of Christ in America, the results of an inquiry +into the condition of the country church in two typical counties—Windsor +County, Vermont, and Tompkins County, New York. The disclosure of the +conditions in these two counties and the conclusions to which they pointed +led to the creation of the Commission on Church and Country Life of the +Federal Council. Under the direction of the Commission, it was resolved to +extend the investigation of the country church to an entire State. For the +reasons given hereafter, the choice fell upon Ohio.</p> + +<p>For the plan whose execution and results are here set forth, Mr. Gill and +I are jointly responsible. It was submitted to, and revised and approved +by, the Commission on Church and Country Life, in whose name and under +whose direct supervision it was carried out. The field work was done +entirely by Mr. Gill or under his immediate direction as Secretary of the +Commission, and he also worked up in the office the result of his work in +the field. As in the case of “The Country Church,” I am responsible for +the final revision of the manuscript for the press. It is now published +with the approval of the Commission on Church and Country Life, and as a +report of its work.</p> + +<p>In the introduction to “The Country Church,” I said and I desire to +repeat,—“Mr. Gill’s peculiar fitness for the work of this investigation +arises in part from his long and intimate personal acquaintance with the +problem of country life. For fifteen years he has been a country minister. +One of his tasks was to establish a church in a country community in +Vermont which had been without one for more than twenty years. When Mr. +Gill came to it, the moral and social laxity of the whole community<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xiv" id="Page_xiv">[Pg xiv]</a></span> was +flagrant. Disbelief in the existence of goodness appeared to be common, +public disapproval of indecency was timid or lacking, and religion was in +general disrepute. Not only was there no day of worship, but also no day +of rest. Life was mean, hard, small, selfish, and covetous. Land belonging +to the town was openly pillaged by the public officers who held it in +trust; real estate values were low; and among the respectable families +there was a general desire to sell their property and move away.</p> + +<p>Then a church was organized. The change which followed was swift, +striking, thorough, and enduring. The public property of the town, once a +source of graft and demoralization, became a public asset. The value of +real estate increased beyond all proportion to the general rise of land +values elsewhere. In the decade and a half which has elapsed since the +church began its work, boys and girls of a new type have been brought up. +The reputation of the village has been changed from bad to good, public +order has greatly improved, and the growth of the place as a summer resort +has begun. It is fair to say that the establishment of the church under +Mr. Gill began a new era in the history of the town.”</p> + +<p>It was with this record of practical success in the country church, +supplemented by the very unusual experience as an investigator which he +acquired in collecting and analyzing the material for “The Country +Church,” that Mr. Gill approached the task whose results are here set +down. The task of ascertaining with accuracy the conditions of the country +church in other portions of the United States still remains. The remedies +are yet to be applied.</p> + +<p class="right"><span class="smcap">Gifford Pinchot.</span></p> + +<p>Milford, Penna.<br /> +Aug. 26, 1918.</p> + + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><a name="PART_I" id="PART_I"></a><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_1" id="Page_1">[Pg 1]</a></span></p> +<h1>SIX THOUSAND COUNTRY CHURCHES</h1> +<p> </p> +<h2>PART I<br /> +CONDITIONS AND REMEDIES</h2> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span></p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span></p> +<p><a name="CHAPTER_I" id="CHAPTER_I"></a></p> +<h2>CHAPTER I</h2> +<h3>HOW THE FACTS WERE GATHERED</h3> + +<p>The Commission on Church and Country Life of the Federal Council of the +Churches of Christ in America conducted the work whose results are +summarized in this book. Several thousand persons assisted in collecting +the data here given. Lists of churches were obtained from correspondents +in every township in Ohio, and township maps were sent to them for marking +the location of the churches. Ministers, clerks, and other officers of +churches, district superintendents, and other denominational leaders gave +indispensable information.</p> + +<p>The very important material gathered by the Ohio Rural Life Survey, +including country church maps of twelve counties and many data for +seventeen other counties, was placed at the disposal of the Commission.</p> + +<p>Invaluable assistance has been rendered by State, County, and Township +Sunday School Associations. In about half of the townships, officers of +the township associations supplied needed information. Miss Clara E. +Clemmer, Secretary of the County Association, gathered nearly all the data +for Preble County. The Rev. C. A. Spriggs, a Missionary of the American +Sunday School Union, furnished most of the facts used in making the map of +Pike County.</p> + +<p>In a few counties, superintendents of public schools either gave desired +information themselves, or supplied the names of others who did, and in +some cases the agricultural agents lent a hand.</p> + +<p>County atlases were consulted, and verifications and corrections were +obtained from many sources. The topographical maps issued by the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span> United +States Geological Survey gave the locations of certain churches. The Year +Books of the various denominational bodies were in constant use for +verification and reference, as were the United States Census, the Ohio +Statistical Reports, and other Government documents.</p> + +<p>In the different sections of Ohio Mr. Gill made extensive investigations +on the ground, while large numbers of country ministers and church members +were consulted personally. Specific information has thus been collected in +nearly every township, while at country church institutes and conferences +in various parts of the State, many facts were secured from the +discussions on rural church conditions. Not only has information, +therefore, been received from very many people intimately associated with +the churches of rural Ohio, but also, and very widely, from personal +observation on the field itself.</p> + +<p>In spite of all the care that could be taken, after the work on the +township maps was thought to be finished, a few other churches were +discovered. If, in the future, still other churches should be found which +are not on the maps, the number of them will be insignificant. Their +discovery will doubtless in no wise affect the conclusions which have been +drawn as to the country church situation in Ohio, nor their omission +impair the general usefulness of the maps.</p> + +<p>In the constructive work of the Commission and of the Ohio Rural Life +Association for rural church betterment, as well as in the survey, the +Ohio State University, under Dr. Thompson, has always given free and +valuable coöperation.</p> + +<p>For all this kind assistance the Commission and the Association are deeply +grateful, and here express their hearty thanks.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_II" id="CHAPTER_II"></a>CHAPTER II</h2> +<h3>THE RURAL CHURCH MAPS OF OHIO</h3> + +<p>In Part III of this volume are 88 country church maps, one for each county +in the State of Ohio. The making of these maps was part of a program +adopted in 1914 by the Commission on Church and Country Life of the +Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. It seemed to the +Commission that an attempt ought to be made to test the possibilities of +rural church improvement through interdenominational coöperation in some +one State. Ohio was chosen because of its geographical location, because +of the variety of its church conditions, and because in a number of its +counties a country church survey had already been made. This survey had +indicated a widespread need for the readjustment of church life to +community welfare in rural Ohio.</p> + +<p>It was therefore determined, if possible, to complete a series of maps for +the entire State which would summarize the facts. In dealing with so many +churches in so large an area, it was of course feasible to collect only a +very small number of facts concerning each church. Accordingly the facts +to be gathered were limited to the location of every rural church, its +denomination, its present membership, whether it is gaining or losing in +membership, whether it ordinarily has a resident pastor, and if not, what +part of a minister’s service it receives.</p> + +<p>The collection of such facts was necessary, first, to impress upon the +church officials and others the actual urgency of the situation, and +second, to provide a basis for a workable policy of interchurch +coöperation and reciprocity in influencing or directing the redistribution +of ministers and churches.</p> + +<p>While the making of the church maps appeared to be the least amount<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span> of +preliminary work that would open the way for effective action, it was +evident that nothing adequate could be done for rural church betterment +without interdenominational, or undenominational, organization. Therefore, +when the branch office of the Commission on Church and Country Life was +opened in Columbus, Ohio, in August, 1914, at the same time the Ohio Rural +Life Association was formed to coöperate with the Commission in its work +in the State. Soon afterward a Committee on Interchurch Coöperation, +consisting of executives in charge of the country churches of eleven +denominations, was organized. The principles which it adopted to govern +its action mark a forward step of real importance. (See page <a href="#Page_235">235</a>.)</p> + +<p>The chief burden of making the church maps has rested upon the Commission +on Church and Country Life. Its paid executive and office force have done +the main part of the work, but valuable assistance has been rendered by +the Ohio Rural Life Association. Much of the work was done in its name.</p> + +<p>Incidentally, the coöperative work of these bodies has by no means been +confined to the making of surveys. Country Life Institutes have been held, +and an educational propaganda in the interest of the rural church has been +continuously carried on, with the result that in Ohio more than in any +other State has the country church gained ground in its command of public +interest. As a subject for addresses and discussion the country church has +a place in a large number of farmers’ institutes, and in nearly all Sunday +school conventions, while during Farmers’ Week at the State Agricultural +College, conferences on no other subject have attracted more people or +provoked more animated discussion.</p> + +<p>Inasmuch as the collecting of the data extended over a period of more than +three years, the maps do not all represent the exact situation at the same +moment. While they were being made some of the churches were being +redistributed in different circuits, and membership rolls were increasing +or decreasing. Since the map for their county was completed some churches +have federated, or their members have all united in a<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> denominational +union church. But while the maps do not constitute a snap shot of the +entire State, the changes which have taken place are too few in any way to +invalidate the conclusions drawn. The total situation is indicated with +sufficient correctness.</p> + +<p>These maps should supply the indispensable basis for the readjustment that +is obviously required. We hope that the publishing of them will not only +register a stage of progress in the State of Ohio, but that in other +States also similar work will be undertaken, and that the forward movement +in rural church life will be strengthened and accelerated throughout the +nation.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_III" id="CHAPTER_III"></a>CHAPTER III</h2> +<h3>SUMMARY OF RESULTS</h3> + +<p>Ohio contains in its area of 41,060 square miles, some 1,388 townships. If +we exclude the townships in which the population is urban, those in which +there are villages of more than 2,500 inhabitants (the number set by the +United States Census as separating the country from the town), those which +contain parts of, or border on, large town or city parishes, there remain +1,170 townships which may be classed as strictly rural. These rural +townships have in all 6,060 churches and nearly 1,700,000 persons. Each of +them has on an average a population of 1,448 persons, with five churches, +or one church to every 280 persons. If we include with the strictly rural +townships the rural sections of townships not exclusively rural, there are +in Ohio no less than 6,642 country churches.</p> + +<p>As these facts would indicate, the country churches of Ohio for the most +part are small and weak. According to data gathered by the earlier survey +made under the direction of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, the +churches whose membership is less than 100 as a rule do not prosper, and +the smaller the membership the greater the proportion of the churches +which are on the decline. In Ohio more than 4,500, or 66 per cent, of the +rural churches have a membership of 100 or less; more than 3,600, or 55 +per cent, have a membership of 75 or less; more than 2,400, or 37 per +cent, a membership of 50 or less.</p> + +<p>The membership in these country churches is distressingly small, but the +attendance is smaller still. The data available indicate that ordinarily +it is less than half the membership.</p> + +<p>In six churches taken at random, it was found that the figures ran as follows:</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span></p> + +<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" summary="figures"> +<tr><td><i>Membership</i></td><td><span class="spacer"> </span></td><td align="center"><i>Average attendance</i></td></tr> +<tr><td align="center"><span style="margin-left: .5em;">125</span></td><td> </td><td align="center">34</td></tr> +<tr><td align="center"><span style="margin-left: .5em;">300</span></td><td> </td><td align="center">136</td></tr> +<tr><td align="center"><span style="margin-left: .5em;">173</span></td><td> </td><td align="center">30 to 40</td></tr> +<tr><td align="center"><span style="margin-left: .5em;">150</span></td><td> </td><td align="center">Less than 30</td></tr> +<tr><td align="center"><span style="margin-left: .5em;">300</span></td><td> </td><td align="center">- 40</td></tr> +<tr><td class="bt" align="center">1,048</td><td> </td><td class="bt" align="center">270</td></tr></table> + +<p>In one township it is reported that the average attendance in each of its +eight churches is less than 25.</p> + +<p>One of the most striking facts is the shortage of resident ministers. +While a reasonable degree of interchurch coöperation should result in the +maintenance of a resident pastor in nearly every township, yet in 317, or +27 per cent, of the strictly rural townships, no church has a resident +pastor. (See <a href="#Page_49">Map 11</a>, page <a href="#Page_49">49</a>.) More than 4,400, or about two-thirds, of +the churches in rural Ohio, and 39 per cent of the villages are without +resident ministers, while in the open country only 360, or 13 per cent, of +the 2,807 churches have resident pastors.</p> + +<p>The efforts of the ministers are so scattered over fields more or less +widely separated that much of their effectiveness is lost. (Consult the +county maps, pages 147-234.) More than 5,500 of the 6,642 country churches +are without the full time service of a minister; 3,755 have only one-third +or less of a minister’s services; 2,500 have one-fourth or less; while +more than 750 have no regular service of a minister at all. A large number +of ministers have other occupations than the ministry.</p> + +<p>Moreover it is a rule of nearly universal application that ministers of +country churches in Ohio do not remain long enough in their parishes to +make effective service possible. According to the official records of the +conferences of the largest and doubtless one of the most efficient of the +denominations, in the fall of 1917, 48 per cent of its rural ministers +were about to begin their first year, and 74 per cent either their first +or second year of service in the fields to which they were appointed. Only +26 per cent had had a two years’ acquaintance with their parishes, while +only<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> 8 ministers, or scarcely more than 1 per cent, had served as long as +five years. This condition is no better in nearly all the other +denominations.</p> + +<p>Because of this, and also because the effort of the ministry is divided +among various and widely separated churches, the people who live in the +rural districts in Ohio receive too little pastoral service. The short +term also discourages the ministers from attempting to discover and meet +the needs of their communities and from formulating and carrying out any +adequate plans of community service. The churches, as a rule, are not +trained to expect such service, nor the ministers to render it.</p> + +<p>In certain extensive areas in Ohio the country church seems to have broken +down. (See Chapters <a href="#CHAPTER_IV">IV</a> and <a href="#CHAPTER_V">V</a>.) In regions where it has been active for a +century it has failed and is now failing to dispel ignorance and +superstition, to prevent the spread of vice and disease, and to check the +increasing production of undeveloped and abnormal individuals. Because of +the lack of an organization to coördinate the work of the denominations, +and to study the field as a whole, no one has been conscious of +responsibility for such failure. The conditions have not even been known +by many of the church officials who were responsible, and a situation has +been permitted to develop which threatens the welfare of the whole State +and demands the immediate redirection of the Church’s missionary +activities.</p> + +<p>The pay of the country ministers in Ohio is small, the support of the +church meager. According to the records of the Conferences held in the +fall of 1917 the majority of the ministers (58 per cent) of the largest +denomination received less than $1,100 each, three-fourths (74.6 per cent) +less than $1,200, while the average amount was $857 and free use of +parsonage. In the denomination with the second largest number of country +churches the average salary was only $787, or $680 and free use of +parsonage.