exit RURAL CHURCH
PathoS in Abandonment of the
Country Meeting House.
Once Not Only a Place OF Worship
But Center Around Which the
Community's Social Organi-
cation Was Built.

Columbia, Mo.-The passing of the
country church is a potent cause Of
dissatisfaction that is helping to re-
duce the population of country dis
tricts.
F. b. Mumford, dean of the Missouri
Agricultural college, spoke of it as a
cause for people leaving the farms.
George B. Ellis, for ten years secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture,
says it is result rather than a
cause. Walter Williams says it is
both a cause and result of the loss
of farm population.
But the striking fact is that it is
going on. That the number of
churches in the country that have
been abandoned will reach into the
men, all three of whom have studied
conditions carefully and intelligently
for years.
One of the deacons of an abandoned
church was asked by fellow mem
Der of his denomination what this
change in church attendance meant.
I'll tell you," he said. 1T has
been my observation that religious
worship is not the only motive for go
ing to church. With some people |
have thought it was not the motive
at all. The social side has been a
factor. l have more than once heard
men start negotiations for home
trade at church services, after the
services were over OF course. The
women passed whatever news they
had back and forth among themselves,
and the young men got an opportun-
ity to talk to the girls after church.
The telephone in the homes of the
families who have most money has
made an end of any social use church
going served, and the poorer people
are not strong enough to maintain
the church"

Rlames the Sunday Schools.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-That the Sun
day schools are largely responsible
for the spread of contagious diseases
is the belief expressed by DR.. F. J.
Mann, medical inspector of the pub
lie schools of Poughkeepsie. The doc.
tor referred to present epidemic of
whooping cough and says he has
traced it to the Sunday school at
tached to one Of the wealthiest
churches. He adds that there are
many deaths from whooping cough
and declares that some measures
should be taken to protect the Sun
day school pupils.
1T is not the child in school that
dies of whooping cough says Doctor
Mann. ct is the baby at home that
dies. The same children barred from
the public schools because of conta-
gious diseases are permitted to go to
Sunday school. In most of the Sun
day schools the ventilation is much
poorer than in the public schools and
the diseases are thus quickly spread. "
