Columbus, O., Dec. 9.—To make the rural church in America not only the religious but the social, commercial and agricultural center for the farm- er and his wife and children, is the object of a conference here today be- tween- Gifford Pinchot, agricultural educators, churchmen, farmers and others meeting with the Federal Council of Churches and the Nation- al Commission and Rural life. Presi- dent Wilson is expected to address the convention tomorrow, the last day, " |discussing his ideas of rural credits, ome of the big questions with which congress is expected to deal this year. Gifford Pinchot, who is chairman of the commission, in his address be- fore the conference today, said in part: “I believe we stand today on the threshold of a great movement which will bring back to the church in the country and smaller towns the great- er power for the Grange or the agri- _—_—— cultural school, but I believe the failure of the country . churches; through their ministers, to get into productive touch' with the work and needs of the country people is one of the fundamental reasons for the present weakness of the country church. Good farms, good roads, good schools are necessary to the success of churches and active churches should assist powerfully in securing such material improvements: ““We are here to advocate the weak- ening or strengthening of any one denomination at the expemse of an- other; nor have we any theory to ex- ploit or any ax to grind. We merely seek the truth about conditions, to- gether with remedies that are both wise and practicable.” Ohio is Selected. Ohio has been selected as a fleld for the first intensive rural church reform campaign. A survey by the state shows ‘that 800 of the 5,000 Ohio country churches have been abandoned, one third are growing, while two thirds have ceased to grow or are dying. Eighty three percent of them have a membership of less than 100 each. Only six percent have individual preachers, the others hav- ing from one-half to one-sixth of some minister’s time. The plan is to combine the strength of these country churches and estab- lish at the logical points, community churches which, in addition to being houses of worship on Sunday, will be &2rvd. Co. expected to be active .in prnmb;ing good roads, scientific farming, pub- lic health and sanitation, temperance, public recreation, community beauti- fication, better schools, library orga- nization and other things of that sort. ¢ this vast movement that the average country miaister is underpaid and of- ten needs wider practical experience and training.
