THE COUNTRY CHURCH
Should Serve Itself and Farmers by
Promoting Progressive Farming.

Just as no stream can possibly rise
higher than its source so no church
can make progress faster than its
people, says DR.. w. H. Mills, a we'll
known Presbyterian minister and pro-
fessor Of rural sociology at Clemson
College. The piety and spirituality Of
the church are in direct proportion to
the piety and spirituality in the homes
and in the lives of it's members. So
also, the intelligence and vigor which
the church shows in supporting the
work Of it's denomination, indicate the
average intelligence and financial abf-
ity Of the people Of its congregation.
A live prayer meeting shows that
some members pray at home; a grow
ing Sunday school shows that the
people are interested in the welfare
Of the children and the study of the
Bible. Small gifts to missions must
mean little interest In missions or
little ability to give
