amount, which the farmer ia compelled to honor without protest This check drawn upon agriculture may travel to and fro over the highways of commerce; may build cities; girdle the globe with bands of steel; may search hidden treasures in the earth or traverse the skies, but in the end it will rest upon the soil. No dollar will remain suspended in midair; it is as certain to seek the earth’s surface as an apple that falls from a tree. When a farmer buys a plow he pays the man who mined the metal, the woodman who felled the tree, the manufacturer who assembled the raw material and shaped it into an article of usefulness, the railroad that transported it and the dealer who sold him the goods He pays the wages of labor and capital employed in the transaction as well as pays for the tools, machinery, buildings, etc.,, used in the construction of the commodity and the same applies to all articles of use and diet of himself and those engaged in the subsidiary lines of industry. There ,is no payroll In civilization that does not rest upon, the back of the farmer. He must pay the bills —all of them. The total value of the nation’s annual agricultural products is around $12,000,000,000, and it is safe to estimate that 95 cents on every dollar goes to meeting the expenses of subsidiary industries The farmer does not work more than thirty minutes per day for himself; the remaining thirteen hours of the day’s toil he devotes to meeting the payroll of the hired hands of agriculture, such as the manufacturer, railroad, commercial and other servants.

FIND SKELETON NEJIR SYRACUSE? i Receding Bank Bares Old Indian Grave And Discloses Bones While Clyde Bartholomew and I Emory Drukamiller were returning I to Syracuse along the south shore iof Syracuse lake, last Friday, they saw protruding from the banks of the lake, just west of Indiana Hill, a number of bones. Closer examination disclosed a skull and this was brought along to town. It was examined by J. P. Dolan, 1 who gave as his opiuion, that it was the skull of an Indian. A return trip was made to the place and nearlv a complete set of human bones was recovered. They were tumbled togather in a heap and it is supposed that the body was buried in a sitting pasture as was customary with some Indian tribes. The bones are now in the office of Superintendent Bachman and an attempt will be made to put them together in original form. Indian Hill, near which the find was made, originally secured its name from the fact that it was an Indian burial ground, and some of the older inhabitants say they can remember of Indian bodies being placed in the trees near that place.
