farmers wives out of their separate Individual exstences

THE LITTLE WHITE CHURCH

In an exceedingly interesting and timely article in
Golfers, Bruce Barton discusses the little white church,
and describes. concsely the development through which
it is passing. The illustrations which he gives furnish
specific and concrete evidence of the fact which is quite
generally recognized that the country church has suf-
fered deterioration largely through the influence Of an
over. Jealous denominationalism Little. churches are
striving. because several Of them exist where there is
only room for one. The result is small income, unneces-
sary fipahcial burdens of the members, and the employ
ment ofsneficient workers. Mr.. Barton points out forci-
bly, the need for a change il the beneficial influence Of
the little white church is to be retained, and he thinks
itsimperative that this influence be retained because, as
he says:
I'VE can't afford to lose the little white church. 1t
has been the breeding place of. thousands Of our finest
men snd women. It's influences have stretched out,
through. the lives of those men and women, into our
cities and made themselves felt for 9decency and virtue
and high business principles and unselfish living. We
can't afford to lose the priceless value Of that influence:
and yet we are losing it-losing 1t more rapidly every
year, as the figures prove" 81 gY 4
Continuing. M. Barton discusses.the influence OF the
war on religious thought and practice. and closes the
article ri follows:
