matter of fact ordinary commercial [| |{
principles do not move men in relig
ious activities. The mainspring of com
merce is gain. The mainspring of
church business is conscience and the
desire to do good. Most peple do more
wlien the need is thrust upon their at

Notwithstanding all this wealth in
religious plants, the average value of
church houses in local communities is
small, in rural districts perhaps $L-
Slie 400 is more than the average value
of the house which men dedicate to
the worship of God and to the service
of the deepest human needs. In fact,
far more communities are suffering
from niggardliness in equipping
churches with comfortable and ade
quate workshops for the Master than
are suffering from too much money
spent in vain architectural display.
It is also true that there are hun
dreds of communities in the South in
which there is no house of worship.
Equally startling is the demonstrated
fact that there are thousands of or
ganized churches which have no build

America has manifested an unpre
cedented ability to assimilate diverse
alien races. Nearly 40,000,000 of our
population are either immigrants or
ti e children of foreign born parents.
Not all of these, however, are really
assimilated or Americanized.
The historic problem of the South
has been the Negro. The problem is,
leal and great, fraught with even
more danger to the whites than to
the blacks, for the stronger race will
suffer more if it deals out injustice to
(lie weak race, than the weak will if
it must suffer injustice. If we deal
unjustly, with Negroes, our children
ill deal unjustly with one another.
There is no escape.
The religion of Jesus Christ and
not politics is the solvent of the race
problem. Christ has taught men the
one way in which we may touch weak
er groups than our own without being j
lowered to their level—tile way is by-j
helping and loving them.
Trying as is the Negro problem, j
there has been a compensation in it
for the South. The North lias in the
hordes of unassimilated, un-Americnn-
i;:ed aliens in her cities and factories,
a problem even more trying and dan
gerous than the Negro problem. The
Negro is good-natured and not venge
ful; not so with many of the Soutli-
European horde lately come to Amer
ica. Tile Negro race is separate'; the
European, however diverse from the
older groups from Northeast Europe,
which compose the American stock,
will intermarry with our people.'
America needs immigration to an ex
tent, but in the face of 1,400,000 aliens
who came in the last fiscal year, arid
as many more coming in the pres

function is economic. They serve the
country communities as trade outlets
and inlets. On the other hand, the
country serves the city by affording
the raw material for trade, and also by
giving many of its best young men and
women to perform city tasks.
Tlie country church is no exception
to the general relation of giving by
'country to town. Many of the best
and strongest leaders in city pulpits,
and yews were, nurtured and trained

from rural places to renew tho
strength of the city organizations.
These rural churches, in the South
not Iohs than, 85 per cent, of the whole
number of churches, are in the aggre
