A Broader Sphere for Religion—New
Field for the Rural Church.
t
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. Id expressing Its
social Interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious In
stinct and the old-time ide* that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, Is fast
giving way to a broader Interpreta
tion 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 tho children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re
ligion is essentially social —Its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal
lenge and seek to reform that social
order In which moral life Is ex
pressed. While cherishing Ideals of
service, the rural church which at
tains the fullest measure of success
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 titer no apology for Its
ambition to All 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 com
plex; it contains many social groups,
each of which has Its own center, but
there are many localities which have
ibut one church and although such
a church cannot command tho Inter
est of all the people, It Is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities
i .y
Social Needs Imperative. -dP
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 Oil
this void in-the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the neceeslty of providing entertain
ment, as well as instruction, to Its
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion la
not even mentioned. It haa been
found aafest for them to meet fre
quently under the direction snd care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges Is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the aoclal requirements of
the young are Imperative. Tha church
must provide directly or Indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
I way or another the social instincta
I of our young people must have oppor
| tunlty for Expression, which may
take the form of clube, parties, pic
nics or other forms of amusement.
One thing la certain, and that la that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unleaa It can offer in ita place a sat'
lsfylng substitute In the form of more
pleasing recreation.

church usee oae of the greatest metb

leaders in congress.
At the White House It was said
present sentiment among officials was
agalnat an extra aesslon, bat that no
definite conclusion had been reached.*.
All appropriation bills will be freed of
legislative riders .which might cause
prolonged discussion in the senate
and leaders think they can be passed
in a week or ten flays If the shipping
bill Is disposed of.
Administration senators agreed it
would be Impossible to recommend
the ship purchase bill with Instruc
tions for its modification and deter
mined their only course to get an
amended bill before tbe senate was to
yield to Senator Clarke's motion,
which threw the Democratic ranks

One of the chief dlfflcultle* that the

came not to lx> ministered unto, but to
minister (Matt, xx, 28). May we al
ways be able to say from the heart,
"Whose 1 am and whom I aerve." and
count It our highest privilege to minis
ter unto Illm (Acta xxvli. 23; Luke rill,
8; Dan. ri, 16). In tbe revised version
tbe words "precious" and "open" are
In the margin "rare" and "frequent,"
and the meaning probably la that any
special message from the Lord waa of ]
rare occurrence or It bad been aom* ]
time since He bad spoken. The book
of Judges ended with every man doing
right in hla own eyes fxxi. 26), and
now Ell. the priest of tbe tabernacfe,
which was then at Sbllob (1, S; Josh,
xvlil, 1, 10). waa somewhat out of fel
lowship. for be mistook broken heart
ed. praying Hannah for a drunken wo
map and did not coutrol hla own sons,
honoring them above God. so that a
man of God bad to come to him with
a reproof and a warning (L 12-10; U,
27-38).
Before we conaider tbe call of Samuel
In our leaaon let us look at the circum
atancea of bla birth. His father. El
kannb. Seems to have been s devout
man. going up from year to year to
worship and to aacriflce nnto tbe Lord
of hosts In Sbllob (I, S). But be had
two wires, wblcb was contrary te
God's original arrangement and al
ways .brought trouble. Hannah,' Who
had no children, waa continually
taunted by tbe other, ber adversary,
provoked so.e and made to fret and
grieve (I. 4-8) Her refuge was prayer
unto lite Lord, and Ue heard ber and
guve bi-r thla aon Samuel (1, 10-201.
She culled him Samuel because she
ashed God for blm (L 20. margin),
mid when she bid weaned him sbe
took I• 11* ito Phlloh to serve tbe Lord
lu the tiiliermirle with Eli. visiting blm
fiooi year to year when She went up
to worship it ltd taking blm a little coat
«. 2I 'JB: U. 18. 1»).
Tbe Lord nUundantly rewarded ber
for tbe gift of ber firstborn, for He
gave her Ave others, tbree sons and
Iwo daughters (11. 20. 21). So Samuel;
grew before tbe Lord and waa in fa
vor Im>ili with the Isird and also with
men. and the l.ord was with him, and
nil Israel knew Unit be waa e*tabU*ht
ed to be a prophet of tbe Lord (U. 21,
Sill, now beautifully the Lord did
bless tbe lioy who was dedicated to
Him even l>efore his birth, and how
grandly He (lid reward bis mother and
cause her to forget ber misery and
sing for Joy! Her song In chapter U,
1-10. wlilcb is also called a prayer, I*
one of the most beautiful on record.
Returning to our leaaon story, wo
read that one ulgbt, or perbapa toward
tbe dawn (verses 2. 3. IS). Bamuel
heard some one call blm. and. auppoo-
Ing It to lie Ell. he ran to blm. but. on
being ensured that Ell bad not called
him.nhe lay down again. Tbe second
time be beard his name and went
again to Ell. but was assured aa be
fore. Not until be heard his name the
third time and for the third time went
to Ell with the wqrds "Here am I" did
Ell perceive that tbe Lord waa calling
the child. Tben be said to him. "If
you are called again aay. "Speak. Lord,
for thy servant beareth.'" For th*
fourth time tbe Lord called him and
thl* ttnje mentioned Ma name twlco
: "Samnel, Samoal."
| \ have found only seven people In
th* Bible who were thu* addreaaed,
i and there moat be aome significance
In It. whether are can as* It or not.
, Look them up and ponder the ilni
' atancaa prayerfully. On hearing thla
fourth call Samuel rep Had a* BU
taught him, aad than th* Lord gave
to Samuel the eoiemn mtaagga for Dt
which he faithfully repented te him In
th* morning, telling Mm erery whit
j and hiding nothing frees him. It ts
doubtful tt either of them slept agaki
that night. Samuel had his tret mee
aage directly from the Lord, and BU
waa no doubt wondering what it could
be. They each had enough to think
aboat Samuel from this time onward
ss«m* to have bad alwaya an ear for
God. Note tbe pecnllar language of
