Georgie and Dot had ram- bled along the beach, squealing and kicking in the surf with a lot of other children, when there came a high pitched scream. Suddenly Isabelle saw something, just a swirl of tangled yellow hair, and the flash of an upturned face borne outward by the sea, and she slipped from the raft after it. Oh, but she was glad she was strong! She had never feared the water, and now she felt she could battle with it, and make it give her back what she loved. It was coming toward her, and she went under to find it with reaching arms. “Not my mneck, boy,” she gasped, as they gained the surface, the fright- ened boy clinging about her desperate- vestor must shoulder the musket' ;e ly. “I'll hold you all right.

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! and eificient service, and I all offer to the press a series of articles on co-operation l)etween" these important influences and; the farmers in the hope of in- creasing the efficiency of all by mutual understanding and or- tors and other useful things of the very highest quality.

The American farmer the greatest church builder the world has ever known. le is the cus- .todian of the nation’s morality ; upon his shoulders rests the “ark of thé covenant’ and he is more responsive to religious influences than any other class of citizen- ship. ; ¢ The farmers of this nation have built 120000 churches at a cost of $730,000,000, and the an- ‘nual contribution of the nation toward all church institutions approximates $200,000,000 per cannum.

The church to attain its fullest Blessed is that rural community |¢ which has but one place of wor-{g& 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 |g the life, and church prejudicei% 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 2 four churches in a community |4 which is not able to adequately | 5 support one. Small congrega- | & tions attend services once alé month and all fail to pvrfnrm‘.?, the relizious functions of lhe"f: community. The divicion of re-|¢ ligious forces and the breaking | § into fragments of moral effort, 2 is ofttimes little less than a ca- & lamity and defeats the very pur-|; pose they scek to promote.
