There is but 01 ny* thing for our rural churches to d and that is: they must ho willing e pay for the Gospel, or at least gr the minister a living wage-whileH jindenvn^B to?imparl unto"- the ?iy- spiritual?fuud. ' The fUfal church' may have the same type anH place ich preacher as the city church has, only thoy ore willing to "disgorgi >n- or "cough up." It is imperative th er, our rural ehurchea do this for tl sta reasons," first, their own spiritual a< >en vancement and second, for the sal ng of their children, who when th< ad, Jfravc attended school somewhere, \v ?! crave for a leader to cowmensura ee with their teachings; and if the: ?r. r-young folks cannot find such hiade he a$ the head of the rural churcbc ia_'| they will soon leave the country ar j ga tot he cities where conditions, a its more >11 keeping tu llielt' ttlijltja til n - ideals. ich Third, The migration of the Npp: U- farmers has wrought havoc to qi he rural 'churches.
