Survey of Rural Community
Conditions.

A great forward movement IS on among
the religious organizations OF America.
In December 1918 the Interchurch World
Movement of North America was organ
lied by leaders of many of the denOmlna~
tions in this country and Canada, Its
first task was to find the facts concern
ing moral and religious conditions IN this
country and abroad, wherever American
churches are at work. It is an attempt
to see the whole undertaking that IS be-
fore the church and to meet II unltedly
so far as that's possible. This IS not an
attempt to bring about union, but lar
ger cooperation.
In America the work is to be done IN
two divisions, rural and urban. While
surveys have been carried on before IN
certain localities no such thoroughgoing
and extended inventory has ever been
taken 1t is the aim of the movement
that every county in the country shall be
mapped, showing every community eV~
cry church with its parish, every school
where religious or social work is being
carried on, and every circuit A careful
study of the community and the church,
from the moral, economic aud social
points of view is also being made,
The supervisor of the rural survey of
the State of Maine is J. Harrison Thomp-
son, whose office is in Wateryllle. Work
ers have been secured in every county
and most of them are at work. At pres
ent MIR Thompson is at work N Waldo
County where he hops with the help OF
local leaders and surveyors to complete
the survey by the middle of October
