Times change, and with other change~ that have been \vrought is the separation of the church frotn tnost of the social activities of the people \vho compose it. Many and varied rival institutions have sprung up to attract. The church has ceased to be the meeting house, has become only one of the many places in which people gather for the inspiration that con1es from contact \vith one's fellown1en. Evidence is constantly increasing that there is recognition of the Jo ss that has been sustained in this change in the character of the church, this surrender of claitn upon the attention and loyalty of the people grouped about it. . Everywhere there is a growing tendency to re store the House of God to its old place of influence in the live s of the con11nunity, to tnake it once tnore the n1eeting house 'vhere folk, young and old, delight to gather. not only to \\'Or~ hip and to pray. but to enjoy the companionship of kindred souls. Every advance to\\'anl this end is in the \Yay of progress in the rc . toration of the church to that high place in the life of the cotnn1unity that it once held.

And it is not primarily because the patrons of the library wish to know how to do in the tnost approved manner the thing that is done. but because they are learning- to turn to hooks for help. There is additional sati. faction to he det·ived frorn the fact that once the librarY habit is fonned and acquaintance with its ~~dvantag-es established. the detnand for other hooks than those of the "how" group will also gro\\'. \Vith a volume on chicken raising will go one on travel, perhaps, or a biography of sotneone who has helped to tnakc the world what it is todaY. lt all 1nakes for a bn)ader culture and a tnorc 1.: untc>nted people.

But in our north shore to\vns the problem is attacked and Hallowe'en parties arranged, thus benefiting not only the boys but also peace-loving property holders. 'ah ."