</p> + +<p>Over considerable areas a large proportion of the ministers are +uneducated. Often they are illiterate and entirely unfitted to render +service acceptable to the more intelligent part of their people. In most +of the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span> State, the standard of education for ministers is low. It is in +part due to the failure of an insufficiently educated ministry to +stimulate the intellectual life of the people, that from 1,500,000 to +2,000,000 people in the State have no public libraries.</p> + +<p>Unless a larger and stronger social and religious institution is created +in the country districts than is now found in the country church, the more +vigorous young people will for the most part leave the country, and an +inferior class will take their places on the farm. A process of reverse +selection will therefore set in which must result in the general +debasement of our rural population and ultimately of our nation as a +whole. As is well known, this process of decadence is already taking place +over very large areas in rural America.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_IV" id="CHAPTER_IV"></a>CHAPTER IV</h2> +<h3>WHERE CHURCH EFFICIENCY IS LOWEST</h3> + +<p>The facts summarized in the previous chapter show that in rural Ohio the +church as a whole is not adequately performing its great and difficult +task. It is equally evident that no institution could hope for a high +degree of success unless more progressive in method and administration. +Furthermore, unless the urban officials or directors in charge of rural +churches come to appreciate the fundamental importance of the country +church problem, address themselves more seriously to the task in hand, and +make really effective use of improved organization and available human and +material resources, the country church will continue to decline. While +there are very many successful churches, and many rural communities +socially, morally, and economically prosperous, failures occur in equally +large numbers.</p> + +<p>A most striking illustration of the churches’ inefficiency may be found in +southern and southeastern Ohio. Here, in a region covering at least +eighteen counties, the failure of the churches may fairly be called +pathetic. These counties are Adams, Athens, Brown, Clermont, Gallia, +Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Pike, +Ross, Scioto, Vinton, and Washington. In this area, after more than a +hundred years of the work of the churches, the religious, social, and +economic welfare of the people are going down. Although the churches have +been here for more than a century, no normal type of organized religion is +really flourishing, while the only kind which, during the past fifteen +years, has been gaining ground, the cult of the Holy Rollers, is scarcely +better than that of a Dervish. The churches have failed and are failing to +dispel ignorance and superstition, to prevent the increase of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> vice, the +spread of disease, and the general moral and spiritual decadence of the +people.</p> + +<p>Most of the information concerning the Eighteen Counties, as for +convenience, this region is hereafter called, was derived from personal +investigation on the ground by Mr. Gill, from the testimony of two trained +investigators, and from interviews and correspondence with local +merchants, physicians, clergymen, school teachers, superintendents of +schools and churches, farmers, and Sunday school workers. Information +confirming what had already been received was found in the statistical +reports of the national and state governments. Some of the results of a +study of the reports of the Ohio Bureau of Vital Statistics and the United +States Census are given in Table A and in Maps A, and Maps 1 to 10, on +pages 26 to 36.</p> + +<p>In Map A the heavily shaded area indicates the Eighteen Counties included +in this region. Ten other counties bordering upon them are shaded more +lightly. Many communities in these ten bordering counties are influenced +by the migration of population from the Eighteen Counties.</p> + +<p>In no less than twelve out of the Eighteen Counties, the death rate from +tuberculosis is excessive. (See <a href="#Page_27">Map 1</a> and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 1.) Reports of +the Ohio Bureau of Vital Statistics for the years 1909, 1910, and 1911 +(the latest we could secure on this subject), give the average annual +deaths from this disease for 100,000 persons, as 125 for the whole State. +On Map 1, all counties are shaded whose rate exceeds not 125 only, but +145. Of the seventeen counties in the State whose death rate from +tuberculosis is 145 or over, all but five are in this region, and of the +five one is a bordering county.</p> + +<p>Outside this area and the bordering counties, the highest rate is in +Franklin, of which the city of Columbus is the county seat; but of the +Eighteen Counties, seven have a higher rate than Franklin. In Clermont +County it is 164, in Scioto 169, in Lawrence 172, in Ross 175, in Gallia +184, while in Pike it is no less than 216,—far larger than for any other +rural county in the State. In Hamilton County, in which is the city of +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>Cincinnati, and which is adjacent to Clermont County, the rate of 217 is +probably due to the large colored population.</p> + +<p>It will be observed, therefore, that in no less than two-thirds of the +Eighteen Counties the rate of death from this preventable disease is +excessively and indefensibly high.</p> + +<p>The number of illegitimate births in the Eighteen Counties is likewise +excessive. (See <a href="#Page_28">Map 2</a> and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 2, pages <a href="#Page_28">28</a> and <a href="#Page_37">37</a>.) The rate +per 100,000 population for the State is 43.9. Of the 28 counties whose +rate is above the average, 19, or 68 per cent, are either in the Eighteen +Counties or the counties bordering upon them. No less than thirteen, or +more than two-thirds, of the Eighteen Counties have an excessive number of +illegitimate births. Outside this area and the bordering counties the +highest rate for any county is 61, but in ten of the Eighteen Counties it +is greater than this. Whereas the rate for the State is less than 44, in +Athens County it is 65, in Noble 67, in Scioto 73, in Gallia 76, in +Hocking and Monroe 78, in Ross 87, in Pike 89, in Lawrence no less than +113, while in Jackson it is 123, or the highest rate in the State.</p> + +<p>It will be noted that these figures cover the counties in which are the +large cities as well as the rural counties. But in Hamilton, containing +the city of Cincinnati, the rate is only 66, in Franklin, containing the +city of Columbus, it is 56, and in Cuyahoga, containing the city of +Cleveland, it is only 50.</p> + +<p>Illiteracy also, in the Eighteen Counties, is excessive. (See <a href="#Page_29">Map 3</a> and +column 3 of <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>.) The per cent of illiterate males of voting age for +the State in 1910 was 4.2. There are 29 counties in which that number was +exceeded. Of these, fourteen are among the Eighteen Counties, and five +border upon them. In Brown County, the percentage is 4.3, in Washington +and Noble 4.5, in Monroe 5.4, in Adams 6.9, in Athens and Ross 7.4, in +Scioto 7.7, in Gallia 8.1, in Vinton 8.4, in Hocking 8.6, while in Pike it +is 10.7, and in Lawrence 11.6.</p> + +<p>Among the remaining ten counties whose percentage of illiteracy is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span> above +the average it appears (see <a href="#Page_30">Map 4</a>, page <a href="#Page_30">30</a>) that in all but three, the +percentage of foreign-born persons is large, and that among counties where +the foreign born are few, there are, outside the Eighteen Counties, only +six for which the percentage of illiteracy is greater than 4.2, and three +of these are included in the counties which border upon them.</p> + +<p>It will be noted that in this region the number of foreign-born persons is +very small. The percentage for the State is 12.5, whereas in the Eighteen +Counties it is only 2.3. No less than 53 counties out of the 70 outside of +the Eighteen Counties, have a foreign population of more than 2.3 per +cent.</p> + +<p>In this region, therefore, where there is so high a percentage of +illiteracy, of illegitimacy, and of deaths from preventable disease, the +people are more nearly pure Americans than in the rest of the State. They +compare unfavorably with the people of counties where a large proportion +are foreigners. It is true that the cause does not lie in the origin of +the population. But the fact that these things are true in the most +American parts of Ohio, where we should naturally expect to find the best +situation, greatly emphasizes the significance of the conditions +disclosed.</p> + +<p>It is an additional indictment against those who are responsible that in +Mahoning County more than 28 per cent and in Cuyahoga County more than 33 +per cent of the population in 1910 were foreign born, yet in these +counties, containing the large cities of Youngstown and Cleveland, the +moral and social conditions are better than in the Eighteen Counties—a +rural section inhabited by our purest American stock.</p> + +<p>Such statistical data as are here presented are but as smoke indicating +fire. They do not overstate the urgency of the appeal from the unfortunate +over-churched and under-ministered communities of this section. Here gross +superstition exercises strong control over the thought and action of a +large proportion of the people. Syphilitic and other venereal diseases are +common and increasing over whole counties, while in some communities +nearly every family is afflicted with inherited or infectious disease. +Many cases of incest are known, inbreeding is rife. Imbeciles,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span> +feeble-minded, and delinquents are numerous, politics is corrupt, the +selling of votes is common, petty crimes abound, the schools have been +badly managed and poorly attended. Cases of rape, assault, and robbery are +of almost weekly occurrence within five minutes’ walk of the corporation +limits of one of the county seats, while in another county political +control is held by a self-confessed criminal. Alcoholic intemperence is +excessive. Gross immorality and its evil results are by no means confined +to the hill districts, but are extreme also in the towns.</p> + +<p>Adams County was made notorious because in the 1910 election nearly 2,000 +persons were disenfranchised for selling their votes, and there is +convincing evidence that it does not stand alone. Of course there are many +communities in this region where conditions are better, such as the area +immediately affected by the admirable and effective work of Rio Grande +College. But there is just as little question that the general deplorable +condition of the Eighteen Counties, ascertained through the personal +investigations of Mr. Gill, and confirmed by wide correspondence and the +statistical data here summarized, is true.</p> + +<p>The bad economic, as distinguished from the moral, conditions in the +Eighteen Counties are largely due to sterility of soil, and to the fact +that many of its hillsides are too steep for profitable cultivation. It is +often contended that economic conditions affect religion and morals, and +there is much truth in that contention. But it cannot be held that steep +hillsides and sterile soil of themselves produce conditions such as are +here described. Merely to state such a proposition is to refute it. Moral +and religious poverty must bear at least as much of the blame as poverty +of the soil. (See Maps <a href="#Page_34">8</a>, <a href="#Page_35">9</a>, and <a href="#Page_36">10</a>, and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, columns 8 and 9.)</p> + +<p>The total value of farm property falls below 15 million dollars in but 21 +of the 88 counties of Ohio. Of the 21, all but 6 are among the Eighteen +Counties. (See <a href="#Page_34">Map 8</a>, and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 8.) In Adams, Athens, and Monroe +Counties, the value of farm property is only 10 million dollars each; in +Morgan 9, in Meigs and Scioto 8, in Gallia 7, in Hocking and Pike 6, in +Jackson and Lawrence 5, and in Vinton only 4.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span>According to the United States Census the value of farm property in Ohio +increased nearly 60 per cent from 1900 to 1910. There were only ten +counties in the State in which farm property had not increased more than +25 per cent during that period. Eight of these are among the Eighteen +Counties. (See <a href="#Page_35">Map 9</a>, and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 9.)</p> + +<p>According to the Census of 1910, there were only 13 counties in Ohio whose +land was valued at not more than $25.00 per acre. All of them are in the +Eighteen Counties. (See <a href="#Page_36">Map 10</a>.) In the remaining five the land is valued +at not more than $50.00 per acre. It becomes impossible, therefore, to +avoid the question whether the character of the soil determines the +character and destiny of the people who are born upon it.</p> + +<p>Attention should be directed in passing to the fact that the low value of +the land is due in part to the failure of the people who live upon it to +develop and use the natural resources which are available. In some of the +poorest regions in the Eighteen Counties an occasional farmer is making a +good living from the soil, although his land by nature is no better than +that of his poor neighbors. As a rule the agricultural opportunities of +the region are neglected. For example, little fruit is grown, although +both climate and soil in much of the region are very favorable to fruit +production.</p> + +<p>But it remains true that the natural conditions as a whole are not as +favorable for agriculture, as they are to the north and northwest; and it +is an unquestionable fact that the character and condition of the earth’s +surface has a relation to the physical, intellectual, social, and moral +conditions of the people who live upon it. Undoubtedly this is as true in +southeastern Ohio as it is elsewhere. Poor soil, as a rule, does not hold +upon itself the most enterprising families so tenaciously as good soil, +and for that reason we might fairly expect the people of these districts +to have less vigor and less initiative. On such soil it is therefore more +difficult to sustain thriving churches, and so the moral and religious +life may be more prone to decline.</p> + +<p>But soil conditions by themselves cannot demoralize a people. They<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> can do +so only where the church is failing to do its work. The natural conditions +of soil and climate are by no means worse in the Eighteen Counties than in +many other areas where fairly good moral conditions are found. They are no +worse than they were in the parish of John Frederick Oberlin, nor in many +fairly prosperous New England communities of to-day. Even where moral, +economic, and other conditions are bad, communities usually respond +quickly to the work of a well-equipped resident pastor, as the experience +of home missionaries abundantly proves.</p> + +<p>In the first parish served as pastor by Mr. Gill, the soil and the people +were very poor. The moral conditions, because of a church situation very +similar to that of the neglected communities of southeastern Ohio, were +bad. But the response to the work of a church which gave good service was +all that could have been anticipated. Even the economic conditions were +notably improved as a result of the church’s work, while the moral change +in the community was striking, rapid, and enduring. Men familiar with home +missionary work regard such results as normal.</p> + +<p>Where the conditions are as unfavorable as they are in the Eighteen +Counties, it is unquestionably the duty of the church as a whole, and +especially of the churches of the prosperous districts, to assist the +weaker churches not only with supervision and advice, but also by helping +to provide well-trained and well-equipped ministers, thus guarding against +the ravages of an ignorant and untrained or unworthy and insincere +ministry.</p> + +<p>The people of southeastern Ohio will undoubtedly be as responsive to good +church work and as ready to follow good religious leadership as the people +of similar regions elsewhere. Such work and leadership for many years, at +least, they have not had. (See the next chapter.) Their ecclesiastical and +religious conditions are such as afford no ground for expecting better +social, moral, and physical conditions than those actually found to exist. +Surely we cannot accept these conditions as inevitable until the church +shall at least have made a serious effort to test the possibilities and +learn the results of carrying out a live and modern program.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_V" id="CHAPTER_V"></a>CHAPTER V</h2> +<h3>THE CHURCHES IN THE EIGHTEEN COUNTIES</h3> + +<p>In the Eighteen Counties of Southeastern Ohio some of the older and +stronger denominations are well represented, as Table C shows. (See page +<a href="#Page_39">39</a>.) No less than 526, or more than one-third, of the total number of +churches are Methodist Episcopal. Nearly one-tenth are United Brethren in +Christ, another tenth Baptist, one-fifteenth Christian, and one-fifteenth +Presbyterian; while other powerful denominations are also present. It is +evident that the failure of the churches in this area cannot be laid to +the weakness or poverty of the denominations represented, for they are for +the most part neither weak nor poor. Ohio, moreover, is a wealthy State, +and its churches make large contributions for church work and church +extension both in America and abroad.</p> + +<p>It has been too commonly held in the past that missionary effort should +consist largely in organizing and building churches. We do not believe +that proposition is sound. In rural Ohio the worst moral and religious +conditions are found where there are the largest number of churches in +proportion to the number of inhabitants.