~N HE country church has u place
IA to I'LL in the rural community
III 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 II is a large
village that can support more than
one. The curse of denominationalism
has been the ruin Of religious life in
many a rural community. From being
an exponent of peace the church too
often has become a promoter of strife.
A spirit Of friendly rivalry has devel-
oped many times into a bitter fight be-
tween denominations. When churches

speedily gain an influence that will

BY cooperating with the teachers
the preacher can do much TO help
along the educational work ia the
community. BY cooperating with the
grange or club he can do much TO
promote the social life. Indeed. he
can make the church the social cen
ter of the community, The time thus

LOOKING FOR
A HUSBAND

IT'S just like always said it would
be- declared Mrs. Birllin. Just give
me one of them washed-ont blondes
for ketchin' man every time!
Il says when her first husband was
sick and her carrying on so, You just
wait says, for all she acts like
she's so put out about his being sick.
If he should take q notion to die, I
says, 'twouldn't be long before she
married again And never a truer
word was spoke.
Nobody needed to tell me that
she was up TO some of her tricks
when she moved into that house next
door to him. She was sending him a
pie or some cookies or something ev-
cry time she baked Why, I was Twin
neighbors with him and his first wife
for's muchs ten years and | never
offered to do more'n bake loaf Of
bread for him twice a week or run
in and fix things up for him every
day or two. But then I'm not the
kind to run after men. What l done
was done out of charity, you might
say, because | knowed his first wife
and had been Twin neighbors with
him for so long
How a man could want to marry
her after eatin' her cookin' is moren
l can say. But then l don't know as
he wanted to marry her very much. l
guess she KEEP after him until he
thought that was the easiest way out

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 dozen. The only
bass singer is a 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-
ent belongs TO one denomination and
all the good teachers belong to anoth-
er. AS a result all the Sunday schools
lead a 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 chuNh 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 large share of his time
travelling. and his only influence in
the community is that which he ex-
erts from the pulpit on Sunday, If
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 il 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, a 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 10 the country
church is usually a 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 stepping stone 10 a
pulpit in the city.
Ii 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
