RURAL CHURCH AND HEALTH.

NO social agency is more earnest
in its demands upon the church for
cooperation than public health, and
no agency offers a greater return for
such cooperation says DR.. Ennion
w. williams, health commissioner of
Virginia. in a bulletin just issued by
the United States bureau of education.
Public health asks the church to
join hands with it in giving men bet
ter bodies, and it promises that when
mems bodies shall be stronger, their
spirits will be nobler. Public health
asks the church to assist it in making
sanitary the community to which the
church ministers; and it pledges the
experience of the world to show that
when this is done, none will benefit
more than the church. Other things
equal, the healthy man is the moral
man, and the sanitary community is
the spiritual community.
1.-The first means of cooperation ON
the part of the church is in preaching
the dignity of the human person, the
sanctity of the individual body. This
will enable the church to justify the
health officer in his demand for a
sanitary community indeed,
make that demand irresistibly logical.
]
deserves a sanitary surrounding and
depends upon it. The permanence of
our fight for better health must rest.
in part at least, upon an awakened
public conscience which will view dis
ease as second only to sin, cleanliness
IS next to goodness.
The church should, in a very prac-
teal way, illustrate the necessity OF
sanitation by being itself model of
sanitation. 1t should be well venti-
lated, we'll kept, supplied with proper
outhouses and with a safe supply of
drinking water. Many of our rural
churches fall far short of this. Clean
ed only when filth becomes unbear-
able. ventilated by chance or accident,
generally without any outhouses and
supplying water from rusty bucket
and dirty tin dipper, the church Of
tentimes is Il focus of infection. If
it is to stand as the eVangel of good
health it must be sanitary. If it is
to preach the gospel of fresh air, it
