ICKENS, SOUTH CAROLINA THE RURAL CHURCH THE FARMERS THE CUSTODIANS OF THE NATION'S MORALITY. C.operatlon of Church, School and Press, Essential to Community Building. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers Union. The church, the press and the school form a triple alliamnee of progress that guides the destiny of every commun ity, state end nation. Without them cviuzation would wither and die and tbrough them life may attain its great est blessing, power and knowledge. The farmers of this nation are greatly Indetted to this social triumvirate for thefr:nplifing Influence, and on behalf of the American plowmen I want to thank those engaged In these high camntn for their able and efficient service,.and I shall offer to the press a sviles oT aiticles on co-operation between these impurtant Influences and the .fhriners In the hope of In creasing the efflcincy of all by mu tual undergtidhir and brganized ef foit. We will take up, fIrst. the rural dhurch. The Farmers Are Great Chur'ch Build ers. The.American farmer is the greatest church builder the world has ever known. He is the custodian of the natioli's morality; upon his shoulders rests the "ark of the covenant" and he is more responsive to religious in fluences than any other class of cit zenship. The farmers of this nation have built 120,000 churches at a cost of $750,00,000, and the annual contribu tion of the naion toward all church institutions appr-imates $200,000,000 per m um. The -armers of the Uni ted States build 22 churches per day. There &re'20,000,000 rural church com muniumits on the farm, and 54 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 meas ure of success must enrich the lives of the people In the community It serves'; It must btuild character, devel op thought and increase the efficiency. of human life. It must serve the so cial, business and Intellectual, as well as the spiritnal 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 the church preju dice saps the vitality, of many com munities. An over-churched commlzn 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 fulfill Its mission to agriculture. -We frequently have three or four churches in a community which is not able 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 efforts is ofttimes 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 load 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 sohool, the church and organized farmero -Deafness Cannot Be Cured~ by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infilmrn d condi tion of the mucous lining of t:o Lusta chian Tube.
