I wasn’t shocked in the least at the play, enly at th f a ttitude c-4 the audi ence, which refused !• fee shocked —^Puck. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’ Union. The church, the press and the school form a triple alliance of progress that guides the destiny of every commun ity, state and nation. Without them civilization would wither and die and through them life may, e ttain its great est blessing, power and knowledge. The farm ers of this nation are greatly indebted to this social trium virate for their uplifting influence, and on behalf of the American plowmen I want to thank those engaged in these high callings tor their able and efficient service, and I shall offer to the press a series of articles on co-operation between these im p ortant influences and the farm ers in the hope of in creasing the efficiency of all by mu tual understanding and organized ef fort. We will take up, first, the rural Church. The Farmers Are Great Church Build ers. The American farm er is the greatest church builder the world has ever known. He is the custodian of the nation’s morality; upon his shoulders rests the “ark of the covenant” and he is more responsive t© religious in fluences than any other class of cit izenship. The farm ers of this nation have built 120,000 churches at a cost of $750,000,000, and the annual contribu tion of the nation toward all church institutions approximates $200,000,000 per-annum. The farm ers of the Uni ted States build 22 churches per day. There are 20,0.00,000 rural church com municants on the farm, and 54 per cent of the total membership of all churches reside in the country. The farm is the power-house of all progress and the birthplace ©f all that is noble. The Garden of Eden was in .the country and the man who Would get close to God must first get close to nature. The Functions of a Rural Church. If thp-rural churches today are go ing to render a service which this age demands, there must be co-operation between the religious, social and eco nomic life of the community. The church to attain its fullest meas ure of success must enrich the lives of the-neonle in the cormmmitv it serves; it must build characterf devel op thought and increase the efficiency of human life. It m ust serve the so cial, business and intellectual, as well as the spiritual and moral side of life. If religion^ does not make a man more capable, more useful and more just, what good is it? We want a practical religion, one we can live by and farm by, as well as die by. Fewer and Better Churches. Blessed is that rural community which has but one place of v/orship. While competition is the life of trade, it is death to the rural church and moral starvation to the community. Petty sectarianism is a scourge that blights the life, and the church preju- 1 dice saps the vitality, of many com munities. An over-churched commun ity is a crime against religion, a seri ous handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture. While denominations are essential and church pride coramendahle, the high teaching of universal Cnristlanity must prevail if the rural church is to fulfill its mission to agriculture. We frequently have three or four churches in a community which is not able to adequately support one. Small congregations attend services once a month and all fail to perform the re ligious functions of the community. The division of religious forces and the breaking into fragments of moral efforts is. ofttimes little less than a calamity and defeats the very purpose they seek to promote. The evil^ of too many churches can be minimized by co-operation. The social and economic life of a rural community are respective units and cannot be successfully divided by de nominational lines, and the churches can only oecupy this important field by co-operation and co-or-dination. The efficient country church will definitely serve its community by lead ing in all worthy efforts at comm unitv building, in uniting the people in all co-operative endeavors for the gen eral welfare of th® community and in arousing a real love for country life and loyalty to the country home a i^ these res.ults can only be successfuliy accomplished by the united effort of the press, the school, the church and orsrariized farmers M any P r e tty Articles Presented for Universal 1st Sale, Besides $17 in Money. The-.shower held by the Universal- ist ladles aid at Chapin Hall last F ri day evening was v e ry largely »ttended and wa®. a grand .social success as well as profitable to the ladiies who received multitudinous articles for iheir .sale which ist being held this afternoon and evening.
