operated just as the sturdy pioneers Of own
early colonial days cooperated in the use of the
stockade-because they had to. And the trend
of the times to be that the farmers of today
cooperating and more for the same
reason-because they find they have to.
It's case of sef-preservation now as much as
it in Bible or early colonial times. The enemy
is not the same in the characteristic of be-
ing common enemy. Then the necessity was
military; now it is economic and social but it is
just as real.
And there those who have studied this ques-
ton deeply, who feel very certain that the time
will come when the American farmers will again
be gathered into farm villages, as the farmers OF
Germany have already gathered, under the pres
sure of economic necessity and as a part of a
broad program of cooperation.

Elijah who outwitted the brilliant and scheming
Queen Jezebel, went about preaching in his shep-

Elijah offered him job as his helper he was

The problems which confronted the people of
the Old Testament and the questions involved in
current legislation have just modern ring as
has the eminent and great. One of the problems
which they had solved and which We have not
was that of cooperation among farmers. Another
was the question or concentration in the owner
ship of land with its attendant evil the absentee
landlord.
You win not find the the subject of cooperation
discussed as such in the Old Testament, perhaps,
but you will find it put into practice.
So far can be learned there were isolated
farm houses where single families lived alone As
general thing, |, number of more or less related
families united in forming rural village. These
were not cities in any sense, even small towns,
but little hamets set in the midst of the fields and
hills. The country districts were dotted with
these tiny villages and we find constant reference
to them throughout the Old and New Testaments.
Every morning the men went out to the fields to
work and at night they came back to the village
for shelter.
The reason for this gathering into villages was
that the farmers were under the necessity of CO
operating against the attacks of enemies from the
