Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The church, the press and the school form a triple alliance of progress that guides the deBtlny of every commun-1 ity, state and nation. Without them civilization would wither and die and through them life may attain Its great-1 est blessing, power and knowledge. , The farmers of this nation are greatly . Indebted to this social triumvirate tor ; their uplifting Influence, and on behalf j of the American plowman I want to thank those engaged in these high 1 callings for their able and efficient service, and I shall offer to the press j a series of articles on co-operation ' between these important influences : and the farmers in the hope of in- creasing the efficiency of all by mu tual understanding and organized ef fort. We will take up first the rural church. The Farmers Are Great Church Build era. The American farmer is the greatest church builder the world has ever known. He is the custodian of the nation's morality; upon his shoulders rests the "ark of the covenant" and be is more responsive to religious in- i fluences than any other class of cit izenship. The farmers of this nation have built 120,000 churches at a cost of (750,000,000, and the annual contribu tion of the nation toward all church institutions approximates $200,000,000 per annum. The farmers of the Unit ed States build 22 churches per day. There are 20,000,000 rural church com municants on the farm, and 64 per cent of the total membership of all churches reside In the country. The farm Is the power-house of all progress and the birthplace of all that is noble. The Garden of Eden was In the country and the man who would get close to God must first get close to nature. The Functions of a Rural Church. If the rural churches today are go ing to render a service which this age demands, there must be co-operation between the religious, social and eco nomic life of the community. The church to attain its fullest mea sure of success must enrich the lives of the people in - the community It serves; it must build character; devel op thought and increase the efficiency of human life. It must serve the so cial, business and intellectual, as well as the spiritual and moral side of life. If religion does not make a man more capable, more useful and more just, what good is it? We want a practical religion, one we can live by and farm by, as well as die by. Fewer and Better Churches. Blessed is that rural community which has but one place of worship. While competition is the life of trade, It Is death to the rural church and moral starvation to the community. Petty sectarianism Is a scourge that blights the life, and church preju dice saps the vitality of many com munities. An over-churched commun ity is a crime against religion, a seri ous handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture. While denominations are essential and church pride commendable, the high teaching of universal Christianity must prevail if the rural church is to ulfill its mission to agriculture. We frequently have three or four churches in a community which Is not abla to adequately support one. Small congregations attend services once a month and all fail to perform the re ligious functions of the community. The division of religious forces and the breaking into fragments of moral effort Is ofttimee little less than a calamity and defeats the very purpose they seek to promote. The evils of too many churches can be minimized by co-operation. The social and economic life of a rural community are respective units and cannot be successfully divided by de nominational lines, and the churches can only occupy this important field by co-operation and co-ordination, The efficient country church will definitely serve Its community by lead ing in all worthy efforts at community building, in uniting the people In all co-operative endeavors for the gen eral welfare of the community and In arousing a real love for country life and loyalty to the country home and these results can only be successfully accomplished by the united effort of the press, the school, the church and organized farmers. -AT- Walla Walla, Washington NOVEMBER 25-28, 1914 1 nnfin Eanol line Corn w ever crown in I II II rill low., Miuouri or Nebraika, will be on competitive exhibition.