</p> + +<p>In 39 counties out of a total of 88 in the State, there is one country +church for each 275 people or less. (See <a href="#Page_31">Map 5</a> and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 5.) Of +these 39 counties, 17 are among the Eighteen Counties under our special +consideration. Outside these Eighteen Counties and the counties contiguous +to them, no county has an average of less than 228 persons to a church, +but it appears that Washington has one church for 226 persons, Monroe one +for 214, Pike one for 211, Gallia one for 197, Morgan one for 194, Jackson +one for 193, while Vinton has one for 182, and Meigs one church for 178. +In the rural sections of these Eighteen Counties there<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span> are 1,542 churches +and 248 townships, or more than 6 churches to a township.</p> + +<p>While the fact that this region is more difficult to travel, because more +hilly, than many other parts of the State might constitute a reason for +having many churches, it certainly cannot be held that the bad moral and +religious conditions which exist are due to lack of a sufficient number of +them. Nor is support here to be found for the contention sometimes made +that religious work thrives best under competition.</p> + +<p>The larger the number of churches in proportion to the population, the +more difficult it obviously becomes to secure, support, and retain +resident pastors. In proportion to the number of churches, the Eighteen +Counties have a comparatively small number of ministers. (See <a href="#Page_32">Map 6</a> and +<a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 6.) In the State as a whole, about one-third, or 34 per +cent, of the churches have resident ministers. In only three counties +outside the Eighteen is it true that less than one-fourth of the churches +have them. These are Delaware, Coshocton, and Pickaway, and the latter is +one of the bordering counties. But in 13 of the Eighteen Counties less +than one-fourth of the churches have resident ministers. It will be noted +that less than one-fifth of the churches in Scioto, Pike, Lawrence, and +Meigs Counties have resident ministers, one-sixth in Morgan County, and +less than one-sixth in Jackson, Hocking, and Gallia.</p> + +<p>In the Eighteen Counties the number of resident ministers in proportion to +the population, as well as in proportion to the number of churches, is +small. (See <a href="#Page_33">Map 7</a> and <a href="#Page_37">Table A</a>, column 7.) There are 24 counties in Ohio in +which there are more than 1,000 persons for each resident minister, of +which 13 are among the Eighteen Counties under consideration, and three +among the bordering counties. Noble County has a resident minister to +every 1,240 persons, Gallia to every 1,396, Lawrence to every 1,450, +Pickaway to every 1,458, while Hocking has only one to 1,693, or nearly +1,700 persons. Here, as in most rural sections, an absentee ministry is +necessarily ineffective. (See pages <a href="#Page_50">50-51</a>.)</p> + +<p>The foregoing facts afford convincing evidence that the church in this<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span> +region is rendering poor service—how poor the reader may judge from the +following description of the religious and ecclesiastical conditions found +by Mr. Gill in his personal investigation on the ground.</p> + +<p>For the most part the farm people of these Eighteen Counties are very +religious. This is attested not merely by the large number of churches, +but also by the frequency of well-attended revival services, held in +spring, summer, autumn, and winter. (In Pike County, for example, no less +than 1,500 revival services were held in thirty years, or an average of 50 +each year.) Yet a normal, wholesome religion, bearing as its fruit better +living and all-round human development, and cherished and propagated by +sane and sober-minded people, is rarely known. The main function of a +church, according to the popular conception, is to hold these protracted +meetings, to stir up religious emotion, and, under its influence, to bring +to pass certain psychological experiences. The idea seems to be dominant +in nearly all the denominations and churches that the presence of the +Deity is made known mainly, if not solely, through states of intense +emotion which may be stimulated in religious assemblies. Such emotion is +held to be not only a manifestation of the Deity’s presence, but also a +proof of His existence. No man is held to be religious or saved from evil +destiny unless he has had such experience. It becomes, therefore, the +business of the preacher of the church to create conditions favorable to +the experiencing of these emotions.</p> + +<p>Officials of denominations to which more than two-thirds of the churches +belong encourage or permit the promotion of a religion of the excessively +emotional type, which encourages rolling upon the floor by men, women, and +children, and going into trances, while some things which have happened in +the regular services of a church in one of the largest denominations +cannot properly be described in print. The leaders of a religious cult +commonly called Holy Rollers seem to be most efficient in this direction. +The character of their services and activities produce the results +desired, according to the traditions accepted and proclaimed for +generations by ignorant preachers to a nonprogressive people.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span>A Holy Roller movement was started in Pike County in the year 1902. It has +steadily been gaining ground ever since, and has never been more +flourishing than now. It is the livest sect in this and neighboring +counties. Its meetings are large and full of enthusiasm. Except the +churches of this cult, very few are now left in the western half of Pike +County which show any activity whatever. In one district of 150 square +miles (in which there are 1,200 children enrolled in the schools and in +all 1,600 young people from the ages of six to twenty) no churches were +holding services in 1917 except those of the Holy Rollers.</p> + +<p>The seasons of protracted Holy Roller meetings often last for several +weeks. Frequently they begin each day at 10.00 A. M. and continue until +2.00 A. M. the next day, with intermissions for meals. These meetings are +characterized by much singing, with music well adapted to rythmic motions +of the body, by dancing and clapping the hands, sometimes by shouting and +joyous screaming, rolling upon the floor, tumbling together of men and +women in heaps, trances, while at least one of their preachers has +exercised hypnotic power over some of his followers and has put them +through stunts in no way differing from those of the professional +hypnotist showman who, in times past, for the price of admission, has +amused and astonished his audience with exhibitions of his skill.</p> + +<p>In one village where Mr. Gill attended a church belonging to this +movement, it was the only religious organization holding services or +showing any signs of life. Although at this service the building was full +to its capacity, as is usual with meetings of this kind, the church not +only had no Sunday school, but its leaders kept the children away from one +which a missionary of the American Sunday School Union was trying to start +in the neighborhood. Three-fourths of the parents of the fifty pupils in +the local school were adherents of this cult, yet its leaders opposed +having better day schools. The school principal, under the direction of +the County School Superintendent, tried to hold literary meetings for +intellectual and social improvement, but under the influence of the Holy +Roller leaders, the parents refused to let their children attend, and the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> +enterprise was defeated. Apparently no meeting for any purpose is to be +tolerated except the Holy Roller meetings themselves. These theoretically +and in fact take the place of all other gatherings.</p> + +<p>The Holy Roller church in this community, as elsewhere, in its total +influence promotes immorality. It has a tendency to break up families and +destroy the peace and harmony of the neighborhood. In the judgment of the +more sober-minded people, the Holy Roller movement spoils the life of the +community wherever it goes.</p> + +<p>Although the Holy Roller cult apparently was not started in this region +until a few years ago, it would seem that the religious activities of the +older denominational churches were but a good preparation for it. In fact, +good soil is found for sprouting the seed of Holy Rollerism in many +sections of the State. The difference in religious beliefs and ideals +between the Holy Rollers and the preachers of other denominations in the +Eighteen Counties too often is not easily detected. Denominations to which +at least two-thirds of the churches belong employ many men and women as +preachers who are extremely ignorant.</p> + +<p>In one of its districts, nearly half of the twenty or thirty ministers of +the largest denomination in the State did not have a common school +education. It is usual to find ministers intellectually inferior to a +number of families whom they are supposed to lead and teach. In some +districts a considerable proportion of the preachers have had no more than +three or four grades of common school instruction. Some cannot write their +own names correctly. Accordingly religious education is neglected. The +people apparently have been untouched by the general advance in religious +knowledge during the past century.</p> + +<p>Many intelligent people in the Eighteen Counties deplore these conditions +and would be glad to have churches of a different type. But it is also +very common to find among the more prosperous, especially in the fertile +river valleys, a spirit of utter indifference towards religion, and often +of gross materialism. Under such circumstances it is not surprising to +find that in several sections much hostility to institutional religion<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span> +exists. It is given expression by rural hoodlums who cut to pieces +harnesses and slash tires belonging to ministers or laymen who attend +religious gatherings, while in some communities stones are thrown through +the windows of buildings where public worship is being held.</p> + +<p>While it is true that out of the poorest and most unfortunate districts +bright boys and girls frequently emerge, escape their surroundings, and +become good citizens, it is none the less true that a large proportion of +those who remain have no reasonable chance for wholesome development.</p> + +<p>The bad influence of the Eighteen Counties extends far beyond their +borders. Out of them many farm laborers have gone to communities to the +north and northwest, often with deplorable results to the social, +religious, and moral conditions of the communities where they are +employed. (See <a href="#Page_38">Table B</a>.) It is calculated that no less than 61,000 persons +emigrated in the ten-year period from 1900 to 1910 from the strictly rural +districts of <i>sixteen</i> of the Eighteen Counties.</p> + +<p>In Madison, a fertile county near the center of the State, in an area +sixteen miles long and from seven to eleven miles wide, there are three +closed and no active churches. One of the causes of this condition is the +fact that the farm laborers imported by the owners of large tracts of +lands were never made familiar, before they came, with a normal type of +religion. These men come from the Eighteen Counties or from sections +across the Ohio River where the conditions are very much the same. In +parts of several other counties the situation brought about by similar +immigration is extremely bad.</p> + +<p>The Eighteen Counties demand missionary activity on the part of the church +as a whole, not only for the sake of the unfortunate people who live in +them, but also for the sake of the other regions whose welfare is +threatened by the transfer of low standards of all kinds, which, like a +forest fire, are creeping away from the region where they originated.</p> + +<p>Among the large number of intelligent persons who know and deplore the +situation in typical communities of southeastern Ohio, very few seem to +cherish hope of improvement. Such pessimism appears to be <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span>unjustified. +Good work is now being done by missionaries of the American Sunday School +Union. What is more important, there is much promise that the trouble can +be reached and cured by the modern country church movement, which is +already making real progress in Ohio. As a result of this movement, for +example, the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church has, +for the first time, appropriated missionary funds to be used in this +section, while one of the District Superintendents of the same +denomination is carrying out a radically changed program for the churches +under his supervision.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a

POLICY AND PROGRAM</h3> + +<p>The roots of the religious and moral life of the Nation are chiefly in the +country church. As in southeastern Ohio, so in any area where the church +fails, degeneracy begins. The low and sordid moral atmosphere found in so +many rural villages and communities, not only among the Eighteen Counties, +but throughout the State (and far beyond the boundaries of Ohio) is +altogether unnecessary. It constitutes a challenge to the church which can +no longer go unheeded. Obviously, whatever reforms in methods and policies +may be required to enable it efficiently to perform its task must be made.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>(1) <i>A Better Program</i></h4> + +<p>One of the chief underlying causes of the present condition of the +churches is an imperfect conception of their function. We recognize the +fact that the effective proclaiming of the Gospel is the essential if not +the greatest and most important task of the churches, but the impression +is still very widespread in the Ohio churches that to preach it from +pulpit and platform is almost their only task. That this is not enough to +bring the churches to their full effectiveness has been conclusively +proved by the experience of foreign missionaries during the past hundred +years. In proportion to the number of their missionaries, the missionary +societies which have believed that proclaiming the Christian message is +the only function of the church, have not made as many converts nor built +up as strong churches as those which engage also in the work of healing +the sick and teaching. The most successful missionary<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[Pg 41]</a></span> organizations teach +not only Christian life and theology, but all that makes for what is best +in our Christian civilization.</p> + +<p>The welfare of a man’s soul may be increased by promoting the welfare of +the rest of him, and the aim of the church should be to bring every man to +the highest possible development of all his powers. In seeking to do so it +will not only be more effective in creating a higher manhood and +womanhood, but will also make its message better understood and secure a +greater number of church members and adherents.</p> + +<p>For our city churches also this is as true as for the foreign missionary +field, although perhaps less obviously so. The equipment of so large a +number of modern city churches for various forms of social service is a +strong indication that those who control their policies recognize the +necessity of a more diversified field of work.</p> + +<p>The success and growth of the Y. M. C. A. is another indication of the +truth for which we are contending. This institution which is a branch or +arm of the Christian church has declared its aim to be the development of +“soul, mind, and body.” As a result of this policy it is now engaged in +many kinds of work which should also be done more widely and generally and +so on a greater scale throughout the church. It receives large +contributions of money from members of the churches, and it rightly +undertakes and successfully carries out large enterprises where other +church organizations fail to see their duties and opportunities and lag +behind or remain idle.</p> + +<p>Still another reason for believing in a larger function and mission of the +church is found in the fact that every strikingly successful country +church is found to be deeply concerned with the needs of the community, +and is carrying out a broad and comprehensive program of service. This is +true not only in the State of Ohio, but throughout the Nation.</p> + +<p>Finally and conclusively, it may be added that the broader program was +instituted and carried out by the Founder of the Christian religion, and +was by Him enjoined upon His followers.</p> + +<p>What the new program for the local country church should be is no<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span> longer +a matter of conjecture. Country ministers in very many widely separated +parishes of the United States have worked it out independently in trying +to meet the needs of their communities, and have everywhere reached +substantially the same conclusion. The program is essentially the same in +all places where the most successful country church work is done. It has +found an embodiment in the mass of country church literature which has +been published during the past eight years, and it has been studied, +tried, and proved to meet the need of large numbers of country pastors in +Ohio and in many of the other States. How it has been carried out in some +Ohio parishes is described in Chapter VIII, pages 75-87.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>(2) <i>A Better Ministry</i></h4> + +<p>To carry out the better program for the local country church requires an +educated ministry. Ohio has suffered greatly from ministerial quackery. +Very imperfectly equipped ministers, such as are found in nearly every +county of the State, and unsound ignorant men, such as are so common in +the Eighteen Counties, cannot meet the requirements of the new program. +Doubtless the educational requirements of the discipline of many of the +denominations are set too low, but even so, if the rules of the discipline +were strictly obeyed, a large proportion of the present ministers would be +eliminated. The new program requires trained men.