The Church
Serves the
C om m u n ity
(Following is the second of a se­
ries of articles prepared by local
ministers and church leaders as a
part of the lenten program of the
churches of the county;)
THROUGH RELIGIOUS
EDUCATION
our Christian heritage, an under­
standing of the Bible, the personal­
ity and teachings of Jesus, the lives
of great men who have followed
Him and to apply this to our pres­
ent day life. It strives to give to us
a sense of our dependence on God
to make better citizens of all, to
give our children and all of us, high­
er personal standards of life, and a
willingness to sacrifice personal
pleasures for the good of others.
The training in loyalty, leadership,
service,
honesty and reverence,
helps to develop growing Christians
and a more Christian community.
These Religious Educational agen­
cies of the church seek to help per­
sons, young and old alike, to think
through critically the life situations
and problems which we face as in­
dividuals and groups. In a world
whose standards are very much con­
fused, it teaches us to interpret life
in the light of Jesus’ spirit and
teachings and to learn to act in the
most Christian way.
The extent to which Christian ideals
are put into actual practice in per­
sonal living and as citizens of the
world, is, of course, the final test
of the Religious Educational pro­
gram. Churches today are seeking
through better trained teachers,
better equipment, and better teach­
ing methods to help all ages in more
practical application of the Christian
ideal in life. The “ old time” Sun­
day School methods of “ pouring in”
stories and precepts and expecting
perfect Christian conduct to result
is not adequate in such a confused
world as our today. (Religious Edu­
cation has developed along lines of
up-to-date personal application to
life’s problems and current methods
of teaching.) Daily vacation Bible
school and week day Bible school
have an important place in augment­
ing and supplimenting the Sunday
School. These offer a better setting
for a more practical life application
and more time for real Christian
study not possible in the Sunday
School hour.
The church, then, makes a distinc­
tive contribution to the life of the
community that, no other agency is
doing or is equipped to do. The im­
portance and value of this work can­
not be measured by physical or ma­
terial standards. It is a work in­
deed worthy of our time, anr ener­
gy and full support.

Religious Education is one of the
main functions of the church. That
the church realizes the tremendous
importance of this task is shown by
the great amount of time and ener­
gy, and the number of organizations
devoted to accomplishing it, a far
greater proportion than is given to
any other phase o f the church pro­
gram.
The aim of Religious Education is
the development of persons of all

Well, well, farmers, how do you
like the new farm control bill? How
do you like to have administration
agents,
advisors,
superintendents
and overlords, each having a secre­
tary, coming to call on you, telling
you what to plant, how much not to
plant, what you must pay your help
and so on? And that isn’t all; sooner
or later you will pay all these people
who control you, in added taxes.
They must have a job you know.
Be sure the cow, or horse, or hogs,
or chickens do not get on the land
not cultivated i>r eat any of the crop
you have raised, or another agent
will camp on your farm and watch
you day and night. You might have
to feed and lodge him. They do in
Germany. The government fixes
prices for you too. If you don’t be­
lieve it, get a copy of the law. It
will be good reading anyway. If
that is too much trouble, read the
article by Villard in the Sunday Ore­
gonian, February 13. Now all of this
is done to keep the production down
to the level of consumption. Would
it not be much better to give the
hungry and ragged better jobs at
good wages, that they might buy all
you farmers produce and be able to
pay you decent prices? Can’t you
see it is the huge lack of buying
power in the common people is the
reason you are having such a strug­
gle?
You say the Townsend Plan is not
practical. It won’ t work. How about
the plans and experiments that have
been tried? Have they worked? More
people out of work than last year
and more suffering and fear every­
where. What will happen if this con­
dition continues? Where are we
drifting? I shudder when I think of
this terrible condition and the silly
proposals to help. You who oppose
the Plan, come out to hear our next
speaker.
