IS RURAL CHURCH
ON WAY TO DECAY?
It's Problems VIII Grow More
Acute, Says a Prominent
SOCiologist.

Is the rural church passing out OF
existence?
This is one Of Me questions raised
| by the study now being made by ex-
perts of the conditions facing Protest
ant churches in the country districts
OF the United States And, on the
basis of statistics already gathered,
the church leaders are uncertain as to
whether they are witnessing the grad
ual disappearance of the country
! church
One-Third Losing Ground.
Here is sample of the facts which
make them doubt the future of the
rural church. In So representative
| counties taken from different parts of
the United States. surveys showed
there were 1850 churches. Sixty
eight per cent of the churches in
towns were growing churches, 60 per
cent in the villages were growing,
while in the country only As per cent
seemed to be gaining OF the country
churches in the SO counties, 35 per
cent were losing ground, while II per
cent were dead and abandoned.
Country VIII Grow Less PopuIous.
The problem facing the rural church
IN America is likely to grow more
| acute because of the tendency of the
population to move into the towns.
! DR.. Warren H. Wilson, head of the
department Of rural sociology at Co
lumbia University, New York, and one
of the Interchurch experts, said In
Spokane recently:
Where there are most Americans,
fewest foreigners, and where the bulk
of the population is farmers, there we
| find the fewest members of Christian
churches There are abandoned
| churches in virtually every county in
the United States. =
Abandoned Churches Everywhere.
These abandoned churches are of
all denominations. The country
church In the United States Is i'll
equipped to meet the needs of its
community, and 1t is because Of this
similarity OF condition, affecting all
the churches regardless of denomina-
ton, that there is growing up Chris
tian public opinion as distinguished
from sectarian opinion. 1t is In re-
sponse to this demand that the Inter
church World Movement has come
into being. Some may think it strange
that the county Interchurch council is
to legislate, so to speak, for the Meth
| odist or the Presbyterian or other
| churches; but when the council, rep
resenting the Protestant opinion of
the county, sends a resolution to the
national board of a church, urging it
to follow a certain course in a local
community, it is going to be needed"

Causes Analysed.

Causes Analysed.
In analyZing the causes for this con-
dition the leaders in the Interchurch
World Movement place a large share
of the blame upon the churches. They
have neglected, particularly in rural
districts, to maintain ministers with
sufficient salaries to enable them to
devote their whole time to their
churches. They have allowed them
selves to become. through various cir
cumstances, disconnected from the
main current OF social life in their
communities.
But other important causes are the
shifting of population from the rural
districts to the towns, the advent OF
the motor car, which has influenced
the farmer and his family to spend
their Sundays in recreation instead Of
worship, and the formidable physical
conditions which the rural church in
this section of the country faces--a
scattered population, which it is diff
ficult to reach.
Funds Based on Exact Facts.
The surveys of counties in the In
land Empire, collecting exact facts so
that the churches may adapt their
activity to meet realities, are typical
of the whole method of the Inter
church World Movement. The pro
gram which it sets before itself is
based upon statistical data of this
sort. gathered from all over the world
and the appropriation which churches
make to solve religious problems
whether in Washington or Idaho, or
In China or India, are determined by
study of the scientific facts in the
| case.

the more than thirty cooperating dc
nominations expect to pledge in thr
financial campaign April 25 to May :
will be spent by the separate denor
nations TO meet these needs at home
| and abroad

and the other enthusiasts who have

to provide an opportunity for a few
% get exercise but actually to meet
the city's need and to meet IL with
facilities Just as high class as those
OF any private country club IN the na-
ton This high ideal has been pretty
well realized IN the matter OF tennis.
The courts in Potomac park are prob
ably as good as any clay courts in
the country. and have received the
approval OF champions. They are ex-
cellentiy drained and always kept in
absolutely first class condition. They
present a most pleasing contrast to
the typical public tennis court with
its ragged net. inadequate back stops.
and insufficient space behind the
back line.
IN the matter OF baseball and foot
ball, too, the local teams have been
taken care Of without much difficulty.
In fact the two great drawbacks 10
most public recreation grounds
crowded conditions and makeshift
faciiities-have been so far avoided
with remarkable success
The same principle is followed In
the golf course. About three hundred
applications have been received so
far. and it is believed that about $50