</p> + +<p>To get better men, better opportunity and better pay must be supplied. +Fields of service must be created large enough, yet sufficiently compact +and free from competing rivals, to make good work possible. The farmers +must be convinced that better support of the ministry is essential, in +their own interest. At the same time the best young men of the churches +must be assured that the new program offers a field so promising as to +make it worth their while to enter the ministry. The churches are wise +enough and strong enough to do all this if they will address themselves to +the situation and take it seriously.</p> + + +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</a></span></p> +<h4>(3) <i>Better Support</i></h4> + +<p>In a large part of Ohio the farmers are able and ready to multiply the +amount of money they now contribute for the support of the churches. When +it is made clear to them that better pay will bring a better minister, +increased support will cheerfully be given. But the farmers will not give +more money either for the support of an inferior minister, or to carry out +the old program. They will demand their money’s worth, and this the +present methods do not, in general, supply. The increased prosperity and +consequent ability of the farmers to support the church more liberally is +indicated by the fact that the total value of farm property in Ohio +increased nearly 60 per cent during the ten-year period from 1900 to 1910.</p> + +<p>But it must be remembered that increased support will not be given by the +farmers unless the need for it, and what it will bring, is brought +forcefully to their attention. This the individual minister cannot do, for +to attempt it lays him open to the charge of feathering his own nest. It +should be done by a State Federation of Churches or by such organizations +as The Ohio Rural Life Association, acting through its own institutes and +the farmers’ institutes, through the circulation of its literature, and +through the formation of organizations for this purpose in the churches of +the different counties. No matter how good work a minister may do, +ordinarily he will not be adequately supported unless some special agency +does this work.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>(4) <i>Better Acquaintance</i></h4> + +<p>The present system of circuits entails upon the country minister an +enormous waste of time. If a man tries to do the pastoral work which is +strictly necessary, he must spend a very large proportion of his working +hours in driving to the widely separated points of his various parishes, +crossing and recrossing as he goes the lines of travel of other ministers +engaged in the same territory upon the same work. That the country +minister should be called upon to waste so large a part of his life in +this<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</a></span> way is shameful because it is bad and inefficient organization, and +carries with it an utterly needless loss.</p> + +<p>To understand the significance of pastoral calling in a rural community it +must be remembered that isolation is as characteristic of the country as +congestion is of the cities. A large proportion of rural families look +upon a minister who calls frequently as a personal asset of great value. +He supplies opportunities not otherwise available for the discussion of +matters of general interest or of deep personal concern. He calls +attention to the things otherwise forgotten, and brings, or should bring +with him, the inestimable advantage of intimate contact with a wise and +well-trained mind. Moreover, a man full of good will to all going from +house to house, sympathetically trying to help and understand, will +inevitably modify the uncharitable and unjust public opinion which either +exists or is believed to exist in most rural communities.</p> + +<p>Equally effective are the incidental contacts of a minister engaged in +community service, such as work with boys, or the promotion of welfare +enterprises. Thus engaged he will inevitably get in touch with his +parishioners, and supply the needs of individuals and of the community, at +least as fully as the minister who devotes most of his working hours to +pastoral calls. In such work less time is spent in the long drives or +walks between houses which are necessary in systematic calling, while the +minister gets to know the men better and bothers them less.</p> + +<p>Without pastoral calling and community welfare work, the country +minister’s service is sure to be ineffective. But as a matter of fact the +country ministers of Ohio for the most part do very little of either. The +country people as a rule, receive very few pastoral calls, according to +the almost universal testimony of the country ministers themselves as well +as that of other persons who live in the country. In Delaware County, for +example, a prosperous county in the center of the State, there is an area +of 82 square miles, with more than 2,100 people, in which only one +minister makes any pastoral calls, and he makes very few. Half the +townships of this county have no resident ministers.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</a></span>Mr. Gill found one township in the north-central section of the State in +which the farmers’ families probably had not been called on once in five +years. One woman had not received a call from a minister in twelve years. +When finally called upon she became a regular and happy church attendant, +though she had not been to church since her childhood. Another family was +found in the same region whose house no minister had entered for nineteen +years. In an Ohio River township, the members of a family testified that a +minister had not called on them for twenty-five years, and still others +asserted that no minister had ever entered their homes. From the reports +of eighteen pastors in one denominational district it appeared that on an +average each one made only six calls a year upon non-church members, +although these were more than 60 per cent of the people. “Our minister +does not know the people of this community” is common testimony everywhere +in the country parishes.</p> + +<p>The country minister’s influence is still further reduced because his term +of service is short—usually but a year or two, rarely three years. +Moreover, his efforts are commonly divided among several communities and +thus are spread too thin to produce results. Add to that the fact that in +each community the people whom he serves are intermingled with the +parishioners of ministers of other denominations. Under these +circumstances how can he become efficient in community service, and how +can he get to know the people of his charge? Ordinarily he does not even +attempt it. Under present conditions the country minister who does, +generally accomplishes little and wears himself into discouragement.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>(5) <i>Rearrangement of Circuits</i></h4> + +<p>The old circuit system under which many of the denominations developed +their work and which is now the system employed in nearly all the larger +denominations in the State, was of undoubted value in the beginning of +their work in pioneer days. But like many other efficient methods<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[Pg 46]</a></span> of +early times it has ceased to be the best method for present needs, in the +form in which we now find it at work. This is true except in a few +instances where it appears in such a modified form as to be adaptable to +present conditions.</p> + +<p>Under the circuit system it has often been accepted as a policy by church +officials that every church must have a minister and every minister a +church. The advantages accruing both to the churches and ministers from a +reasonably cautious and not too consistent application of such a rule are +obvious. But failure to use such caution and too great insistence on its +universal application too often have resulted in the employment of +unequipped and uneducated ministers and sometimes even of men whose +character was questionable, which in turn, has helped to bring about a low +standard of pay for the minister. The pay of the skilled has fallen to +that of the unskilled, and the total result has been to cheapen the +ministry. The standard among farmers for the support of both church and +minister, therefore, has fallen low. We must have a greatly modified +system or a better system before the ministry can be better paid.</p> + +<p>Under the circuit system as now applied in Ohio the churches too often +provide for but little else than preaching. Even the Sunday school, one of +the most hopeful and valuable kinds of church work, is hampered by it, for +this work needs the leadership of a trained ministry, which the present +circuit system tends to prevent. The minister with a circuit can rarely +attend the services of his Sunday schools, and the task of promoting the +Sunday school work during the week in the several communities of his +charge is usually too arduous for him.</p> + +<p>In times past it has been held commendable for a denomination to establish +one of its churches in every community, regardless of the number of +churches already there. By making use of the present circuit system, it +has been possible to establish and after a fashion to maintain a church +almost anywhere. Hence the present unfortunate multiplication of churches.</p> + +<p>When rural communities are overchurched, as under the working of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47">[Pg 47]</a></span> this +plan in Ohio most of them are, competition between them necessarily +results not in the survival of the fit, but in the continued existence of +an excessive number of bloodless, moribund churches, whose energies are +almost entirely exhausted in the mere effort to keep alive.</p> + +<p>When the circuit system is adopted by more than one competing denomination +in a field as it is in Ohio it helps to perpetuate interchurch +competition. When one adopts it all others must, or retire from the field. +It cannot be held that the resulting competition helps to make more +Christians, or that it tends to develop character or community life. On +the contrary, it reduces both the power of the church as a whole and the +influence of the individual churches for personal righteousness and +community welfare. Then, as the churches under the competitive system grow +weaker, they must be yoked in larger circuits. So far has the practice +gone that in one circuit in Ohio there are actually ten churches.</p> + +<p>A variation of this system is found in certain Holy Roller churches where +an undefined number of churches together depend for their leadership on a +group of itinerant revivalists. Frequent or occasional seasons of revival +services often constitute the sole activity of these churches, yet because +of the weakness of the latter they are succeeding or have succeeded in +crowding out many churches of the older denominations. There is a clear +instance of this in the western half of Pike County, where nearly all the +churches are abandoned excepting those of the Holy Rollers—a striking +example of reverse selection or the survival of the unfit.</p> + +<p>The movement for the conservation and improvement of rural life has no +greater enemy than the misused circuit system. Not only does it weaken the +churches, but it necessarily discourages the development of the community +and of community life. With his efforts divided among three or more +different communities, his parishioners mingled with members of competing +churches, the country minister cannot hope for the coöperation necessary +to effective leadership. His success in any work<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[Pg 48]</a></span> for the community, +because it would add prestige to his church, as a rule is not desired by +the members of other denominations. The entire circuit situation as it +works to-day in the region here under investigation whatever may be its +value elsewhere tends to make the modern program of successful churches +entirely impracticable.</p> + +<p>Escape from the deadening environment of the country church circuit is the +ardent desire of most country ministers who have had any reasonable degree +of equipment for their vocation, and self-improvement as a preacher seems +to be the only way out. The circuit minister of such equipment naturally +regards his present work as temporary. He looks forward to leaving the +country through promotion to a town church. The city, where he hopes to +be, and not the country, where he is, becomes for him the only field for +success in the ministry.</p> + +<p>It is evident, therefore, that country parishes to be successful must be +more compact. As a substitute for the circuit, churches in a small +community where there are too many should be united in the support of one +resident minister. If they cannot support him, then other adjacent +churches should join with them in a federated circuit under a single +pastor. Such is the right use of the circuit in the country.</p> + +<p>The territory thus placed under one minister may be so large as to make it +desirable to employ a paid assistant to the pastor. Freed from the +necessity of long drives to other communities, the pastor can make many +calls nearer home. Community enterprises, under this system made possible, +will bring the pastor into personal touch with the people. He will become +their friend and they will wish him a long term of service among them. And +only when a minister has been two or three years in a community can he +begin to render his most effective service. The enlarged and unified +parish, such as that of Benzonia, Michigan, or Hanover, New Jersey, should +be carefully distinguished from the misused circuit, which now plays so +significant a part in the church life of Ohio. Parishes like these afford +all the benefits of the circuit with none of its defects.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[Pg 49]</a></span></p> +<p class="center"><span class="smcap">Map 11</span></p> +<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/map.pg49tmb.jpg" alt="Showing That in 317 or 27 Per Cent of the Strictly Rural Townships No Church Has a Resident Minister" /><br /> +<a href="images/map.pg49.jpg"><small>Larger Image</small></a></div> + + +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</a></span></p> +<h4>(6) <i>More Resident Ministers</i></h4> + +<p>While the preaching of a good pastor is an indispensable factor in the +individual development of his parishioners and in the progress of +community life, that of the non-resident is by comparison of little value. +It is shooting in the air without seeing the target, like the fire of +artillery without the aid of air scouts. There is no greater force for +righteousness in a country community than a church with a resident +minister, well educated, well equipped, wisely selected, whose term of +service is not too short. The church is the only institution which can +hope to employ a man of this type to give his whole time, as a minister +can, to the service of his community.</p> + +<p>The right kind of resident minister will have a strong and intelligent +desire to secure opportunities for the best development of his children +and to create a favorable environment for them. He will therefore take a +keen interest in the schools, in the establishing of libraries, in play +and social life, in keeping out evil influences and promoting general +decency. He may fairly expect to see the fruits of his labor, and will be +all the more likely on that account to become interested in the economic +betterment of the community. Such a man will stimulate it and help it to +make use of all available means to further the general welfare. A church +with such a pastor is community insurance against degeneracy and decay.</p> + +<p>One of the most striking examples of the service of a resident minister +during a long pastorate is found in the life of the well-known John +Frederick Oberlin, a free biography of whom has recently been made +available to all country ministers. Large numbers of modern examples may +also readily be found. One is given on pages 77-80 of this report.</p> + +<p>There are few more deplorable wastes than that of the church in the use of +its rural ministry. This waste alone is enough to account for much of the +decline in country life, because under the present system only a small +fraction of the normal influence of the ministry can be exerted. And it +is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[Pg 51]</a></span> a needless waste, for it is fully within the power of the churches +through their officials to correct it. The minister must be given a field +of such a character that it is possible for him to do his work, and he +must be given that adequate support which proper church administration can +most assuredly secure for him. Only when these readjustments have been +made will it be fair and right to appeal to the young men of education and +ability to enter the rural ministry, and stay in it.</p> + +<p>The thing can be done. We have in mind a rural township with less than +2,000 inhabitants, lying in a hill country, which has six resident +ministers in its five villages, while the term of service of the minister +of each of the parishes is nearly always long. To establish at least one +resident minister in every township is not too high an aim. The people can +and should be brought to understand that the value of a successful +minister rises in increasing proportion with his knowledge of the +community and the length of his service.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>(7) <i>Interchurch Coöperation</i></h4> + +<p>To substitute coöperation for competition is an essential condition of +rural church progress, at least in Ohio. Whenever the new program is +adopted by a community it will discover that interchurch competition is +hostile to community prosperity. Many rural communities already know that +interchurch coöperation is desirable. But the great question is how to +secure it. Nearly every community is aware that it has too many churches, +but the task of reducing the number or securing interchurch comity is a +problem beset with difficulties. These difficulties, however, are by no +means insuperable. Many communities have already found ways to overcome +them.</p> + +<p>In every community which really requires more than one church or pastor, +there should be a federation of churches; that is, a joint committee of +pastors and delegates officially appointed by the several churches to +learn and meet the needs, religious, or social, which require concerted<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[Pg 52]</a></span> +action. While such federations, which are carefully to be distinguished +from federated churches, are common in our cities, comparatively few are +found in the country. One of these is in Shiloh, Ohio, a description of +which may be found on page 75. There appear to be no very great +difficulties in the way of bringing such federations about.