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 social triumvirate for its uplifting influence, and on be half of the American plowmen I want to thank those engaged in these high callings for their •ble »"d efficient service, and I shall ,er to the press a series ol articles on co-operation between these important irfluences 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 UO.OOO churches at a cost of $750,000,000, and the an nual contribution of the nation toward all church institutions approximates $200,000,000 per annum. The farmers 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 Church. If the rural churches today are Sling to render a service which is 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 enrich the lives of the people in the community it serves; it must build character; develop thought end increase the efficiency of human life. It must serve the social, 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 ft? 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 ha* 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 of universal Christianity must pre vail if the rural church is to ful fill its .mission to agriculture. We frequently have three oi four churches in a community which is not able to adequately support one. Small congrega tions attend services once s 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 ofttime# little less than a ca lamity and defeats the very pur pose they seek to promote. BRILLIANT RECEPTION AT PIEDMONT CLUB. ATLANTA. Auguata friend* have received cards of invltatiun from Mrs. Charles Alfred Davis and Mrs. Richard Orate Comp lied of Atlanta for a reception at Pied mont Driving club on December 4, at which they will present their daugh ter*.

Society CHRISTMAB MORNING IN EUROPE. Have you realized what a sad, lone ly, empty Christmas morning thera will be In thousands and thousands of homes In B< Igiurn, England, France, Russia, Servla, Germany and Aus tria? Vacant chairs will tell, with grim pathos, of the husband, the father, the son, or the brother, who went bravely out to the field of battle for the coun try that he loved—and never returned. The wounded lying on beds of pain. or weakened, worn, and wrecked by shot and shell, that make life a burden and lahor Impossible, will be mute memor ials of the awful night of war. Today, in the heat of conflict, despite our earnest effort to be Impartial, our Judgment, our nationality, our preju dices and our interests, make It hard for us to b< rigidly neutral. But in the glow of the approach of the great est anniversary In the world, Christ mas Day, the day of "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,” set apart for all the nations and all peoples, let the fine neutrality of the soul swepp away all human prejudice and make us realize that all these fighting men of the seven nations are equally our brothers, brothers In the divine Broth erhood of our common humanity. I.et us do at leaat for the children what we can to make them happy, the Innocent, suffering, little non-com batants in this greatest war of tn» ages. What can you, as an individual, do to help? The War Children's Christmas Fund has been organized to send Christmas boxes to the orphaned and helpless children of Europe. Each child's gifts will be put into a separate little paste board box, carefully wrapped and dec orated with a bit of ribbon and a bit of holly to give it a real Christmassy flavor. Each box will contain some useful little article of wearing apparel, a Christmas card, a fe,w pennies In the coin of the country, and a handful of candies, raisins and nuts. Each box will bear a printed laLel, iri the lan, gunge of the country to which it is delivered, stating that the box Is a Christmas box sent with best Christ mas wishes and "with love of the chil dren of America ” Such an expression of international peace and good-will cannot fail to do good far beyond the mere gladdening of the children; It will tend to lessen the burden of the older ones In seeing the Joy of the little ones and In the consciousness of loving hearts sympa thizing with them in their hour of sorrow beyond the seas. The final dlatribution of the boxes will be entrusted to the care of gen ous-hearted men and women on the other side, ready and anxious to do their part. It Is estimated that about fifty cents will he expended on each box, though the Fund, through its wholesale buying on best terms, may be fortunate enough to reduce this amount a lit tle. A whole day of happiness In a child's life—and a golden memory that will live throughout the years—all for 59 cents. Mow many children do you thus want to make happy? If you can af ford SIOO. glvct that and know that two hundred children will thereby be Messed with a Joyous day. Whatever he the amount, give it; give it prompt ly. too. for the time Is short. If it Is only fifty cents, give that—with the fullness of, your heart behind It. Seek to get the children to contribute, per sonally, oven at a sacrifice that will make their gifts bigger, finer and sweeter. No other investment can yield such dividends dividends'of happiness paid In two Continents, simultaneously— on Christmas morning. WILLIAM GE( iRGE JORDAN.
