COUNTRY CHURCHES NEED BETTER
SUPPORT
POUYANNA
COLYUM
Holding this eoncepbion of agri
cultural progress as we do, it is
natural that we give high, place to
the country preacher of the South.
In our whole rural civilization
there is no more important man
than he. And mush as he has been
able to do in the past, he ought to
be able to do much more in the
future.
There is an old story that when
John Wesley was preaching once
he thundered to his hearers: “I
eay, make all you can.’* “Amen!”
responded a thrifty and pious
church leader. “And I say, save
nil you can,” Wesley went on;
and again the old man roared
“Amon!’’ But Wesley ebntinned,
“And then I say give ail 3 r ou can”
—whereupon tho old man mutter
ed under his breath, “Thar nov,
ho has gone and mint it all!”
At the risk of having somebody
say we have “mint it all,” wo
wish to say in the outset that if
the country church and the coun
try preacher are to contribute
what they should to bo civilization
of tho South, they must be better
supported. We ought to be as
generous in improving ohurcli con
ditions as wo are in improving
school conditions. The one-teacher
school is no more out of date than
once-a-mouth preaching
In the matter of physical equip
ment and financial support, the
country preacher of the past has
too often had to make bricks with
out straw. This should now be the
case no longer. As we have increas
ed teachers’ salaries, so should w*e
increase preachers’ salaries. As we
have built larger, better, and more
beautiful school buildings, so
should we build larger, better and
more beautiful church buildings.

Minute Men Urged To Assure Public
j Continuous Soft Coal Supply in j !
Crises; New Official Snonsars Plan
JOHN C. BRYDON
The bituminous branch of the coal
industry, on which the, United
States Coal Commission is to report
in the autumn, has meanwhile taken
definite steps along the line of self
organization to serve the public in
emergencies.
John C. Brydon, who as chairman
of the special committee appointed
to cooperate with the President’s
commission has been in close touch
with the internal affairs of the in
dustry and with outside reactions,
was unanimously elected president
of the National Coal Association at
that body’s convention during the
latter part of June.
Mr. Brydon has advanced a plan
for “minute man” organization of
the 9,000 independent bituminous
operators, making the entire soft
coal supply of the nation instantly
available in any crisis of peace or
war. His suggestions, requiring
only an enabling act of Congress to
empower the President to declare an
emergency and draft coal resources,
were formulated in advance of sim
ilar recommendations by the coal
commission, affecting the anthra
cite branch of the industry.
“A committee from this body,”
Mr. Brydon told the men who elect
ed Mm thdr leader, “should consult
with the War atid Navy Depart
ments concerning their possible
emergency needs and also with the’
Interior and Commerce Depart
ments. _ We should hold ourselves
responsive to requests from'any of
the departments.
“This plan should include the per
sonnel, so that when an emergency
does arise they may go individually
and collectively to their pre-ar
ranged posts and begin to function.
This personnel may be changed
from time to time as circumstances
demand, but personnel can always;
be, and should always be provided.,
This plan should be so compre
hensive that it would not only apply ,
to the central organization at Gov-!
ernment headquarters but to the re
motest coal-producing districts in.
the United States. Such a plan,
when worked out to the last detail,,
with the informal approval, of the
Government and transportation,'
would need only ari act of Congress •
to legalize it at the time the emer-!
gency arises. Once accepted by the \
Government, it would irival any pre
vious unsolicited effort of an indus
try to serve the nation unselfishly
and be a virtual guarantee of reg*
ular soft coal supply at fair price!