</p> + +<p>In communities whose compactness permits, and whose population and +resources require, that there should be only one congregation and pastor, +but where two or more churches already exist, the churches clearly should +either be united organically in a single denominational church, or a +federated church should be formed. Descriptions of federated churches may +be found on pages 59-69.</p> + +<p>In a township or community where population and resources are inadequate +to support more than one pastor, but where the population is so +distributed that more than one place of worship and organized church are +required, a federated circuit may well be formed and a common pastor be +employed. In such case the several churches should be officially +represented by a joint committee which would act for the circuit not only +in employing the common pastor, but also in learning and meeting all the +religious and social needs which require concerted church action.</p> + +<p>In securing pastors and in other matters where assistance is needed, the +local federated churches and federated circuits should be aided by the +State Federation of Churches if there is one, and if not by such bodies as +the Committee of Interchurch Coöperation of the Ohio Rural Life +Association. Both Federation and Association are necessary for other +purposes, and therefore no ground whatever exists for the objection +sometimes made that federated churches will require the formation of new +organizations to supervise them.</p> + +<p>While it is true that an uneducated minister ordinarily cannot satisfy the +people of various denominations, and that usually he is sectarian in his +thinking and point of view, it is equally true that where a well-educated +man is pastor, the needs of the people of various denominations can easily +be met and church unity be made possible.</p> + +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[Pg 53]</a></span></p> +<h4>(8) <i>Community Churches</i></h4> + +<p>The most successful rural church is the community church. Its members work +chiefly not for the church itself, but for the community. Its ambition is +to serve every person in its neighborhood, to create an environment +favorable to the highest possible development of every person in the +neighborhood, and to stimulate other organizations and persons to serve +the community in every possible way. It is conceivable that there might be +more than one such church in a neighborhood, but in this discussion it is +assumed that a community church is the only church in the community, for +by far the larger number of rural communities in Ohio should have but one +church. Since, on an average, there are five churches in a township and +only 1,448 persons, the formation of community churches is evidently both +advisable and important.</p> + +<p>The community church may be a denominational church or a federated church. +It is the judgment of most of the denominational officials who are members +of the Committee of Interchurch Coöperation of the Ohio Rural Life +Association that wherever possible churches should be united in one +denominational church through the reciprocal exchange and elimination of +small churches by the denominational organizations. In such an exchange +church members of denomination A would unite with the church of +denomination B in community M, while members of denomination B would unite +with the church of denomination A in community N, and so on. A number of +such exchanges have been made, and so far as can be learned, they have +worked well. But the members of the small churches frequently refuse to +carry out this plan. They often care more for their local church than for +their denomination, and are not willing that their own church organization +should be destroyed. While such exchanges will doubtless continue to be +made from time to time, it is unlikely that rapid progress will be +achieved by this method alone.</p> + +<p>On the other hand, the members of a local community are usually ready to +form a federated church when they understand it. This has<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[Pg 54]</a></span> been done in +Northfield, Aurora, Wayland, Olmstead Falls, Milford Centre and +Huntington, in Greene Township, Trumbull County, and in many other +communities. A description of some of them may be found on pages 60-69. If +the officials and superintendents of the church should become as favorable +to the formation of federated churches as they are to exchange between +denominations, and should actively further the movement, they could +without question bring about the unification of the churches in very large +numbers of communities which stand greatly in need of it.</p> + +<p>Here then we have two possible methods of uniting the Christian people in +the rural communities. One of them—denominational exchange—is favored by +the officials but often opposed by the people in the churches. The +other—the federated church—is favored by the people in the churches and +opposed by many of the officials.</p> + +<p>It is our contention that in the majority of cases the method preferred by +the people is more desirable than that preferred by the officials. For a +man to leave his own denomination and unite with another often involves +action against the conscience. In some of the denominations, for example, +the members have been trained to think it undesirable to subscribe to a +creed. But creed subscription is required by the churches of many of the +denominations as a condition of membership. In such cases the church +officials may properly hesitate to urge a part of the people to do what +they believe is not right.</p> + +<p>Another reason which often makes it impossible for the church member of +one denomination to unite with the church of another is a temperamental +distaste for the idea of submission to some special system of discipline. +To all Protestants this is clear so far as the Catholic Church is +concerned. To many it is just as clear in relation to some of the +Protestant bodies.</p> + +<p>The official objections to the formation of federated churches involve no +questions of moral principle, but merely those of expediency and the +smooth running of existing ecclesiastical machinery. It is held by +certain<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[Pg 55]</a></span> officials that the federated church tends to promote autonomy in +the local congregations, and that it will impair the authority of the +denomination. But this increase of autonomy has already taken place in the +city churches, which, as a matter of practice, whatever the denominational +theory may be, manage their own affairs. There is here no loss to the +denomination, nor is there likely to be when the country churches are +strengthened by federation.</p> + +<p>In the long run the officials who now entertain objections to the +federated church will doubtless not permit them to stand in the way of +rural church progress. Particularly will this be true when a minister of +their own denomination is to be made pastor of the federated church. It +would seem wise, therefore, for the denominational authorities to agree +that when federated churches are formed the choice of pastors should be +made, so far as possible, on the basis of interdenominational reciprocity.</p> + +<p>In view of the urgent needs of the rural communities, as a rule, those +methods should be adopted which are most acceptable to the local people +whose interests are involved. When the people of a community come to +desire united Christian action in promoting community welfare, their zeal +will usually be strong enough to overcome the difficulties in the way. But +this desirable consummation is greatly retarded where opposition is made +by the denomination or its officials. Until the church officials and +denominations are able to propose some other practicable plan for the +readjustment of church life to community welfare, a plan which can be +carried out, the demands of the situation certainly require them to help +rather than hinder the movement for the formation of federated churches. +In any event they will not be able to stop it.</p> + +<p>In the investigation striking cases were found of denominational officials +opposing Christian unity in the mistaken belief that they were acting in +accord with the sentiment of their denominations.</p> + +<p>It has been reported to us that a certain denominational official has +tried in ten different communities to prevent interchurch coöperation, +although the local churches and the local people were for it. It might<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[Pg 56]</a></span> in +charity be contended that in nine of these it was not Christian +coöperation itself that was opposed, but rather the form of coöperation +embodied in a federated church. But in the tenth community it was clearly +Christian coöperation and not the form of it to which this official was +hostile, for the people of the two local churches were merely meeting +together, in union services on Sunday evenings, and for an occasional +communion service. No federation or organic union was contemplated. But +the old minister was removed, and a new minister was sent to the field +with definite instructions to break up what unity there was. These +instructions he carried out so thoroughly that the Christian forces in the +community were greatly reduced in effectiveness.</p> + +<p>In another community an official persistently tried to prevent the +formation of a federated church, although himself acknowledging that he +sincerely believed it was the very best thing that could be done for the +local people. From two other communities it was reported that this same +official was the only obstacle in the way of Christian unity. It is +entirely probable that in many other communities these denominational +officials have opposed Christian coöperation, for only incidentally did +the authors hear of the cases reported.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>(9) <i>Nonsectarian Support</i></h4> + +<p>To give strength to the movement for interchurch coöperation, a strong +interdenominational or undenominational backing is needed. On the part of +the higher leaders and officials there is no lack of genuine desire to +further interchurch coöperation. The same desire is shared by very large +numbers of the younger ministers who are properly trained for their +calling, and by many older ministers also. The movement, however, is often +halted because of a feeling that somewhere in the denomination there is a +strong sentiment against it.</p> + +<p>Faintheartedness is the greatest obstacle to coöperation between churches +at the present time. Numbers of actual instances could be<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[Pg 57]</a></span> given if it +were proper to do so. What is needed, therefore, is an active movement +between or outside of the denominations, to strengthen those officials who +hesitate to promote interchurch coöperation. Such a movement would finally +reveal the fact that the prevailing sentiment in the denominations is +really in favor of coöperation and not against it, and many who now oppose +it or refuse to help would become most valuable agents in promoting it.</p> + +<p>It must not be assumed that the day of denominations is past. Although, as +between most of the denominations, theological differences no longer +exist, and other differences between many of them are small, +denominational feeling is still dominant. The slight differences loom +large. Denominational officials for the most part feel that their chief +duty is to their denomination, from which they hold their official power; +and this duty is very absorbing. Hence it is often most difficult to gain +support from denominational authorities and churches for +interdenominational projects.</p> + +<p>Moreover, the direction of interdenominational organization, at the +present time, is largely in the hands of men who are responsible for +denominational interests, or the interests of other organizations which +require their wholehearted and undivided support. While the coöperation +and combined judgment of such men is invaluable in the wise direction of +interdenominational projects, in Ohio they fail as a driving force. This +is now the chief cause of weakness in the interdenominational movement for +church and country life in the State.</p> + +<p>Both the work for the country church and for the promoting of rural +business are rendered ineffective by lack of pecuniary support. In spite +of this, however, plans for progressive work both for rural business and +rural church are well developed, and have been tested; and moreover, the +feasibility of progress in both these lines of endeavor has been +thoroughly proved. Two things, then, are now required. These are funds and +federated or independent direction of their use.</p> + +<p>We may well expect that adequate funds will be given for carrying on<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[Pg 58]</a></span> this +work in the years immediately following the war. After the sacrifices of +war those of peace by comparison will not seem large—while the sacrifices +of both peace and war are equally necessary for the realization of the +high ideals which as Americans we cherish.</p> + +<p>This war as nothing else has done, has caused men in general to realize +that there are tasks for all other than the commercial enterprises of the +day, and that each of us must accept his share of the responsibility for +their performance. What is worth fighting for during the war is worth +working for after the war.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[Pg 59]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_VII" id="CHAPTER_VII"></a>CHAPTER VII</h2> +<h3>FEDERATED CHURCHES</h3> + +<p>There are many rural communities in Ohio where the churches exert a vital +influence in community life, and where farm life succeeds in holding +families of moral, intellectual, and physical vigor. In some instances the +communities and their churches have not been seriously affected by the +modern conditions and tendencies which elsewhere are acting unfavorably +upon the country church and country life. In other instances, intelligent +leadership on the part of the ministers has overcome these conditions. +Many of these ministers highly appreciate the help they have received from +the modern country church movement, while not a few have testified that +without it they would have failed.</p> + +<p>In a very large part of rural Ohio the need of interchurch coöperation is +keenly realized. In the divided communities the people, for the most part, +want to get together, but they do not know how. But in many communities +practical methods have been found and tested, and by these methods +Christian coöperation has been brought to pass and the rural church +conditions have been greatly improved. For that reason descriptions of +actual successful cases of interchurch coöperation are here supplied. +These examples are intended to include federated churches, church +federations, and denominational union churches, as well as certain +striking cases of the work of the church in community service. The uniting +of Christian forces will not by itself alone insure rural church progress. +The new country church program must be added. In its absence, a real +advance appears to be impossible.</p> + + +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span></p> +<h4><i>Greene Township</i></h4> + +<p>Greene Township, Trumbull County, is situated in northeastern Ohio, in the +Western Reserve. In 1900 it had a population of about 800 persons, in 1910 +about 100 less. Some of its residents are descended from the early +settlers from New England, others have recently moved in from western +sections of Ohio, while possibly 10 per cent are of foreign birth. That +its people have been somewhat progressive is indicated by the fact that it +was among the first three townships in the State to establish a +centralized school.</p> + +<p>Greene is not a rich township. It has no railroad. About 40 of its houses +are now vacant. Fields which formerly were producing good crops of wheat, +corn, and oats are now growing up to brush. The young men between 25 and +30 years of age who were going into farming before the war can be counted +on the fingers of one hand. It is probable, however, that a new era in +agriculture has begun. Quite recently drainage, and in some cases the +application of lime, have reclaimed much waste land. Still other land will +be treated in the same way and with equally good results. Doubtless, as +elsewhere, progressive country church work will greatly assist a general +movement in the township to secure abundant prosperity.</p> + +<p>In the geographical center of the township are two churches, Methodist +Episcopal and Disciples of Christ. These two are about equal in strength, +while in the northwestern part is a Baptist church with but three or four +families in its membership. The latter, however, supports a Sunday school +of 30 or 40 attendants.</p> + +<p>Formerly, three resident ministers lived in the community, but for twelve +years there had been none. The Baptist Church holds only occasional +preaching services, the Disciples have depended for their preaching upon +student supplies from a neighboring theological school, while the +ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church have lived outside the +township at North Bloomfield, five miles away, where there are Methodist<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_61" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span> +Episcopal, Disciples, and Congregational churches. The Methodist Episcopal +Church at Greene, therefore, was part of a circuit of two churches.</p> + +<p>As is usually the case among farming people of Ohio where there are no +resident ministers the people of Greene Township received very few +pastoral calls. Several families in the southeastern section of the +township have had little or no association with any ministers or churches. +Mr. Gill recently visited the township on a pleasant Sunday, and learned +that less than 30 of its 700 people that day went to church.</p> + +<p>As an indication that the churches of Greene Township have been losing +their hold on the people, it may be noted that an increasing number of +families do not ask clergymen to officiate at funerals. The undertaker +sometimes conducts a short service at the grave, or his wife reads a +prayer and passage of scripture. In view of immemorial custom, the absence +of a clergyman on such occasions is significant.