moral starvation to the community.
Petty sectarianism Is a scourge that
blights the life, and the church preju.
dice saps the vitality, of many COM
munities. An over-chuTched commun-
ity Ia a crime against religion, a seri-
u handicap to society and a useless
tax upon agriculture.
While denominations are essential
and church pride commendable, the
high teaching of universal Christianity
must prevail II the rural church is to
fulfill Its mission to agriculture.
We frequently have three or four
churches In a community which Is not
able to adequately support one. Small
congregations attend services once a
month and all fail to perform the re-
iigious functions of the community.
The division Of religious forces and
the breaking into fragments Of moral
efforts is ofttimes little less than a
calamity and defeats the very purpose
thsy seek to promote,
The evils OF too many churches can
be minimized by cooperation The
social and economic life of a rural
community are respective units and
cannot be successfully divided by de-
pominational lines, and the churches

Cooperation of Church, School and
Press Essential to Community

BY Peter Radford

Lecturer National + arHerS Union.
The church, the press and the school
form a triple alliance OF progress that
guides the destiny of every commun.
ity, state and nation. Without them
civilization would wither and die and
through them life may attain its great.
est blessing, power and knowledge.
The farmers of this nation are greatly
indebted to this social triumyirate for
their uplifting influence, and on behalf
of the American ploWmen / want to
thank those engaged in these high
caliings for their able and efficient
service, and | shall offer to the press
a series of articles On cooperation
between these important influences
and the farmers in the hope of in.
creasing the efficiency of all by mu.
tual understanding and organized eff

he is more responsive to religious in

tzenship,
The farmers of this nation have
built 100000 churches at a cost of
$4,000 0 600, and the annual contribu-
ton OF the nation toward all church
institutions approximates 5000, 600, 000
per annum. The farmers of the Uni
ted States build 22 churches per day.
There are 20,000;000 rural church COM
municants on the farm, and "a per
cent Of the total membership of all
churches reside in the country.
The farm is the power-house OF all
progress and the birthplace of all that
is noble, The Garden of Eden was
in the country and the man who would
get close to God must first get close
to nature
The Functions of a Rural Church.
If the rural churches today are 60
ing to render a service which this age
demands, there must be cooperation
between the religious, social and eco
nomic life of the community.

If religion does not make a man

No children were born to Adam and Eve in Eden. They Ia
came. Doubtless he was birth marked with a jealous, unhappy
disposition. Toll conduced to fretfulness in those who knew a
happier lot in Eden. Faultfnding with each other, resentment
against the Creator, discomfort with their lot, probably marked
their ofspring-Cain. The world has since been under a reign
of Sin and Death"
Daughters also were born to them, and later another son,
Abel, of a very different disposition from their frstborn. The
experience of life may have mellowed their hearts. They re-
membered an intimation Of hope connected with their sentence;
namely, that the Seed of the woman should bruise the serpents
head. AbeIs disposition indicates that he had a contrite heart,
and desired to please God. If parents realized to what extent
mental conditions affect their offspring. all would strive to be.
stow favorable birthtraits on their children.
Years passed. Cain and Abel were inspired by the promise
respecting the Seed of the woman, and the hope for recovery by
Divine favor. They approached the Lord with offerings to re-
because it typihed the necessity for Jesus death as the basis
for forgiveness of sin. Gods rejection Of Gains offering teaches
that without shedding of blood there can be no remission of
sins. Cain should have procured an animal for acceptable sac
rihce, In obedience to the Divine will. Instead, he allowed
anger, malice, hatred, and strife to burn in his heart, and be-
came a murderer.-Genesis 4:5S.
st. Paul says that Abels blood cried to God for justice
against Cain. But Jesus blood cried to God for mercy on the
sinner. Every injustice cries to God for justice. BY a special
covenant, Jesus and His Elect Church lay down their lives sac
rifciary for Adam and his race. (Romans 121J The better
sacrifices" completed, Restitution follows.
