HE DEPRECKTE ISSING GAMES D FORFES Rev. Dr. Shepard on i Church Socials. e PLEADS FOR RESTRICTIONS e T S S HE SAYS THEY ARE TOO MUCH TP TO DATE. g More of the Religious Spirit and Less of the Lottery Plan Would i Meet With His Ideas. e The modern church social was the sub- ject of a sermon last evening by Rev. H. T. Shepard of the Olivet Congregational Church, Noe and Seventeenth streets. While not entirely opposed to the socials, which are such a source of revenue to the church, and the existence of which sur- rounds the pastor's salary with a degree of certainty. Rev. Mr. Shepard admitted that they had descended to frivolous af- fairs bordering on the sacrilegiou: Dr. Shepard discussed the church social source of profit, recreation and ip. He urged that some of the up- be eliminated from the af- ke functions | and the entertainments with solemn mu- sic and pathetic recitations meet with his in- unqualified approval as a means of | creasing the church funds; but he p tively draws the line at the socials given in the name of the church where kissing games are the chief attractions and lot- tery schemes are the fad. According to Dr. Shepard’s ideas expressed from the pulpit last evening he would not for the world do anything to discourage the giving of church socials, | which they are abused at the present day they should be restricted and modified | and the mercenary | is sometimes the controlling one, should be corrected. “When their errors are pointed out to them the Christian people can be_trusted | to remedy the evil,” said Dr. “but they need | Many chirch festivals | a plane of frivolity that is sh i crilege to” permit them a house of worship. e_extortion frequently p: | ladies of the church while | vals or socials. men are often compelled to contribute | money or their wares under an implied threat that if they do not their will be injured. I believe that the busi- ness man should contribute to the church, | but it certainly lowers the dignity of the | institution to literally force him to do so. The church is an institution of protection | to him, but it becomes one of menace if | we allow the social to become an agency for extortion. “‘As conducted in the days of Christ and | the old Jewish church the social become: a part of and an advantage to our joyou | religious life. Aside from being a urce | of pleasure it should have an elevating | and not a demoralizing tendency.

Detective Graham of the Mission divi- slon had a rough battle with Thomas Con- nolly, a thief whom he sought to arrest on Twenty-fourth street yesterday after- noon.