</p> + +<p>The total amount of money contributed annually to the support of the +ministry in Greene Township has been not more than $600. Of this the +Methodist Episcopal Church paid its minister $300. The North Bloomfield +Church in an adjacent township paid him $500, so that the total salary of +the Methodist minister who gave part of his time to Greene Township was +$800. Obviously this is not enough to support a family and enable the +minister to keep a motor car or a horse. A large part of his time and +energy, therefore, was spent in walking from parish to parish and from +house to house through an area of 50 square miles.</p> + +<p>In January of 1917 a joint committee was appointed by the churches of +Greene Township to consider the questions of securing a resident pastor, +increasing the size of the Sunday school and congregation, and rendering +all other forms of service needed in the community. It was decided by this +committee that a federated church should be formed in which each +constituent ecclesiastical body would preserve its own identity. Each +church would independently meet its obligations to its own denomination in +all matters outside of the community, while all the members of the +churches would unite in local activities, including the support<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span> of a +resident minister. A country life institute was held to stimulate the +desire for community improvement, and the plan of church betterment was +set forth and adopted.</p> + +<p>To secure support for a minister, a thorough canvass was made by a +committee of six representing the three churches. As a result of its work +no less than $1,500 was subscribed. “Our results,” wrote the chairman of +this committee, “have surpassed our brightest hopes. It is a genuine +pleasure to work for something that is going to help the whole community +and not just a part. I believe the interests of the Kingdom will be +advanced most where effort is united in rural communities. In our canvass +for funds we were surprised to find that the non-church people were not +willing that the churches should close their doors. In addition we found +they had a deeper interest in the church than we could possibly expect. +One old man, probably sixty-five, said that this was the first time he had +ever been asked to give to the support of a church. He added that he often +felt he would like to give. Many a man said he would double the amount of +his gift if it was necessary.”</p> + +<p>A well-educated minister who has rendered nine successive years of +effective service in one community has been secured as pastor, and there +is now a most encouraging prospect of improvement in religious, moral, +social, and economic life. The increased giving in Greene Township has +also influenced the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in North +Bloomfield. They have pledged $800, instead of the former $500, for the +support of their minister, and expect to raise $1,000. Bloomfield Township +also hereafter will have the undivided service of a minister.</p> + +<p>As a result of this movement in Greene Township, therefore, four of the +churches of these two townships will hereafter pay from $2,300 to $2,500 +for the support of the ministry instead of $1,100 as hitherto, while two +communities will each have the full time service of a resident pastor. The +significance of this increase in the money support of the church will be +apparent to those who have studied modern rural church problems. The +failure of the rural churches to give a living wage, much less a working<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span> +salary, to their ministers has been one of the most discouraging facts in +the rural church situation.</p> + +<p>If the three churches of North Bloomfield should federate as those of +Greene Township have done, doubtless their people could raise $1,500 for +the support of the ministry. Again, if all the churches of both North +Bloomfield and Greene should federate it would be possible to employ a +single pastor of even higher grade with an assistant. An automobile could +be used effectively to cover both townships. In some cases, as in +Benzonia, Michigan, one minister with one or more assistants has been able +to get better results at less expense. The plan is worth trying.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4><i>Aurora</i></h4> + +<p>In the year 1913 in the village of Aurora, Portage County, there were two +churches, the Congregational and Disciples of Christ. They were small in +attendance and membership, and it was hard to get adequate support for the +ministers. The usual results of underpaying the ministry were not wanting. +As a preliminary step in the improvement of this situation an organization +of the men of the churches was formed to promote the general community +welfare. As in so many other cases, to bring the churches together in +coöperative service to the community was seen to be the only way to secure +a vigorous church life for Aurora. That led to the decision to form a +federated church under the leadership of one pastor. Under the plan +adopted, each church was to keep its denominational relations, contribute +to its denominational benevolences, and fulfill all denominational +obligations. But in Aurora, as in Greene Township, the people were to work +together as in one church.</p> + +<p>Owing to circumstances which were purely accidental, for the first year or +two the church was not very prosperous and the federation was only +partially successful. But after awhile the church began to take on life. +While at the beginning it was mutually understood that the arrangement was +to be tried for but two years, at the end of that time the <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span>desirability +of going back to the old way was not even discussed. So far as Mr. Gill +could learn in a visit to the community, the one and only one person who +still preferred the old way was a woman who had opposed the movement from +the start and had always held aloof from it. The opinion of the people is +now practically unanimous that both the community and the churches were +greatly benefited by the change. The first pastor of this church was of +the Disciples, the second a Presbyterian.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4><i>Garrettsville</i></h4> + +<p>Garrettsville is a prosperous community on the Erie Railroad between +Youngstown and Cleveland. Its thousand inhabitants are engaged partly in +farming, partly in manufacturing, and partly in supplying the various +daily needs of the people. Its good houses, electric lights, paved +streets, and trim sidewalks indicate progressiveness and community spirit. +Being progressive, the people not merely recognized the undesirability of +interchurch competition, but they were able to work out a plan whereby +they have largely avoided it.</p> + +<p>In April, 1916, there were four churches in the community, or on an +average one to 250 persons. The highest salary paid to its minister by any +of the churches was $800. Two of the other churches paid much smaller sums +and shared the service of their ministers with the churches of other +towns, while one of the pastors was the Educational Secretary of a Y. M. +C. A. in a town thirty miles away. The spirit of denominational rivalry +was in no respect different from that commonly found where there are too +many churches. When the pastor of the Congregational Church attempted to +organize a branch of the Boy Scouts of America for all the boys in the +community, he found that the members of the other churches feared he was +attempting to win the boys over to his church. For this reason he thought +it best to give up the enterprise.</p> + +<p>In 1914, an unsuccessful attempt was made to unite the Congregational +Church and the Disciples, and another to unite the Baptist and +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span>Congregational churches. In 1916, however, under the influence of the +country church movement in Ohio, a successful effort was made to unite all +three of them. In the spring of that year these three churches were all +without pastors. They decided to hold union services and a Union Sunday +school during the summer.</p> + +<p>Upon trial the advantages of this arrangement became manifest. Not only +was the church attendance larger than the aggregate attendance in the +separate churches had ever been, but the Sunday school, formerly with +separate attendances of 65, 20, and 12, now had an attendance of 130. +Besides the added enthusiasm of greater numbers, it had better teachers, +better music, and a better Christian spirit.</p> + +<p>In September, 1916, it was decided by separate vote of each church to form +a permanent organization, which was incorporated with the name of “The +United Church,” and included all who were members of any of the three +churches. No member was asked to alter any of his beliefs, and any +candidate for admission might choose his own mode of being received, +provided it was one used in some Evangelical church. Contributions for +missionary work were sent to denominational bodies indicated by the givers +or determined by a joint committee. For all local work the members were to +act as one body. A committee of the United Church chose as pastor a young +man of rural experience, a graduate of an eastern university and seminary, +whose denominational affiliation was regarded as of so little importance +that it was not even announced.</p> + +<p>The United Church of Garrettsville, after two years of experience, affords +religious opportunities and renders service to the people far beyond +anything the town could supply before the federation was made.</p> + +<p>While the three original churches remain intact, the main part of the +business of the church is done by the committee of the United Church. The +officials of the denominations of the three churches interested heartily +encourage the project. The united force of church workers from three +denominations has made a very efficient church.</p> + +<p>The United Church is the result of a desire of the people to be as +closely<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[Pg 66]</a></span> joined in their new church as they were in their different +denominational churches. Its motto is “In essentials, unity, in +non-essentials, liberty, in diversities, charity, in all things, Christ +first.” It accepts the Scriptures as its sufficient rule of faith and +practice, interpreted in the light of fundamental agreements in +evangelical teaching, and in the spirit of its motto. Forms of ritual for +the sacrament, for the public services, and for admission into the church +are left to the decision of the minister, and are not provided for in the +regulations. It was desired to keep the forms of sectarianism too feeble +to be able to keep the people apart. Persons may join the United Church +without joining any of the three denominations represented by the original +constituent bodies.</p> + +<p>The Sunday school is well organized, and is testing its work by the +highest standard of Christian education. Its relation to the church is +very close. The young people have a Christian Endeavor Society. The +women’s work is carried on by a most flourishing society under the name of +“The Community Circle,” whose form of organization provides for taking +care of both local and missionary needs. At the first meeting of each +month, half of the time is given to local opportunities for service. The +general social life of the church is largely cared for by this society.</p> + +<p>The United Church has leased all the property of the old churches for a +term of years and cares for the church buildings. It has decided to build +a new community house for promoting the social life of the community and +general community interests, but has postponed it until after the war. In +the Articles of Incorporation one of the objects is regarded as the +support of such enterprises as tend to the more perfect development of the +children and young people spiritually, physically, morally, and socially.</p> + +<p>Representatives of the old churches usually go to the meetings of their +respective denominations, and are accompanied by such members of the +United Church as may wish to attend as visitors. Reports of the meetings +are made at meetings of the United Church. The pastor of the United Church +is also pastor of each of the three denominational churches<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</a></span> and so far as +possible attends the district meetings of the denominational bodies in a +representative capacity and cares for the local denominational interests. +Public services and meetings are held in the Congregational Church +building because it is the largest and best equipped. A baptistry is now +being installed, and various uses are being found for the other buildings.</p> + +<p>It will be noted that the United Church of Garrettsville differs in some +respects from the ordinary federated church.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4><i>Northfield</i></h4> + +<p>In Northfield, Summit County, the Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal +churches united by verbal agreement in a federated church on December 1, +1914. Written articles were adopted several months later. The pastor of +the federated church, Rev. J. M. Keck, has kindly given us the following +brief account:</p> + +<p>“The consent of the higher officials of each denomination was first +secured. Then the members of the local churches agreed to the following +plan:</p> + +<p>“The Presbyterians remain in the Cleveland Presbytery and the Methodists +in the Northeast Ohio Conference as before. The legal organization of each +local church continues intact. Each set of trustees has charge of its +property. The Presbyterian Church being the better located, is used for +worship, and the Methodist for dinners, etc. When a building needs +repairs, funds are raised from the entire congregation by voluntary +contributions.</p> + +<p>“The only additional organization is an Executive Committee, half +Presbyterians and half Methodists, which has charge of current expenses +and all matters relating to the congregation as a whole. An every-member +canvass for the local budget is made in which no account is taken of +church relations, no one but the treasurer knowing how much is contributed +by each denomination. Benevolent contributions are equally<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[Pg 68]</a></span> divided +between the denominational boards or applied to the Presbyterian or +Methodist funds as indicated on envelopes.</p> + +<p>“Persons desiring to unite with the church elect whether they are to be +Presbyterians or Methodists and are received accordingly. No one seems to +care in which they are enrolled, since they work in the same congregation +and contribute to the same funds. The order of public worship is a +modification of each of those formerly in use but retains the essential +features of both.</p> + +<p>“So far there has not been the slightest friction between the +denominations. No one seems to think of ever going back to the old way.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center">WHAT THE PRESBYTERIANS GAINED</p> + +<p>“1. A church was saved for the denomination which in time would probably +have been forced to disband.</p> + +<p>“2. Several hundred dollars of home missionary money was saved annually +which had been expended in Northfield to keep the church open and alive. +Under the federation it is not needed.</p> + +<p>“3. Offerings are made to the various boards and interests of +Presbyterianism.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center">WHAT THE METHODIST CONFERENCE GAINED</p> + +<p>“1. A church was saved that doubtless would have been closed in a few +years for want of support.</p> + +<p>“2. The salary of the pastor has been increased and also the stipends of +the district superintendent, the bishops, conferences, and claimants.</p> + +<p>“3. The contributions to all boards and benevolences have been increased.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center">WHAT THE COMMUNITY GAINED</p> + +<p>“1. Federation saves paying two pastors and keeping two church buildings +when one is sufficient. It makes the public more willing to aid.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_69" id="Page_69">[Pg 69]</a></span>“2. The congregation being more than doubled, there is more enthusiasm and +willingness to work.</p> + +<p>“3. It has silenced the criticism that the churches are competing instead +of coöperating.</p> + +<p>“4. The economic and fraternal features of federation appeal to the public +and bring into line people who did not patronize either church before.”</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4><i>Federated Churches in Other States</i></h4> + +<p>More churches have been federated in New England than in any other section +of the United States. Familiarity with the success or failure of these +churches is therefore necessary to a reasonably full discussion of +interchurch coöperation. Accordingly information blanks were sent to a +number of these federated churches. The inquiries were expressed as follows:</p> + +<p>1. Date of Federation?</p> + +<p>2. Denominations of constituent bodies?</p> + +<p>3. Membership of each church at the time of federation?</p> + +<p>4. Denomination of the first minister and of succeeding ministers?</p> + +<p>5. Do the people like the present arrangement better than the old?</p> + +<p>6. Do many people want to go back to the old way?</p> + +<p>7. Have church benevolences declined or increased?</p> + +<p>8. How has the pecuniary support of the ministry been affected?</p> + +<p>9. How have other expenditures of the church been affected?</p> + +<p>10. Has attendance declined or increased?</p> + +<p>11. Has church membership declined or increased?</p> + +<p>12. What effect, if any, has the formation of the federated church had upon the social life of the community?</p> + +<p>13. Kindly express frankly your opinion of the federated church as a means of securing Christian unity and church efficiency.</p> + +<p>Fifteen churches replied. In these fifteen federated churches were +thirteen Congregational churches, nine Methodist Episcopal, seven<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg 70]</a></span> +Baptist, and one Universalist. The Universalist was federated with a +Congregational church, two federated churches were made up of Baptist and +Methodist, five of Baptist and Congregational, seven of Methodist +Episcopal and Congregational.