The Functions of a Rural
 Church.

If the rural churches today are going to render service which this age demands, there must be cooperation between the reli- gious. social and economic lie of the community.
 The church to attain it's fullest measure of success must enrich the lives of the people in the community it serves; It must build character; develop thought and increase the efficiency ot human life. It must serve the social. business and intellectual, as we'll as the spiritual and moral side of life. If religion does not make a man more capable, more useful and more just, what good is it? We want a practical re- lieion, one we can live by and farm by, as we'll as die by.
 Fewer and Potter Churches.
 Blessed is that rural community which has but one place of wor- ship. While competition is the life of trade, 1t is death to the rural church and moral starvation to the community. Petty seeta- rianism IS a scourge that blights the life, and church prejudice saps the vitality of many com munities. An over-churched community is crime against religion, serious handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture.
 While denominations are es- sential and church pride com mendable, the high teaching of universal christianity must pre- vail if the rural church is to full i'll its mission to agriculture.
 We frequently have three or four churches in a community which is not able to adequately support one Small congrega- tions attend servlces once month and all fail to perform the religious functions of the community The division of re- fgious forces and the breaking into fragments of moral effort IS ofttimes little less than a ca lamity and defeats the very pul- pose they seek to promote.

WORK OF FARM SCHOOLS.
Are Helping Boys and Girls to Build Up
 Homes and Farms.

OD6 or the most SLflKl0R I6dCufGS of the recent Profitable Farming campaign was the part being taken in it by the four District Agricul- tural schools. These farming men noG only got out and worked on the campaign themselves, but they en- listed the support of the men and women associated with them in the schools.
 No other state perhaps has such schools as these in Arkansas. They are called by those who know their work, The backbone of the State" Some yeas ago the farm CTS all over the state saw the need of such schools as these. and they made a successful fight to get them.
 The schools are located in the geographical center of each of the four sections of the state. There are no entrance requirements. If the boy or girl is fifteen years of age. he or she may attend any one of these schools at minimum cost The idea in founding these schools was to train the farmer boy to be a better farmer, and the farmer girl to be better home-maker. That was four years ago. Today the schools have over one thousand boys and girls, not only from Ar kansas, but from other states, who are training themselves, not to teach farming, but to go back to the farm home and make farming and home building a success.
 One of the reasons for the sue- cess of these schools is that each one is managed by .ocal board of five members. all of whom are farmers. Thus, the schools are run by farmers, are filled by farm CTS children, and the instructors are farmer men and farmer women. They are schools of the farmers. and by the farmers, and for the farms. The cost to the state per student was only 800 and this paid tuition. room, heat and light and all the incidentals except board. The board bill for each student for nine months was about $lOO and text book bill averaged only about $z 50 apiece.
 Some of the boys and girls are working their way through the schools, and the school now have applications for three thousand young men and women who want to work their way through. Of course all of these applications cannot be taken care of owing to lack of accommodation. The farmers who have supported the schools are working now to get more money to build more domito- ries to take care of the earnest young men and women who want to live on and build up the farms of the state.
 Theory has no part in the schools. Work is what counts The boys work in the fields and with the live stock, and in the shops. The girls work in the kitchen and the laundries and in the sewing rooms, and in the do- mestc art departments. They learn not only how to plan and take  care of a home, but how to make that home attractive.
 The man who marries ore of our farmer girls from the agricultural schools is a lucky man." says one of the most successful farmers in the state. The good these schools are doing cannot be esti- mated. The farmers who control them and whose boys and girls are being educated in them know that Arkansas is being made better and a richer state for this work"

The Farmers Are Great Churct
 Builders.

The American farmer is the greatest church builder the world has ever known. He Is the GUS todian of the nations morality; upon his shoulders rests the ark Of the covenant and he is more responsive to religious influences than any other class of citizen ship.
 The farmers of this nation have built 10000 churches at a cost of $z50,000,00o. and the an nual contribution of the nation toward all church institutions approximates S2000Q0,000 per annum. The farmers of the Unit ed States build P churches per day. There are 2O,O00,0OO rura church communicants on tht farm, and 54 per cent of the tota membership of all churches re side in the country. s The farm is the power-house of all progress and the birthplace of .ll that is noble.

SYNOD IN DISPUTE
OVER THE TRIAL OF
UNFROCKED PASTOR
Presbyterians, in Session at
Atlantic City, Thrown
Into Turmoil by Charge of
Unfairness.

ATLANTIC CITY, oct. 90.--The Rev.
John w. Rogan, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of Red Bank, threw the
Synod of New Jersey into turmoil today
by charging that "synodical politicians"
were taking shelter behind technlcalities
in order to deny a fair hearing to the
Rev. John c. Scarboro formerly in charge
of the Mission of Saint Matthew, who was
unfrocked by the judicial Commission of
the Presbytery of Monmouth.
The exact nature of the offense charged
against Scarboro, who is a Negro, did not
come before the Synod. but the Rev. Dr.
Rogan declared. in responding to the re-
port of the Synodical judicial Council
presented by the Rev. Henry Colin Min
ton, of Trenton, that he was not going
to allow the color line to stand in the
way of fair trial for the unfrocked
pastor.
The fight hinged upon the question of
whether or not Doctor Rogan, as counsel
for the deposed pastor, had filed an ap-
peal. Doctor Rogan said he had and
that it was filed with the clerk of the
Judicial Council of Monmouth Presbytery
"It should have been filed with the
Clerk of the Presbytery of Monmouth"
triumphantly replied DIR. Morrill, Ander-
son, of Morristown.
You're hiding behind technicalities,"
Doctor Rogan cried. and was called to
order by the moderator, the Rev. DR..
Tyack. of Hightstown. Your modera-
tor was a member of the judicial commits
sion in the case
Moderator Tyack promptly retired from
the chair, calling the Rev. John Nc
Dowell, of Newark, to take his place
Doctor Rogan was finally persuaded
that he should have filed an appeal with
the Presbytery clerk and promptly gave
notice that the case would he re-opened.
The charges against the Rev. Mr. Scar
boro," he said, "dd not involve immor-
atty but the writing of a letter said to
be of an improper nature"
