XV.-The Mission of the
Country Church.
BY C. v. GREGORY Y.

ciation.l
~ HE country church has a place
to fill in the rural community
that can be filed by nothing
else In too many cases the
church has failed to make the most of
It's opportunities. Its 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-
tions. In the country this is not the
case One church is enough for any
country community, and IL is large
village that can support more than
one The curse of denominationalism
has been the ruin of religious life in
many 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 bitter fight be-
tween denominations. When churches

down because it impressed US as be-

it illustrates as well as any story

solacci is youth of much elegance
and little discretion. He has been
spending right and left, and one
day he finds himself unable to pay
his hotel bill. Owing to the avarice
of his father, he appeals to his
uncle:
'Dear Uncle-If you could see
my shame while | write you would
pity me. Do you know why? Be
cause | have to ask you for 100
francs and know not how to express
my humble gratitude.

most obedient and affectionate
nephew, FASOLACCI."
F'P. S.-Overcome with shame for
what | have written, | have been
running after the messenger in or
der to take the letter from him, but
| could not catch up with him
Heaven grant that something may
happen to stop him or that this let
ter may be lost. F.
The uncle receives the letter, j.
touched by its contents, considers
and replies:

dence heard your prayer The mes

COUNTRY PASTOR READY TO DELIVER A
''SEED CORN SERMON.
[From snapshot taken before audience
was admitted
will not need to complain that the men
do not go to church. His visits to
the various families in the neighbor-
hood will be welcomed, and he will
speedily gain an influence that will
make him and the church he repre-
sents powerful factors for progress.
By cooperating with the teachers
the preacher can do much to help
along the educational work in 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
spent will not be lost, for he viii be
repaid by the cooperation of the other
leaders in the community in making
the church the moral leader Of the
people.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-11-29


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
result the singing in all the churches
is minus quantity, or nearly so. The
only good Sunday school superintend-
ent belongs to one denomination and
all the good teachers belong to anoth-
err AS a 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-
support When the money that might
support one strong chu~h 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. 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 it 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 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 to a
| pulpit in the city.
| 1t is little wonder that a 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

Building the
Cape Cod
* Canal. q

~ NE of the most interesting sur
gicaI oDerations since the world
began. in which not even sto-
vaine is used to ease the patient, IS
now being performed. and mariners
everywhere are discussing it. This is
the amputation of the right arm or
Massachusetts close to the shoulder.
which is to make the long talked OF
Cape Cod canal. and actual work ON
this immense project is now going for
ward at the rate of $50 cubic yards Of
earth an hour For years and years
this waterway has appeared to be
only dream. but at last August Bel
mont, the New York financtE, who is
promoting the plan. ordered out the
scalpeis. and the task has now actual
Iv begun to cut the eight mile strait
that is designed to transform the Cape
God region from the great maritime
graveyard of the world to safe and
profitable route for freight and pas
senger traffic.
From the earliest days the large
number of vessels engaged in carry
ing cargOes under sail and steam from
the New England states to the ATTAIN
tic coastwise trade have been buffeted
by gales. swept upon rock and reef,
and many stout ship has contributed
her all 70 the graveyard off the cape.
Early dreamers and workers looked to
the narrow neck that holds the arm
like cape between Barnstable and
BuZzards bay as means of saliva
ton. If that short neck of eight miles
could be cut, permitting ships to go
through instead of around the treach-
erous cape. they foresaw safety and
profit.
The list of vessels and lives lost off
the cape during the past twenty-four
years is an appalling one- From Oct
l, 1875. to July l. 1895. there were
1877 vessels lost 63 lives and property
with a value of S1615.245; from July,
1895, to Jan. 1. 1899. % vessels, 2T
