By Peter Radford.
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.
