1 HARE PLAYGROUND AT EVERY CHURCH “INNEW YOR TY Such a Plan Urged by the Pas- tor of Grace M. E. Church in Upper Manhattan. FAVORS MOVIES, TOO. Lack of Play Makes a Crim- | inal of a Child, Says the Rev. C. F. Reisner. By Sophie Irene Loeb. Every church in the city should be @ pudiic playground. The only excuse for churches being ezempt from tazes is their giving pudlic service. Every ohurchyard in the city ehould be opened up as public play- grounds, If there is one thing that makes a oriminal of a child it is lack of play. Reoreation should be one of the atrongest attractions of the Church. The playgrounds insure the per petuity of the home.—Rev. Christian FP. Retener. That the Church {ts assuming new functions as a result of the trend of the times must be recognized every- where. Many things which ten years ago could not even have been whie- pered as a part of the Church pro- paganda are now openly, sensibly and strongly urged in bringing people to ite precincts. We are progressing, to say the least, ‘when every form of wholesome recre- ation is being advocated right in the Church. A strong example of the value of such methods is certainly found in the Grace Methodist Episco- pal Church in West One Hundred and Fourth street. MAKES HIS CHURCH AN AT- TRACTIVE PLACE. Be pastor, Dr. Christian Reisner, does not wait for his cengregation to @ome, but he brings them there be- ease of his twentieth century meth- 49 of making the church a happy place to go to, When I talked with him about playgrounds he said: “That le one of the mest impor- tant subjects that | know—creat- ing places ef play for the chil- dren, not only the children ef the ehuroh, but any children along the etreet. Every churchyard in the city should be opened for such Durpesse and preper appliz-cos put in that the children may en- jey themeeives right in their churchyard. Moreever, every available place in the church should be used. Last summer ever 6,000 children under seven years enjoyed our little play- ground adjoining the church. “This plot of ground 1s only 25x100 and only one supervisor was em- ployed. If every church could thus throw open this much ground and entertain 6,000, think what a boon it would be! I believe all the churches ebould co-operate in The Evening ‘World's pian of opening all the vacant places available for children to play im at least through the hot months, PLAYGROUND ASSURES HOME HAPPINESS. “I firmly belieye that the play- und insures théfhappiness of the me to no small extent. For ex- ample, a tired mother having consid- erable housework to do, worried also with the care of a child, cannot poas!- bly retain the happiest spirit through all these difficulties. But if she could een dher child to a playground under the supervision of a church or a school, knowing that it was safely guarded under such jurisdiction, she oould go on and do her work. In the evening when her husband comes home she feels much more joyous in irit; he does not hear of the con- stant care of the child along with the coe vere and the whole family is better. “Beoldes | believe that the ehild who does not play le more likely to become a criminal than the child who tion of a child ii animal self. it has go! 80. Otherwiee it becomes meditative and thinks of things to do it sheuld not do, In other words it cultivates and follows the false appetite which very often leans toward the orlminal. “Also in public playgrounds prop- erly supervised, children of all creeds and nationalities melt together, es- pectally the rich and the poor, which is ag tt should be. Children as a rule together do not draw in playing class distinctions, and it is only when the adults keep them aloof from other children that they become narrow in their views of them. But the natural instinct of the child 1s to play with other children of his own age. “Many people have a notion thet the church Is open on Sun- da merely to warn sinners of Taare pun! ind to demand an impractical pi 8 Not at all.
