CHURCH ATHLETICS.
NEW AND SUCCESSFUL AIDS TO EVAN
GELIZATION.
Rev. Charles Scadding Find’s Billiards and
Bowling, Tennis and Baseball Effective
Agents In Arousing the Interest of the
Young People of His Congregation.
Athletics are orthodox aids to evan
gelization according to the theory and
practice of the Rev. Charles Scadding,
rector of Emmanuel Episcopal church
at Lagrange, Ills. His parishioners,
who constitute one of the wealthiest and
most fashionable congregations in that
handsome little superb of Chicago, evi
dently agree with him, for he is very
popular with all classes, and his inno
vations in church work have been warm
ly indorsed.
Emmanuel church no longer depends
upon good music, regular services and
occasional church sociables to retain its
hold on the young people. A reading
room, a complete gymnasium, shower
baths and finally a bowling alley add to
its attractiveness. Winter or summer
its doors are never closed before a rea
sonably late hour at night. On Sundays
may be heard the solemn chanting of
the choir, the deep, sonorous tones of
the organ and the measured oratory of
the rector, but on weekday evenings
these sounds give place to the biff bang
of boxing gloves, the rattle of foils, the
low rumble of balls on the long, shining
alleys, followed by the crash which ac
companies a ten strike, shouts of “Set
’em up again on the other alley!” and
the lively cries which young people who
are enjoying themselves are likely to
make use of.
Perhaps these novel church furnish
ings would cause some comment on the
part of those who are apt to regard such
edifices as sacred and solemn places, but
the congregation of Emmanuel church
was gradually prepared for such innova
tions and has come to look upon them
as the usual and proper adjuncts for
fighting the sinful allurements of the
outside world.
Rev. Charles Scadding, the man who
has educated his flock up to the pitch
where tenpins and flying rings are con
sidered appropriate for.evangelical pur
poses, is a graduate of Trinity college,
Toronto. He has held pastorates in To
ledo, Buffalo and New York.
When he went to Lagrange, he
found that the young men and women
of his flock had but little place in the
mwl
REV, CHARLES SCADDING.
church work. To make them feel that
they had a real church home was his ob
ject from the first. He began by going
into the tennis court and proving his
skill with the racket. The boys soon
found that he was a first class baseball
player and that he had few peers when
it came to performing on the horizontal
bar.
Gradually he established a reading
room and a gymnasium. The last is a
roomy, pleasant, well lighted floor,
which was equipped at an expense of
SSOO with all kinds of athletic appara
tus. Funds for its foundation were
originally provided by the sale of life
memberships at SSO each and by associ
ate and active memberships ranging
from $2 to $lO a year. Those who make
an annual subscription of $5 are given
keys to the gymnasium and allowed to
use it at any hour of the day or evening,
while those who hold $2 memberships
are allotted certain convenient hours in
which to make use of the Indian clubs,
parallel bars and other apparatus for
physical development. An instructor of
athletics is also employed to give lessons
to evening classes, which may be enter
ed without extra charge.
Nearly 200 young men have become
members of the gymnasium, and in
stead of being an expense it has been
found that the fees, together with the
receipts from various entertainments.
proviso ■mote tnan enough money to pay
all the bills of this department of church
work. When it was proposed to put in
bowling alleys some time ago, a novel
method of,raising money was adopted.
Dr. Scadding called.it an “election par
ty,’’and the name was an appropriate
one. On the night of the recent presi
dential election the managers of the en
terprise had made all the necessary ar
rangcmcEts for announcing the returns.
; Wires had I con run into the guildreow,
operators engaged and the bulletins read
as they were clicked oil the instruments.
An admission of 25 cents was charged,
and the receipts were further swelled
by the serving of refreshments by the
ladies. The affair was a big success, and
when the accounts were settled the di
rectors cf the gymnasium found that
they had money enough to put in the
bowling alley right away.
Two years of experience with the
gymnasium has made the admirers of
Rector Scadding enthusiastic over the
possibilities of this kind of church work
and has led them to take the broad
ground that any form of amusement
suitable for a Christian home is not toe
worldly to bo indulged in under the
church roof. S. P. Schenck.
