Foreword
THE object of this book is to offer helpful suggestions for keeping the social life of the young people affiliated with church societies under the. protecting care of the Church, and to present new methods of church work along other lines that will make the work more effective. In its pages will be found ideas for wholesome entertainment, hints on making instruction interesting, and financial plans that include neither sale nor barter. Social life has a rightful and an important place in the Church if the people, young and old, feel an uplifting influence in that good fellowship which should attend their assemblies.
My thanks are due to the many ministers, ministers’ wives, and other church workers among the readers of The Ladies’ Home Journal —in the pages of which this material originally appeared—who, by written contribution and expressed interest, have helped to make the _ book possible. elite Hee We ili