</p> + +<p>The first ministers of four of the federated churches were Baptists, of +five, Methodist Episcopal, and of five, Congregational.</p> + +<p>One of the churches had had an experience of sixteen years, one of eleven, +two of eight, two of six, two of five, two of four, two of three, three of +two, making the average experience of the fifteen federated churches more +than five years.</p> + +<p>Of the fifteen answers to question 5, thirteen said that the people liked +the present arrangement better than the old, while the other two said +there were not many people who wanted to go back to the old way.</p> + +<p>In reply to question 7, eight declared that the benevolences had +increased, three that they had remained the same, one said benevolences +varied in different years, while in three the benevolences had declined. +In one of these the decline was very slight and there was a prospect of an +increase in the future.</p> + +<p>In thirteen the support of the ministry has been favorably affected by the +federation. From one the answer is ambiguous. In the case of Truro, +Massachusetts, where one church had a membership of three and the other of +eight, at the time of federation, the answer indicates a decrease in the +amount given to the salary.</p> + +<p>The answers to question 9 indicate that the running expenditures of the +churches are often less and that the money is more easily raised to meet +them.</p> + +<p>To question 10, nine of the answers denoted an increased attendance, five +no noticeable change. No church reported a decrease. In one case the +answer was obscure.</p> + +<p>The answers to question 11 report that eight have increased in membership, +five have remained stationary, one reports normal additions, and one a +slight decrease.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[Pg 71]</a></span>In answer to question 12, twelve churches reported a favorable effect upon +the social life of the community, two recently formed reported that there +was no marked effect yet, while one gave no answer. All but one of the +correspondents cherish a strong opinion that the federated church is the +best arrangement when a community is overchurched and the churches are +small. One pastor of a federation had nothing to say.</p> + +<p>The following are the replies to the request made at the end of the +questionnaire, “Kindly express frankly your opinion of the federated +church as a means of securing Christian unity and church efficiency”:</p> + +<p>1. “Nothing to say.”</p> + +<p>2. “I do not see any reasons why two or more churches of Congregational +form of government should not federate, but it would be difficult to +federate with Episcopal form of church government.”</p> + +<p>3. “The efficiency here has been greater since these churches federated +than it was before. No church could support a pastor. The Baptist Church +had been pastorless for three and a half years. The Congregational Church +was supplied by students from Hartford Theological Seminary. Now they pay +a fair salary and give free use of parsonage. Federation is the best +solution of overchurched communities.”</p> + +<p>4. “The federated church should be adopted in rural communities and in +many small cities. I see no other way to bring the church into its place +as a social and religious power.”</p> + +<p>5. “It is my opinion that for a community that is like this one a +federated church is a great means to secure Christian unity and +efficiency. At our last meeting there were but two who were not +enthusiastic for its continuance. Our field here would be much better if +there were not another church in the community outside the federation. +There is still the Unitarian Church outside the federation which +necessarily makes a divided leadership in the small community. Our +federated church has grown from two small churches to the position of +dominance in the community. Our decrease in benevolences is largely +explainable and excusable perhaps in that it occurred during the time when +there were so<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</a></span> many other things to take care of, relative to the +federation. It will not happen again, but for a part of the time we were +without a pastor and during the rest of the time exceedingly busy getting +things adjusted.”</p> + +<p>6. “We are thoroughly satisfied. Each church in denominational +relationship (the Methodist Episcopal and Congregational) is as +independent and well organized as before federation. Each church is +stronger than before federation. We look forward to the day when +federation will be the rule in overchurched communities for the sake of +the good of church and community rather than from pecuniary necessity.” +This opinion was expressed after an experience of sixteen years of the +federated church.</p> + +<p>7. “Having been pastor of the federated church in Somerset for three years +I am glad to be able to say that I unqualifiedly recommend federation as a +solution of the overchurched problem in country and village. Wherever +there are genuine Christian members, federation will work perfectly.”</p> + +<p>8. “It is a great help in small places.”</p> + +<p>9. “Our federation has been a great success. Perfect harmony seems to reign.”</p> + +<p>10. “A strong church can do better work alone, but two or more weak +churches should unite in the support of one minister. A federated church +gives opportunity for denominational loyalty and connections. This is +important.”</p> + +<p>11. “This is a small town, only about 435 population, but it is a summer +resort and during the months of July and August a great many city people +attend church. I am pastor of this church and North Thetford, another +federated church about five miles south. It is about the only way these +churches could be run, for both are small places.”</p> + +<p>12. “This federated church is in a flourishing condition. During the +present pastorate since May, 1914, 31 have been received into the church. +The building has been remodeled at a cost of about $3,500, all paid but +$300.00.”</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_73" id="Page_73">[Pg 73]</a></span>13. “It is the most efficient means of securing Christian unity and church +efficiency ever discovered. It is the ideal way.”</p> + +<p>14. “I am convinced of the sincerity of Christian unity and of the +possibility of church efficiency, but it has not really approached that +reality any more than some denominational churches have in rural centers. +But it is a wholesome and generally satisfactory plan of religious service +in a community of changing personnel. In the community is quite a large +Catholic element and also a very progressive and influential Universalist +element. This remains in our midst practically unassimilated as yet, after +a dozen years with no services in their church. The children are coming +into the Sunday school pretty well and time will overcome some of these +obstacles.”</p> + +<p>15. “It is the reasonable and only possible means in this and many other +communities in Cape Cod, but it needs energy and aggressive effort to +succeed.”</p> + +<p>In the face of the fact that a very large proportion of denominational +rural churches are on the decline, the experience of these fifteen +churches constitutes very strong evidence that the federated church is a +practical means of securing Christian unity and increased church +efficiency in small overchurched communities.</p> + +<p>In order to learn whether or not it is true that only the more successful +churches replied to the questionnaire, we have by other means secured +information in regard to certain churches which did not reply. Some of +them were found to be as successful as those which did. For example, the +federated church of North Wilbraham, Massachusetts, the constituent bodies +of which are Methodist Episcopal and Congregational churches, has greatly +increased in membership, attendance, and in the influence it exerts for +various kinds of progress in its community. It would be very difficult to +find any country church, either denominational or federated, whose record +for service is better.</p> + +<p>In two cases in New England where the federated church has failed, it was +reported that the pastors regarded the federated church as a<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_74" id="Page_74">[Pg 74]</a></span> temporary +expedient and tried hard to change it into a denominational church. Such +action would necessarily be regarded as a breach of faith on the part of +one of the churches, and disaster might well be expected to follow. The +authors know of no experience which indicates any inherent weakness in the +federated church, nor so far as they are aware is there any evidence that +a federated church has injured the denomination of any component church. +On the contrary, a very large majority of the small churches which have +united with others in such federation have gained rather than lost, with a +resulting benefit to each denomination concerned.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_75" id="Page_75">[Pg 75]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_VIII" id="CHAPTER_VIII"></a>CHAPTER VIII</h2> +<h3>OTHER PROGRESSIVE CHURCHES</h3> + +<p> </p> +<h4>1. <i>A Church Federation</i></h4> + +<p>In the village of Shiloh in Richland County are two churches, Lutheran and +Methodist Episcopal, each supporting a resident pastor. Each seems to be +strong enough to sustain alone its ordinary activities. For this and other +reasons there has been no desire to unite the churches into one +congregation. But they had both neglected to provide means of meeting many +of the community’s needs, such as <ins class="correction" title="original: opportunites">opportunities</ins> for social life, +recreation, and athletics, or to stimulate others to make provision for +them. As usual under such conditions, gambling and other amusements of a +questionable sort became more or less common. In order the better to look +after the needs of the young people and to strengthen the moral life of +the community, a committee representing both of the churches was appointed +to provide and carry out a program for the community welfare.</p> + +<p>One of the features of this program is a successful movement for the +promotion of the social, athletic, and play life of this and neighboring +communities. The life of the neighborhood has been made more attractive, +especially for the young people, while some of the forms of petty vice +have disappeared. Union services are frequently held by the two churches. +In every way their work is becoming more effective.</p> + +<p>This form of coöperative organization may be called a church federation, +but it should be distinguished from the federated church, which is the +union of two or more churches into a single congregation. In every rural +community where it is neither feasible nor desirable to unite all the +churches under the leadership of one pastor, a church federation should +be<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_76" id="Page_76">[Pg 76]</a></span> formed to create conditions favorable to the development of Christian +character, to hold community religious services and social gatherings, and +to render all forms of social service which are needed in the community, +but are not rendered by other institutions.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>2. <i>Coöperation with Other Social Forces</i></h4> + +<p>Where there are social organizations other than school and church it often +happens that the churches can get better results by working with them. An +example of this kind of coöperation may be found in White Cottage, Newton +Township, Muskingum County. Here the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal +Church made a thorough survey of the community in an area which included +four churches. He then prepared a sermon on the much needed country life +movement, and sent a personal letter to every family in the area covered +by the survey, inviting its members to come and hear his sermon. Large +numbers responded. Then a mass meeting was called to discuss the +situation, and the results of the survey were set forth. A committee was +appointed to draw up a constitution for a community betterment +organization. At a second mass meeting it was adopted. Under it every +member of the community became a member of the association. Every social +organization in the community was given equal representation on the +Executive Committee, which has standing committees on programs and +publicity, on religion and social service, on education, on recreation and +physical culture, and on finance.</p> + +<p>A general cleaning up of the community followed. An unsightly square was +transferred into an attractive playground, where every Saturday afternoon +there was basket ball, volley ball, croquet, tennis, track athletics, or +baseball. A library and public reading room was opened, a temperance +program was adopted, farmers’ institutes were established, and lectures on +agriculture and home economics were given, together with a Chautauqua +course of lectures for winter and summer, and a series of home talent +plays. There were three holiday picnics each summer, and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_77" id="Page_77">[Pg 77]</a></span> field day +exercises with a parade, platform meetings, and a community dinner.</p> + +<p>Other results of this movement are a fine new school building with a large +auditorium, and greatly improved roads. Moreover, a favorable reaction has +been felt in the churches. Whereas, formerly but 37½ per cent of the +population were church attendants, now there are 58 per cent; where +formerly 40 per cent of the people went to Sunday school, now there are 52 +per cent. The whole community shows a higher moral tone.</p> + +<p>While the churches at White Cottage were not united in any organic way, +yet a spirit of Christian unity was brought about. The very best of +feeling exists among the different churches, and their members work +together gladly in community improvement. As the result of such an +atmosphere the evils of overchurching are reduced to a minimum, and it +becomes easier to bring about such reorganization as may be for the best +religious and social welfare of the community.</p> + +<p>Organizations of coöperating rural social forces, like that at White +Cottage, for many years have been doing good work in other states, both +East and West. In large numbers of communities, particularly where the +churches cannot be federated, or where bitter feeling has resulted from +interchurch competition, the best method of progress is often to bring +about such a coördination of forces in the service of the community +itself.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>3. <i>Community Service and Christian Unity</i></h4> + +<p>Ashley, in Delaware County, is a town of about 600 inhabitants. Here a +resident pastor’s desire to serve his community resulted in Christian +unity. Twelve years ago there were four competing churches, poorly +attended and struggling for existence. Camp meetings of a fanatical sect +were often held in the neighborhood. In the churches of the town seasons +of protracted meetings were characterized by excessive emotion at the +time, but by few permanent good results. While respect for religion is +necessary to a high degree of moral and social life in any country +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78">[Pg 78]</a></span>community, a large proportion of the people in Ashley no longer respected +the church because of the character of its religious activities. Many of +the most influential citizens even doubted whether the church was good for +the community or not. High ideals were conspicuously lacking among the +young people, and disorderly conduct was beginning to appear.</p> + +<p>In the year 1907 the Methodist Episcopal Church acquired a pastor who by +nature and training was well equipped for his work. Fortunately he was the +only resident minister in the town, where he remained for nearly ten +years. As the result of his leadership the whole community now has a high +regard for religion and the church, while a practical Christian unity has +been brought about and interchurch competition has disappeared. The moral +and religious atmosphere of the place has become wholesome.</p> + +<p>Community life has been made attractive through special instruction and +entertainment, social gatherings, athletics, and all kinds of healthy +amusement.</p> + +<p>There still are two churches, but one of them meets not oftener than once +a month, is attended by only two or three families, and has ceased to be a +factor in the life of the community. The other church is well attended and +is generally recognized as the community church. The members of the two +churches which have dropped out have, for the most part, united with it, +while the building of one of them has become the gymnasium of the +community church.</p> + +<p>Though the work of this successful pastor was begun before the modern +country life and country church movement had been developed, his program +and methods of work in no way differ from those which are common to the +nation-wide movement. In fact large numbers of country pastors, widely +scattered over the United States, entirely independent of one another or +of the literature of any special movement, have made and carried out +programs for church and community betterment which in their essentials are +substantially alike. The pastors have all studied the needs of their +communities and have tried to meet them. Similarity of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[Pg 79]</a></span> needs in the +different communities has naturally resulted in the adoption of similar +programs.</p> + +<p>The pastor who did at Ashley the work just described began by making a +thorough study of his parish. He then led the young people into active +work for their community, and later on stimulated the older men to do +their part also, until finally it became recognized in Ashley that the +duty of the Christian and the church is not to work mainly for the church, +but mainly for the common welfare and the development of all the people.</p> + +<p>This minister never emphasized any form of sectarianism. He thought of +himself as pastor of the whole town and countryside rather than of his +church alone, so that whatever he did was entirely free from the spirit of +competition. The people did not fail to recognize his aims, and, in +consequence, were satisfied with his leadership. Thus it became possible +for him and his church to work to satisfy the needs of all the people. The +Presbyterians and Friends, therefore, willingly joined his church and gave +up their own. But if in speech or deed he had attempted to build up his +own church at the expense of the others, there would undoubtedly be four +churches in Ashley to-day.