"a HE country church has a place
to I'LL in the rural community
that can be filed by nothing
else. In too many cases the
church has failed to make the most Of
its opportunities. It's growth has not
kept pace with the growth Of other
rural institutions.
The country church Is too often a
mere imitation of the city church.
The church officers and the pastors do
not recognize that rural needs in re-
ligion are as distinctive as rural needs
In education. In the city there Is room
for many churches and many denomina-
tons. In the country this is not the
case. One church is enough for any
country community, and It Is a large
village that can suSlort more than
one. The curse of d1hominationalism
has been the ruin Of religious life in
many a rural community. From being
an exponent Of peace the church too
often has become promoter Of strife.
A spirit Of friendly rivalry has devel-
oped many times into bitter fight be-
tween denominations. When churches

promote the social life. Indeed, he

His Downfall.

Broadway caused the down.
fall Of the Fortune Hunter. He
lived the life Of the Great White
Way until he was fred from
pillar to post. He had just one
good point left, and he chung to
that. He did have some self re-
spect. He could not have been
such a bad fellow after all. He
was not bad at heart. He was
shiftless, careless, thoughtless.
He had to be reformed, and he
was. It's a great story-the way
he was reformed.

THE COUNTRY CHURCH IS FACING A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY.
fight the devil gets his due, and too
often he has seized his opportunity to
capture the whole community, bag and
baggage.
The cases where church differences
are carried to extremes are fortunately
comparatively rare. The worst part of
the division into denominations is
found usually In the division of church
support. A community that could sup
port one thriving church divides its en-
ergies among half a dozen. The only
bass singer is Presbyterian perhaps,
and the soprano is Methodist and the
rest Of the choir are Baptists. AS a
result the singing in all the churches
Is a minus quantity, or nearly so. The
only good Sunday school superintend-
all the good teachers belong to anoth-
er. AS result all the Sunday schools
lead precarious existence.
One of the worst effects Is seen In
the social life of the community. The
country church should be the center
Of rural social life. Where several
weak churches have taken the place of
one strong church this Is impossible.
A free mingling of all the people in
the community on an equal basis is
interfered with.
Another Of the evils Of denomina-
tionalism is the division Of financial
support. When the money that might
support one strong chuHh is divided
among two or three the results are
disastrous. The first effect is seen
in the quality Of the preachers. The
salaries which the divided churches
can afford to pay Will attract only the
poorest class Of preachers. Often two
or three towns are joined together and
one preacher provided for ALL He
must spend a large share of his time
travelling. and his only influence In
the community is that which he ex.
erts from the pulpit on Sunday. II
instead of giving one preacher three
churches in different towns he were
given the three In the same town. he
would have more time to give to his
people.
In essentials the different churches
have the same belief. Rural people
want the plain. simple religion OF
Jesus Christ They have no time to
split hairs over fancied differences Of
creed. Few Of them know the creed
Of the church to which they belong
or whether II has a creed or not The
Bible Is creed enough for them.
The increased financial support which
the consolidated church receives
means a better building. better lights.
more money for the Sunday school
and, above all, better preacher.
This last is the most difficult point.
Ideal preachers for rural churches are
difficult to secure. The theological
schools do not recognize the country
church as having needs that differ
from those Of the city church. The
pastor who is sent to the country
church Is usually city born and city
trained man with city ideals. He has
no understanding Of rural life or rural
problems and too often he has no de-
sire to learn. He looks upon the coun-
try church as a stepping stone to
pulpit in the city.
1t Is little wonder that preacher
with no sympathy with the problems
or lives Of his people cannot achieve
the highest success. He gives the peo-
pie theology when they want the sim
pie faith. He tells them how to die

Better Than Last Year,

WinnSb0r0.-The general conditions
Of cotton in the parish, as compared
to last year, are better, with the pros
pect of larger yield, due 10 two
causes-an increase in acreage and a
better yield. The Weeyil put in ap-
pearanCe later this year than last,
and as a result, his ravages will no.
be as great as last year. Planters
throughout the parish are expecting
at least half crop, while it is the
opinion of others in a position to know
that the crop will exceed the one-half
limit The recent hot, dry weather
has caused cotton to begin opening,
and already several bales have been
and at least one sold in the
parish. The farmers seem willing
enough to sell at the present prices.
A free movement of the crop may be
in this parish during the lat
ter days of this month.

from Pennsylvania to help lay the nat.

engaged to work for wages less than
paid some other laborers in the field.
This caused a suggestion that the for

killed. According to the sheriffs re-
