'THE RURAL CHURCH THE FARMERS THE CUSTODIANe OF THE NATION'S MORALITY. Co-operation of Church, School ano Press Essential to Community Building. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The church, the press and the school form a triple alliance of progress that guides the destiny of every commun ity, state and nation. Without them civilization would wither and die and through them life may attain its great. est blessing, power and knowledge. The farmers of this nation are greatly indebted to this social triumvirate for their uplifting influence, and on behalf of the American plowmen I want to thank those engaged in these high callings for their able and eficient service, and 1 shall offer to the press a series of articles on co-operatioij 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 shouldere rests the "ark of the covenant" and he is more responsive to religious in 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 Uni. ted States build 22 churches per day. There are 20,000,000 rural church com municants on the farm, and 64 per cent ot 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 reader 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 livee of the people in the community it serves; it must build character; devel. op thought and increase the emlciency 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 ny. 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 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 fulfill its mission to agriculture. We frequently have three or four churches in a community which is not able to adequately support one. Small congi-egations attend services once a month and all rail 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 Ithey seek to promete. The evils o1 too nmany churches can be mimlmizedl by co-operatlon The social and economic ilfe of a rural community are respective units and cannot be successfully dlividedo by de nominational lines, and the churches can only occupy this implortant fheld by co-operation and~ co-ordination. 'rho ellicient country church will definitely serve Its community by lead ing in all worthy efforts at community building, in uniting the peop~le 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 cnn only be successfully accompirhed .by the united effort of the press, the school, the church and organized farmers ('ough i3ledirine for 4 hildren.

ENGLAND REPLIES TO U. S. NOTE Answer, -widle in a Friendly Tone, not Entirely Saisfactory. Washington, Jan. 10.-Great Brit ain's prelininary reply to the protest of the United States against interrup tion of American commerce by the British fleet was made public here and in London tonight by mutual agreement between the State depart ment and the British foreign offlce. The British note concurs in the view of the United States that commerce between neutral nations should be in terfered with only when absolutely necessairy, and oficials here construed it as conceding that the principles ex presse( by the American protest were Just. Tlie onlyi' formal comment 'as this stateienitt issued by Secretary liryan: "Th'liis answer being prellininary and not intieided as a complete reply, we wiMl post pone comlillent until ti. ull answer is received." tii lyte lBritish reply, while - ceding le principles on whitich :ie Ainerie in contentions aire based, po. #s out diflieilties in actiual )nactice, . - fers to alleged fra tidlent pract ices by shippers and cites statistics showing an increase, rather than a decli ne in certain neutaCOl inerce, inl support of (Greal I1ritaina's suspicions that GC imany and Austria have been Indirect ly olbt ain:ng contraband through in tri'i Counlitries. Tlie note pronises, hiowever, th at. Great PI3ritain ill make redress wmlnevel' tie action of the BIritisli fleet may inintentionally ex ceed thle lim its of international law. Though ofilcials were reserved in their cominment, it was said authorita tively tontight that they regar(ded thie tone of tile note as entiire!3 friiendly and believe that further discussion, which will follow it, will be carried oil in ,tlie same vein. Th'le admission by Great Britain of ne of the chief points in the Ameiri can note-that the relations between neutrals were those of normal times of peace and not of war-was gratifying to officials, who believed the contro versy would now resolve itself into a frank discussion of what were the actual necessities which impel inter ruption by a belligerent when suspect Ing that the ultimate destination of a neutral cargo is belligerent territory. The statistics presented to show that American commerce with neutral countries contiguous to Germany and Austria had increased materially since the outbreak of the war were regard. ed here as misleading. It was point ed out that in view of the breakinF down of normal trade routes muan non-contraband products had beer shipped through 'eutral countries. As to the increase in shipments o copper to Italy it was pointed on that the Italian ambassador here al ready had explained that Italy, whic previously had obtained copper fron Germany and Austria now was force< to import from the United States be cause of the embargo on exportatioi which the belligerents themselves hat imposed. The American govei'nmen conitendsl, nmoreover', that if copper ha: reached belligerents through neutra countries, it is the duty of the Brit ish to make more effective arriange mnents wIth those neutral countries. Great Britain's admission that as tI food stuffs andl conditional contra band l,ord1 Salisbury's doctrine, quoited the American note, would be followet by3 the Bi'itishi and that foodstuff: wu~'tld be held up 01n13 when destine< to..an enemy, 'also was pleatsing t Americani oficials. 'Thei'e is every~ reason to believe tha the United States will not accep Great Bita in's viewu that car'goes mtia hie taken Iinto p)ort for extend~ed ex ainatin.
