A bald headed man is held up to ridicule by
his friends, whether rightly SO or not. His shin
ing dome IS compared with an ivory bali, with an
onion, with a skating rink. Even those men
whose hair Is falling out do not escape the gibes
of their associates, for the vision Of head de-
void Of natural covering Is constantly held before
them.
Here is . word Of comfort for those who be-
long In this afflicted class. They have consola-

Enterprising Cambridge City

- Cambridge City was the first city in Wayne
county to adopt the cluster light system in its
business district. Therein it was pioneer in the
community.
Now the editor of the newspaper printed
there is offering prize to the boy and girl who
clears the largest number of stones off the Ma
tional road in Wayne county between Nov. Is
and Dec. 26. The movement is good one. Why
not keep the main highway of Wayne county in
fine condition? Why not encourage children in
the advantages Of good roads and in their up
keep?
Enterprise is shown in another direction in
that community. The banks and trust compan-
les Of Cambridge City have deposits amounting
to $534,s5509. This is good showing for a
small community. half million dollars en-
trusted to the banks and trust companies shows
that residents of western Wayne county are
thrifty and believe in laying aside money for
future investments and to provide competence
for old age. 49,

Decadence Of Rural Churches

lone out of every nine country churches have
been abandoned in recent years. Only one-third
are increasing in membership and two-thirds
have either ceased growing or are dying. Eighty
three per cent have less than 100 members; q
per cent have less than Is; ~ per cent have be-
tween rs and so; and "a per cent have between
SO and 100. Only six per cent have individual
preachers, while 26 per cent share ministers with
another church; % per cent have one-third the
time Of a minister; q per cent have one-fourth
time; IA per cent have one-fifth time; per cent
have one-sixth time A large proportion Of
preachers receive about the same pay as a day
iaborer. Less than 40 per cent of the rural pop
ulation are church members"
These are some of the facts in the survey of
rural religious life in Ohio which will be dis
cussed at the national convention of the Commits
sion on Church and Country Life, in Columbus,
Ohio, next month Preliminary announcements
of the Commission say the Ohio survey Is the
most comprehensive and detailed ever under
taken in the United States.
Indiana has wrestled with the same problem.
Church life in the rural sections Of the state was
discussed at a conference held at Purdue not so
long ago. Results identical with those revealed
in the Ohio survey were found in Indiana, and
methods of combating the evil received the same
painstaking attention the national convention
intends to give the problem.
1t seems to be the opinion that country min
listers are out of touch with rural conditions, and
that as result farmers have gradually drifted
away from the churches, leaving the church
buildings as silent opponents of a religious life
that once thrived, but now has become dormant,
and in many instances parayzed.
The rehabilitation of country churches has
called forth scores of solutions. UNCONVENTIONAL
leaders differ as to the proper course. Concrete
means Of promoting community church work in
rural districts are summarized thus in the re-
port:
