~ HE country church has 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-
tons In the country this Is not the
case One church is enough for any
country community, and II 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 promoter of strife
A spirit of friendly rivalry has devel-
oped many times into bitter fight be-
tween denominations When churches

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

Tn. Need Of Road Specialists.

After years of investigation the Of
fee of public reads has come to the
conclusion that the chief cause of bad
roads in this country. first. extreme
loca1ization Of road administration;
secondly. the payment of road taxes in
labor. and. thirdly. lack of skilled su-
pervision
These are days Of specialists. We
do not have our houses built by the
doctor or call carpenter to treat us
for pneumonia. We think schoOlteach-
ers should be required to take exam

and naval schools to teach military
discipline. We believe in the civil serv-
ice and competency for civil employ
ees. We require skill and experience

dcayor. Why not. then. insist that our

THE COUNTRY CHURCH IS FACING 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 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 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 large share of his time
travelling. and his only influence IL
the community is that which he ex
erts from the pulpit on Sunday !
instead Of giving one preacher three
churches in different towns he wer'
given the three in the same town. IL
would have more time to give to hi
people.
In essentials the different churche
have the same belief. Rural peopl
want the plain. simple religion o.
Jesus Christ. They have no time t
split hairs over fancied differences Q
creed Few Of them know the cree,
of the church to which they belon
or whether it has a creed or not TIL
Bible is creed enough for them.
The increased financial support whic
the consolidated church receive
means a better building, better light:
more money for the Sunday schoe
and, above all. better preacher
