Is the rural church pulping? Are the days pf good, old fashioned re ligion y r thing of the past tv So it would seem from a report of. dent Kenyon L. Butterfield of/ ^ Massachusetts Agricultural College to’ the Commission on Church and Country Life. Butterfield 1 declares that the rural church must become a community institution and through its preacher and lay members pro mote the pauses of good roads, better farming, agricultural college exten sion courses, ^ temperance, public health, community beautification and planning, promotion coopera tion among farmers for buying, selling and recreation centers. Such radical change from a house where God is supposed to be worshiped t^ one where purely secular matteri are discused is bound to cause a wide spread opposition among the religi ous. Many students of religion daim that the decline of the country church began when pulpits were thrown open to politicians-when the local minis ter attempted to dictate political elec tions—when the church became a po litical forum. There is a sound basis for this claiip. Men. go to church to be told of God and spirit ual matters. They want to pray, to put their house in order, to hesitate in the mad rush for the ne cessities and luxuries of life to think of the future life. When this is de nied them, and, in its place, a minis ter' deliveres a political talk, urging them to vote for this candidate or for that cause in th£ name of religion, the religious man rightfully resents the assumed leadership of the preacher and, as a result, stays at home to comune with his God.

To like poetry.is not a duty, but it iaa misfortune not to do so. churches have ceased to grow and that 83 per cent have a membership of less than 100. To change the country church to a comunity house may result in much temporal benefit to the comunities in which the house maybe located, but what of the church. The anti-religious could find no better way to hasten the com plete disruption of the church. Tract No. 1.
