Passing on te the basic dlaims ef the rural church te a place et boor hie said: Broadly speaking here isi the churccitoe 32,000,000 people liv-1 ing on tarma and 20,000,000 in vit- lages-flfty odd millions et peaple (in the United States) workcrs in dirty soit or smalt shopkcepcrs ai- meat forgotten.

Such as they are, an they are; and human nature as it is, se it must bie deait with. We are skipping considerable por- tiens et Dr. Galpîn's addrcss, but here hoe gets into the hcart et bis subject. He says: Attempt.ing tel put into werds the social role which1 farm folk play in the nation, I bhait say littie or nothing about.the crop-1 grewing tunction, but rather try te get at what thejse people, whatever t1neir race or nation, in and et them- selves mean te the perpetuaticit ef aur cities; what their institutions1 mean to ttational lite; and what1 claint in fine tho'.ç folk have t) a1 centrai place in the policies of the nation anti et the Church in part ic-i utar, at the' start off 1 venture te make the positive statement that theI tarmer ila the ntanstay et the Ameh~-j can tamiy.

S. titere are 4,000,- 000 mtore children-under 21 yeara of age.-than are in the anme city population. Hait the people on1 farms are chitlrett. The country is the place for children--the habitat of chitd itc-and the city et grown- c ps. This condition has great sig-i nificancce.

We have recentty been reading, re-read- ing and reading again in an endeavox to grasp fuily the views of the auth- or of an address on the Church and the Farm that contains some original and unique angles of thought which we have found intensely interesting, hence have decided to pre.sent some of these viewpoints to our readers if we can condense the address into a length c-uited to the space allotted to these weekty talks. We may say at the outset that this address was delivered by Dr. C. J. Galpin of the Department of Agri- culture, Washington, D. C., before the International Association of Ag- ricultural Missions at their dinner a short time ago and was considered Io important that The New York Christian Work, the splendid reiig- mous weekiy review, pubtished it in fuît on January 3Oth, with very fav- orable introduction and comment by the editors. This is another in- stance in which our vision is greatty broadened by the address of a man who has given much thought to an important subject wit4l which he is quite famitiar and has a hopefut eut- look for its future if peopte will heartily co-operate in the endeavor being made te promote the schemne. At the outset Dr. Galpin says in effect that agricutturat missions abroad wiit have a hard row to hoe se long as city folk look with apath- etic unconcern upon the life, tabor and religieus vicissitudes of those tvbo tilt the soul, and then adds. If the farmer and the rural church can take a place in the thought, af- fection and strategy of this Chrisztian country-a place which is justified by their social and retigious import- ance te the nation-agricutturat missions wiIt go for-ward iy eaps and bounds. This is the angle, Dr. Gatpin says, from wthich I desire te restate the claiîn.s of the rural church to a place of honor in Christendom, and to suggest, with modcsty, if possible, your part and mine in the things which must be donc te restore he rural church te a place of honor. We pause at bhiis point te intŽr-1 ect a sentence or two.

The rcity family, much as we may deptore ethe fact, bas long ceased te be the -type family. The farm home is rholding the family idea in the nation, -almost at the first basic reason why 1rural lite has national social signi. 1ficance, why the farmer bas a :ote iof honor in our Christendom. Look at the other basic claim te honor. It is this: Young farm adults in a steady streafi recruit city life and industry. Just be- cause the farmn is the place of child- ren it cornes te have more people on it than the farming conimunity can use. Four mitliôns more child- ren on U. S. tarms than in an equiv- atent population living in cities >means an excess population-an ex- cess that would make a smali nation. The farms wilt manage te feed this excess et persons, clothe them, edu- cate them, when, possessed of vite strong right arm, they wilt turn their backs on the farm and farming and go te recruit the nerve-fagged in- dustry of cities. The tamnis teed the cities with muscle, intellect, im- agination, possible conscience and possible religion. This is the romance of the story and there is not a word in it of wheat, cern, cotton, horses, cattle ,sheep, hogs or poultry. (Carry the main idea of this para- graph into the next one).. THE C. S. E. T. BOYS' COLUMN Canadian Standard Efficiency Train- By this time you musât havE caught *the idea. Att the caretul studies et this particular situation convincingly show that, up te the present, people from the firms help mightily te weave the fabrir etf the city and its institutions as we !znow themn in every day tife. In past de- cades when rural churches were strong, the streamiets of young people trom rural churches te the city churches were mighty with force and personatity. The rugged rpti. gious conviction bred on the farms came in to float the city churches te great religieus goals ef achievemnerit. The next pîcture n)resents a Most regrettably truc condition in far ttoo many rural communities. Dr. Gai. pin reluctantly states that the pres. cnt decade is a far different one. The rural church, in many instances, has been ground te powder between up- per and nether milestonps. The youth are growing up and geing î:a- gan te cities from farma vhich in times gone by sent their quota te cities dedicated ta God. It is plain that as farm communities decdine inte paganism they sow the wind, and the citics reap the whimlwind. The toregoing corndition consti- tateas the second basic tact wliy America must place the rural church back in its rote of conservatn)r of bhe headwaters of religion. It is a pelicy of suicide fer the city te pursue a plan of cotd apathy in re- gard ta rural people and the rural .hurch. Rather it behoovos the uiemarchies te pav attcntion-ncît orine spasmodic and spectacutar gît- tention-but a constant mementeus attention te formai religion in the country. Here ia th~e crux of the situation: To cave the city and te save the city chumch they must save he rural community. New, asks Dr. Galpin, what is our part? The tlrst stage ot the new rural church building bas been, it m'as said, criticisrn, anabysis, intel- lectual grasp of the problem. The econd stage, 1 believe, us emotin- eope, tervor, passion. Religion we imust admnit, is neot fired by cold tacts -a flame îa required. The churph ises te a prephet, seldom te a logi- ian. One must "go mad", appar- ntly with the Apostle Paul'a type tf mad zeal, te 6e heard. 1 propose, therefore, the second stage-n stage f prophetic fire, a stage ot passion. These be plain words ot Dr. Gat- îin's when he says, the tacts et the frat era ef thinking on the rural church will fumnish the fuel for the ame et the second. We pray fer a rat prophet.

When piaced togelîher thcy made an alat-ming pile et eatabtes but the heap soon diminished when attacked by the boys. Needless te say the meeting was therougbiy enjoyed by ail the members and everyone went away satislled. Micimacea held another interosting meeting on Tuesday evening.

The Boys' Womk Board oet the churcit decided, that semeithing should be donc and' atter vamieus plans had been discuss- cd, dccidcd te ment these roema. These were fitted se that the boys could play games et varieus sorts es- pecially basketball. The Boys' W-ork Board et Tminiity Church deserve a good deat et praise for pmoviding a suitable place for the beys. The boys teed that the reems arc their ewn and the meetings are better attended and in- tereg-, is increascd since they have been able te, have sonue form et me- creatien. This is the first attempt that lias been made in Bowmanville te pro- vide an indoor recreation roonu where games may be playcd.
