THE RURAL
CHURCH
Co-operation of Church, School
and Press Essential to
Community Building.
By Peter Radford.
Lecturer Nath*ual Farmer*’ Union.
The church, the press and the
school form a tripple alliance of
progress that guides the destiny
of every community, state and
nation. Without them civiliza
tion would wither and die and
through them life may attain its
greatest blessing, power and
knowledge. The farmers of this
nation are greatly indebted to
this iccial triumvirate for its
uplifting influence, and on
half of the American plowmen
I want to thank those engaged
in these high callings for their
able and efficient service, and I
shall offer to the press a series of
articles on co-operation between
theae important influences and
the farmers in the hope of in
creasing the efficiency of all by
mutual understanding and or
ganized effort. We will take up
first, the rural church.
The Farmers Are Great Church
Builders.
The American farmer is the
greatest church builder the world
has ever known. He is the cus
todian of the nation’s morality;
upon his shoulders rests the "ark
of the covenant” and he is more
responsive to religious influences
than any other class of citizen
ship.
The farmers of this nation
have built 120.000 churches at a
cost of $750,000,000, and the an
nual contribution of the nation
toward all church institutions
approximates .S2< >0,000,000 per
annum. The fanners of the Unit
ed States build 22 churches per
day. There are 20,000.000 rural
church communicants on the
farm, and 54 per cent of the total
membership of all churches re
side 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 na
ture.
The Functions of a Rural
Church.
If the rural churches today are
going to render a service which
this age demands, there must be
co-operation between the reli
gious, social and economic life
of the community.
The church to attain its fullest
measure of success must enric li
the lives of the people in the
community it serves; it must
build character; develop thought
and increase the efficiency of
human life. It must serve the
social, business and intellectual,
as well as ti e 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 re
ligion, 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 wor
ship. While competition is the
life of trade, it is death to the
rural church and moral starvation
to the community. Petty secta
rianism is a scourge that blights
the life, and church prejudice
saps the vitality of many com
munities. An over-churched
community is a crime against
religion, a serious handicap to
society and a useless tax upon
agriculture.
While denominations, are es
sential and church pride com
mendable, the high teaching ot
universal Christianity must pre
vail if the rural church is to ful
fill its .mission to agriculture.
We frequently have three or
four churches m a community
which is not able to adequately
support one. Small congrega
tions attend services once a
month and all fail to perform
the religious functions of the
community. The division of re
ligious forces and the breaking
into fragments of moral effort
is ofttimes little less than a ca
lamity and defeats the very PUP
pose they seek (e prompt*

enough for his little paragon. “That”

RATION’S LABOR
PROBLEM
Over a million and a Half Wo
men Work as Farm Hands
in the United States.
•y Peter Radford
etiirpr Nation*] Farwr' Union.
Our goverment never faced so
tremendous a problem as that
now lying dormant at the doors
of Congress and the legislatures,
and which, when aroused, will
shake this nation from center to
circumference, and make civiliza
tion hide its face in shame. That
problem is- women in the field.
The last Federal census reports
shuw we now nave 1,514,0X1
women working in the field,
most of them south of the Ma
son and Dixon line. There were
approximately a million negro
slaves working in the fields when
liberated by the emancipation
proclamation. We have freed
our slaves and our women have
taken their places in bondage.
We have broken the shackles off
the negroes and welded them
upon our daughters.
The Chain-Gang of Civilization.
A million women in bondage
in the southern fields form the
chain-gang of civilization—the
industrial tragedy of the age.
There is no overseer quite so
cruel as that of unrestrained
greed, no whip that stings like
the lash of suborned destiny, and
no auctioneer’s block quite so
revolting as that of organized
avarice.
The president of the United
States was recently lauded by the
press, and very properly so, for
suggesting mediation between the
engineers and railroad managers
in adjusting their schedule of
time and pay. The engineers
threatened to strike if their wages
were not increased from approx
imately ten to eleven dollars per
day and service reduced from ten
to eight hours and a similar read
justment of the overtime sched
ule. Our women are working in
the field, many of them barefoot
ed, for less than 50 cents per
day, and their schedule is the ris
ing sun and the evening star, and
after the day’s work is over th*v
milk the cows, slop the hogs and
rock the baby to sleep. Is anyone
mediating over their problems,
and to whom shall they threaten
a strike?
Congress has listened approv- ]
iiglv to those who toil at the!
forge and behind the counter, and!
many of our statesmen have smiled
at the threats and have fanned j
the flame of unrest among indus-1
trial laborers. But women are as
surely the final victims of indus- j
dustrial warfare as they are the
burden-bearers in the war be
tween nations, and those who ar
bitrate and mediate the differ
ences between capital and labor
should, not forget that when the
expenses of any industry are un- j
necessarily increased, society j
foots the 'bill by drafting anew.

home to the field.
Pinch No Crumb From Women’s
Crust of Bread.
No financial award can be made
without someone footing the bill,:
and we commend to those whoj
accept the responsibility of the
distribution of industrial justice,
the still small voice of the woman
in the field as she pleads for
mercy, and we beg that they
pinch no crumb from her crust
of bread or put another patch up
on her ragged garments.
We beg that they listen to the
scream of horror from the eagle
on every American dollar that is
wrung from the brow of toiling
women and hear the Goddess of
Justice hiss at a verdict that in
creases the want of woman to
satisfy the greed of man.
The women behind the counter
and in the factory cry aloud for
sympathy and the press thunders
out in their defense and the pul
pit pleads for mercy, but how
about the woman in the field ?
Will not these powerful expon
ents of human rights turn their
talent, energy and influence to
her relief? Will the Goddess of
