FOR RURAL
CHURCH EFFICIENCY

There has in recent years been no
more gratifying or promising trend in
religious circles than the increased
emphasis which has come to be placed
upon the welfare of the country
churches Nor is there any prospect
that the agitation will stop short of
definite results for rural church well
fare? Within few years past large
country church literature has been
created, and the religious press is Civ.
ing much attention to the subject.
The South is still rural in charac-
ter, notwithstanding the remarkable
growth of cities. Omitting Maryland
and Missouri and including Oklahoma
and New Mexico, the figures from the
1910 census gives the South 80 per
cent. rural population and 20 per cent.
in towns of $500 or more Georgia,
notwithstanding its several cities, is
shown in the census as being only
2O,6 per cent. urban, while practically
so per cent. of her people live out
in the open or in small towns.
1t is characteristic of the country
that it makes and gives to the towns.
and of the towns that they take and
give very little back. Towns are built
to manufacture and distribute. Their
function is economic. They serve the
country communities as trade outlets
and inlets. On the other hand, the
country serves the city by affording
the raw material for trade, and also by
giving many of its best young men and
women to perform city tasks.
The country church is no exception
to the general relation of giving by
country to town. Many of the best
and strongest leaders in city pulpits
and pews were nurtured and trained
IN country churches. Some city
churches would gradually go to pieces
but for the continual influx of people
from rural places to renew the
strength Of the city organizations.
These rural churches, in the South
not less than IS per cent. of the whole
number of churches, are In the aggre-
gate the hope and foundation Of South.
ern religious prosperity. But by
pathetic anti-climax, the individual ri.
raj church Is in the eyes Of the big.
ness-hunting world too inconspicuous
to be noticed. The attention of the
world goes to the larger churches
when it goes to any.
The Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention has in
stituted a department to promote the
welfare of country churches. It is
called the Department of Enlistment
and Cooperation. Through the Home
Board, the Southern Baptist denomi-
nation, numbering 100000 member
ship, has set itself to the worthy task
of helping the country churches. which
have helped make every religious in
stitution in the South, but for which
until now there has been little aid
beyond an occasional piecing out of the
salary of missionary pastor.

Could the profits have been larger?
In considering the items of cost, fer
tilizer plays an important role, the
bill for that item alone amounting to
$2,036.56. Under general farm prac-
tees of live stock production and crop
rotation, this cost would be consider
ably less. Man labor is the largest
item of expense amounting to ST.
342.0S. With improved farm machin-
cry the labor cost on large farm
would be considerably less.
What has been particularly shown
on the railroad demonstration farm is
what the small, one-horse farmer can
do, and, of course, the large farmer
should not only do, but exceed If good
farm practices are applied.
The railroad is not only encouraging
by example the application of scientific
farming as to cereal production, but
is encouraging the use of pure bred
live stock by offering prizes of Per-
cherons, Short Horns, ETC., to corn
club prize winners.

Southern Baptists have discovered
that of their $4,000 churches 10000
are rural and more than $1,000 Of
these are open for preaching service
only once month, and are supplied
by absentee pastors. This condition
exists in Georgia. Hardly one in fifty
of these churches has pastors home.
No agency exists with potentialities
for inspiring the life Of a country
community equal to the. church. But.
this cannot be, unless the church is
awake and progressive. Once-a-month
preaching was too little for the age Of.

to help rural communities to find again

where the locomotive whistle is

is no better way to find the lost COM

country church should be concerned
in any and everything which makes for
the community welfare. Forever its
fundamental business is to win men
to Christ, but it has a community
function as well as an obligation to in
dividual souls.
The Home Mission board is sending
out special Field Workers, who work
in groups of associations. Their prime
business is to get churches to have
preaching at least twice a month to
get them to pay the pastor a living
salary and get him to locate where
he will give the people his life and
not only occasional sermons, to get ad'

SO confidently predicted by many,
would now be in full progress.
All British refiners buy and sell raw
sugar as well as refined and act at
times in the capacity Of merchants.
AS It Is, Great Britain, cut ON from
buying here, sought other markets
and has secured enough sugar else
where. This demand may continue
through the coming months to extent
of say $4,000 to 80, 600 tons per month,
but In the absence, of domestic de-
naand, this amount can be readily
spared without advancing prices.
What might have been q critical situa-
ton at this time and in October has
been beautifully solved by the policy
used under extraordinary war condf.
tons to protect our home interests.
Refinefs now are In position to
meet the foreign demand for refined
without detriment to the domestic m
