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.
