Editorial Comment
Ills Of the Country Church
EST Paul Eispafch1

0CI. FdVI DISpatCHJ
In its shaded yard with its Sunday morning gatherings
OF young and old from surrounding farm and village
homes, the country church once was a staunch Ameri-
can institution. It has come upon m re difficult days.
The struggle for existence sometimes has gone one way
and sometimes the other. There have been mergers, as in
the business world.
The problem Of the country church was discussed re-
Gently before the Institute of Public Affairs at the Uni
vcrsity Of Virginia by DR.. Warren H. Wilson of New
York, As superintendent of the Presbyterian churchs
country life work. DR.. Wilson has been studying the sit
uaticn for 20 years. In his opinion, the decline of the
country church IS one result of persistent government dis
elimination against agricultural industry by the tariff
and other means. Manufacturing has been protected at
the expense Of farming until the farmers sons and help
ers have moved to the city. he asserted. The exodus
which the government has fostcrcd since the time of
Henry Clay.
The country church can not be expected to prosper if
the countryside does not. Depression in the agricultural
industry naturally has sociological consequences of a
deeply disturbing sort, affecting adversely even religious
institutions not thought to rest on material foundations.
