EXIT RURAL CHURCH
Pathos in Abandonment of the
Country Meeting House.
Once Not Only q Place OF Worship
But Center Around Which the
Community's Social Organi-
zatlon Was Built.

Columbia, Mo.-The passing of the
country church is 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 1t as
cause for people leaving the farms.
George B. Ellis, for ten years secre-
taryeof the state board Of agriculture,
says 1t is result rather thak a
cause. Walter Williams says 1t is
both a cause and result Of the loss
of farm population.
But the striking fact Is that 1t Is
going on. That the number OF
churches In the country that have
been abandoned will reach into the
hundreds is the declaration Of these
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. / have more than once heard
men start negotiations for a 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.
To men who spent their early lives
in the country there is no one phase
of this gradual reduction of country
population that is more pathetic than
the abandonment of the country

BIames 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. r..
Mann, medical inspector of the pub
lie schools of PoughkeepsiH. The doc
tor referred to a present epidemic of
whooping cough and says he has
traced 1t 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 wEooping cough, says Doctor
Mann. 1T 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 Sum
day schools the ventilation is much
poorer than in the public schools and
the diseases are thus quickly spread.

the west when the Sunday school in
the country schoolhouse grew big
enough the people would arrange for
preaching and then a little church
would FORM All over the west a
quarter of a century ago or more
these little organizations were busy
putting the white frame buildings on
convenient farm corners in the neigh

villages That meeting house"
served really as meeting house" as
we'll as a house of worship. It was
the center around which the social
organization of the community was
built. IL fixed standards for the
young men and the young women of
the community. Half the courtships
of the country people Of the now out
going generation began in these coun-
try meeting houses" The marriages
were often solemnized there. In

is practiced the children were brought

rear of every country church the
graves accumulated. The intimate
association of the country church was
second only to the family relation it
self.
Whatever social or economic condi-
lions may have decreed its decay
there is unmistakable evidence that
in the older counties of this state
the country church is of less i'm
portance today than ten years ago.
The bare fact that in one county it is
possible to name ten churches that
have been wholly or partly abandoned
In the last ten years Is matter of
no small importance to the commun-
tiles involved or to the state as a
whole.
