Begin at Jerusalem.” I have found social service in foreign countries doing much to promote Christianity abroad, but too often evangelism is thought the only need of the country churches at home. In Denmark a rural revolution has bean wrought out, and the Protest ant chairh there played a leading part la thia great drama, to its own infinite strengthening. Likewise in Ireland, under Sir Horace Plunkett, a rurarrevolutlon la in progress, and when I was there fonr years ago. 1 found the Catholic church growing stronger and stronger because the priest make* himself a leader in ev ery neighborhood effort for “better farming, better business, better liv ing.” No matter whether it was * creamery, a farmers’ marketing asso ciation. or a credit anion, I was like ly to be told that Father so-an-so had been a leader In whatever pro gressive movement we were consid ering. ‘Th same thing is true in Bel gium. Now in America we are also be ginning a great revolntion— a rev olution in farming practice, in farm business, in farm life. Will the church of America see and selre Its opportunity for leadership as did the church in Denmark, in Ireland and Belgium, and thereby strength en both itself and the people? * An affirmative answer requires consecrated, rural-minded, resident pastors, adequately supported—men who will not only preach the gospel on Sunday morning but help the community live the gospel every day in the week.

The sermons on in Illustrating the doctrine. “The strong should help the weak.” And yet what do we see today? 1q nearly every state provision is made where by ihe wealthier tountles and cities divide their school funds with the poorer rural districts. A minimum school tern Is provided. The school teacher in the remote mountain sec tion receives part of his salary from ♦ he state‘treasury, not as a matter of charity but as a matter of right Likewise I believe the time is com ing when churches in America will do ns the Huguenot churches in France, and require the wealthy churches to divide pastoral support with the weaker churches. As it Is today, how often does even the hoy who move* to town give any thing to support the old home church in the country? How often does the man who owns land in the ’•country realise that that ownership carries any obligation to help the church in that rommupity? I do not know just what plans should be developed, but I do be lieve that God today is calling to strong, wealthy churches and weak, struggling ones. “Bear ye one an other’ir burdens," and that in this call there is an almost unrivalled challenge to constructive Christian statesmanship.