</p> + +<p>The Ashley community church secured the creation of a community library, +itself provided a community reading room, gave special attention to the +day school and its teachers, held each year free university extension +lectures on agriculture and home economics, lectures on sanitation and +prevention of diseases, gave socials and festivals, promoted athletics, +maintained a church gymnasium, and formed farmers’ clubs and helped them +in their work. Though there were lodges in Ashley which held occasional +gatherings, still the church was generally recognized as the institution +which supplied the opportunities for social life for the whole community. +The church became preëminently the most democratic and most popular +institution in the town.</p> + +<p>Simplicity of organization was the aim of the pastor. Sunday school +classes, including a men’s Bible class, were organized, and were +stimulated to do their best to meet the social and other needs of the +community.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_80" id="Page_80">[Pg 80]</a></span> So well did they do their work that other organizations were +found to be unnecessary. One unusual feature of the pastor’s work was the +combining of the Bible school session on Sunday morning with the service +of the church, making one service of worship, at which communion is +administered and members are received.</p> + +<p>No collections are taken up in the church, but a budget is made at the +beginning of the year and the money is raised through a church committee. +Contributions for benevolences have been greatly increased during this +pastorate, and large sums have been spent for building and improvements. +Yet nevertheless the community did not furnish adequate support for its +pastor, undoubtedly because as in the case of nearly all pastors, he +refused to work for an increase in his own salary, while, as in nearly all +small communities, no one else took the matter up. In this respect, +therefore, the people acted unjustly towards their minister.</p> + +<p>It should be noted that the minister was well trained and of high +character; that he lived in the community he served; that he was given a +long term of service; and that he cherished a right conception of the work +of minister and church.</p> + +<p>Such work as this is badly needed in multitudes of communities in Ohio. It +is the only thing that can preserve or restore their wholesomeness and +make them suitable places for the rearing of children. The church, as a +whole, should spare no effort in providing large numbers of such men to do +this kind of work, for the total result of so doing would be an increase +of untold value in the strength of the very foundations of Christian +civilization in America.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>4. <i>Christian Unity by Necessity</i></h4> + +<p>In Ontario, Springfield Township, Richland County, there were three +churches,—Presbyterian, United Presbyterian, and Methodist Episcopal. +Because many of the best families had left, the Presbyterian churches have +held no regular services since the year 1900. For a time the Methodist +Episcopal Church shared a resident minister with three or four other<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_81" id="Page_81">[Pg 81]</a></span> +churches, but from 1912 Springfield Township was left without a resident +minister for three years. Under these circumstances it was inevitable that +social and moral decline should begin, for the modern community’s needs +cannot be met by the old-fashioned circuit system. More and more the +better families moved away or relapsed into the background, and the less +moral elements became conspicuous. A dance hall became the haunt of +disorderly people from neighboring towns. Drunkenness grew apace, while +bad language on the streets was altogether too common. Pilfering the +property of the railroad was more or less open. It was high time to act.</p> + +<p>Accordingly, the people of all the denominations and the non-church people +who lived in the township, realizing that it was going from bad to worse, +joined in deciding that a resident minister was necessary. Money was +raised, and the future support of a minister was promised if the Methodist +Episcopal Conference would send them a good man.</p> + +<p>The new minister began his work in the autumn of 1915. The total budget of +the church had been about $500, of which less than $250 went to the +minister’s salary. During his first year, $1,540 was raised, $900 of which +went for the support of the minister. In the second year no less than +$7,500 was raised, $1,000 for the minister’s salary, $540 for ordinary +expenses, while the rest went to the permanent repairs on the church +buildings.</p> + +<p>As in Ashley, so in Springfield Township; the pastor regarded his church +as a community church and thought of himself as a Christian rather than as +a sectarian. The attendance more than doubled both at the church services +and at the Sunday school, while the real membership increased from less +than 100 to 315. When the Presbyterians saw the manifest good that could +be brought by united Christian action, they became members of the +Methodist Episcopal Church, while later on they made a Christmas present +of their building to the Methodist community church. It is now used as the +house of worship, while the Methodist Church has become a gymnasium and +parish house.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[Pg 82]</a></span>Under the leadership of the new resident minister a genuine cleaning up of +the gross indecency was made, some of the most harmful characters left, +and the place became comparatively orderly. The village has been +transformed from a rural slum to a very decent community,—a safe place to +bring up children. This better state of things will undoubtedly continue +as long as the present system of church work prevails.</p> + +<p>The plan of this church’s work did not differ from that of many other +modern country churches. It included Sunday school classes organized for +social service, athletics, including basket ball, a full program of social +activities, lectures to promote an intelligent interest in agriculture, +and active interest on the part of the minister in coöperating with the +day schools and providing opportunities for intellectual advancement.</p> + +<p>The pastor declares that the work in Springfield Township was made +possible only because he could live in the community, because he could +give his whole time to this field, and because of the program of country +church service with which, through the Conference of the Commission on +Church and Country Life which was held in Columbus in 1915 and through +modern country church literature, he had become familiar. He asserts that +without the modern program and conception of the function of the country +church, success would have been impossible.</p> + +<p> </p> +<h4>5. <i>The Church as a Force for Righteousness</i></h4> + +<p>In the work at Ashley and Ontario we have seen the adoption of a good +program accompanied by improvement in the moral tone and religious +atmosphere of the communities. There are many other communities where a +similar program has been carried out, with the same results. These cases +constitute a fairly conclusive demonstration that the varied community +life which is stimulated and made possible by the modern country church +program is the normal one, and that without these various activities +general moral and religious health is impossible.</p> + +<p>The leadership of a modern country church minister brought about<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_83" id="Page_83">[Pg 83]</a></span> just +such an improvement in the community life of Old Fort. This pastor came to +realize the needs of his community by taking part in the Ohio Rural Life +Survey. One direct result of his work is a centralized agricultural high +school, which will become the means of keeping the best families on the +land instead of letting them move to the larger towns in search of better +schools for the children. Once gone they rarely return.</p> + +<p>The young men of Old Fort, who formerly had little to do with the church, +are now active in its work. Special attention has been given, in a +neighboring parish served by the same minister, to the farm laborers and +tenants. Whereas formerly these people rarely went to church, now as large +a proportion of them take part in the activities of the church as of any +other class. This is an achievement of real importance. It appears from +Map 12, which is based on data from the United States Census, that, in no +less than 54 of the 88 counties of Ohio, more than 25 per cent of the +farms in the year 1910 were operated by tenants. On Map 13 it appears that +in no less than 50 counties the number of farms operated by tenants is +increasing. Here is one of the great obstacles in the way of church +progress in the State, for it is well known that farm tenants usually take +little interest in the community where they live, while only a small +proportion of them are members of the church. Until reform in the system +of land tenure can be brought to pass through legislation, it is most +important that the church shall give special attention to the tenant +families.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[Pg 84]</a></span></p> +<p class="center"><span class="smcap">Map 12</span></p> +<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/map.pg84tmb.jpg" alt="Showing by Counties Percentage of All Farms Operated by Tenants" /><br /> +<a href="images/map.pg84.jpg"><small>Larger Image</small></a></div> +<p> </p> +<p> <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_85" id="Page_85">[Pg 85]</a></span></p> +<p class="center"><span class="smcap">Map 13</span></p> +<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/map.pg85tmb.jpg" alt="Showing Increase (+) or Decrease (-) Per Cent in Number of Farms Operated by Tenants Years 1900-1910" /><br /> +<a href="images/map.pg85.jpg"><small>Larger Image</small></a></div> + +<p> </p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_86" id="Page_86">[Pg 86]</a></span>Success in this parish, according to the testimony of the minister, is due +to the program brought to light by the modern country church movement. +Indeed, we have observed no notably progressive country churches in small +communities where the new country church program has not been an essential +factor of success. Lakeville is a case in point.</p> + +<p>In the village of Lakeville, as in a large proportion of Ohio rural +communities, opportunities for wholesome recreation were few. The church +not only felt no responsibility for providing a better environment for the +young people, but looked upon matters which have to do with recreation, +entertainment, and physical development as foreign to it. To give them +attention was regarded as beneath its dignity. This attitude, both here +and in a large proportion of the rural churches, has been responsible in +no small degree for a general moral laxness in communities, and often for +the separation of the young people from the church.</p> + +<p>The moral and social conditions in Lakeville have been revolutionized by a +resident minister in three years. His conception of his work and the +methods he used did not differ materially from those of the pastors of +Ashley, Ontario, and Old Fort. Every wholesome feature of community life +was regarded by him as a matter of interest to the church. Thus, to +promote a deeper interest in agriculture, lecturers and demonstrators upon +various phases of it were invited into the community.</p> + +<p>Under the leadership of this minister a wholesome, normal, interesting +life, leading to the high development of the young people, and a marked +increase in the general happiness of the community, has been brought to +pass. The excellent auditorium of the consolidated school was made the +social center of the community. The pastor and the members of his church +were the initiators and chief supporters of the program of recreation, +instruction, and entertainment which was carried out largely in this +building. Although in Lakeville the church wisely kept itself in the +background in much of its work, its activities were none the less +effective, while this policy also reacted favorably upon the church +itself.</p> + +<p>Although there were two churches yoked together in this field, they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_87" id="Page_87">[Pg 87]</a></span> were +but a mile and a half apart, and the parish was therefore compact. +Consequently the pastor could and did make much of his pastoral work. The +close touch of the minister with the members of his church and community +greatly added to the effectiveness of the evangelistic services which he +held, for he befriended those who had need of friends. Hence there was not +only a large increase in membership, but the results of it promised to be +of a durable character.</p> + +<p>It will be noted that the minister was pastor of all the churches in the +community and so encountered none of the difficulties which come from +interchurch competition.</p> + +<p>The kind of community service which is illustrated at Ashley, Ontario, Old +Fort, White Cottage, and Lakeville offers abundant opportunity to a young +man of good equipment for using his knowledge and native ability, and +should therefore attract a better type of man to the rural ministry. The +church as a whole should be active in presenting it to young men, for the +purpose of getting the best of them to enlist in it. The conservation of +the high character of our rural population depends on just such work.</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_88" id="Page_88">[Pg 88]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="CHAPTER_IX" id="CHAPTER_IX"></a>CHAPTER IX</h2> +<h3>AGRICULTURAL COÖPERATION A MUCH NEEDED SECULAR ORGANIZATION</h3> + +<p>No program for the conservation and improvement of rural life will succeed +unless it provides for the successful promotion of coöperative +agricultural business organization. Even if all the reforms we have +suggested are made, the need to stimulate, assist, and guide the business +organization of farmers will still remain. Strong modern country churches +will not flourish in unprogressive communities whose business is not +successful.</p> + +<p>Rural business must be effectively organized to enable the farmers to get +a just money return for the service they give. A sound economic basis for +a more attractive rural life can be provided in no other way. Through +training and experience in successful coöperative enterprises, farmers may +achieve a greater degree of solidarity, and acquire a larger share in the +direction and control of industrial, political, and economic life of the +Nation. With it will come larger respect for rural occupations, an added +prestige and attractiveness to agricultural life, and the chance of real +success for the modern country church.</p> + +<p>The field of agricultural coöperation cannot be filled by any government +agency. However excellent the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, under +which an agricultural adviser will be placed in every county in the United +States, however valuable the instruction and advice of the State +Agricultural Colleges, when the Government and the churches have done all +that can reasonably be expected of them, the task of organizing rural +business will remain undone until it is accomplished by the farmers +themselves, acting through associations of their own which are formally +allied with neither church nor government.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_89" id="Page_89">[Pg 89]</a></span>Conclusive evidence on this point is supplied by more than fifty years of +experience in Europe, and by somewhat less in the United States. Within +the past five years an attempt to promote coöperative agricultural +business organization has been made by the National Government. It failed, +in general, because the Government cannot successfully undertake such +work, and in particular because special interests which were making large +profits by the exploitation of farmers had laws passed which effectually +defeated the attempt. Within the past three years agricultural agents of +the Government in Ohio who attempted to promote a coöperative movement +among farmers were forced by similar interests to abandon the work or +leave the county where they were employed. It is well known that the +faculties of certain State Agricultural colleges, though fully aware of +the need for sound coöperative agricultural business, do not attempt to +give instructions in its principles because of the effective opposition +they anticipate from persons and corporations whose business makes their +interests hostile to those of the farmer.</p> + +<p>If the Government cannot meet the whole need, no more can the churches. +Business coöperation, which they should encourage but cannot supply, is +indispensable. For more than fifty years churches and clergymen in Europe +have been rendering most effective service in the promotion of coöperative +agricultural organization in business. In America likewise they can and +should be of essential help in the same good work, for the principles of +successful agricultural business are in close harmony with Christian +ethics. Moreover, the social and moral effects of coöperative business on +communities and individuals are of a most favorable character. In the year +1913 Mr. Gill was present at a meeting of representatives of government +agricultural departments of fifteen nations, where it was asserted that +agricultural coöperation was the application of Christianity to the +business of the farm.</p> + +<p>Rural business, however, should not be organically allied with the church +any more than it should be with the State. While the ministers and +churches may do much to educate the farmers in regard to coöperation,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_90" id="Page_90">[Pg 90]</a></span> to +interpret it, to increase the good results of it, and in many ways give +valuable assistance to it, the movement for coöperation can only be made +successful when promoted by voluntary secular organizations entirely +independent both of church and state.</p> + +<p>Coöperation is most needed where the people are poorest. In such districts +it is easiest to inaugurate it, and then by demonstration to show the high +and important character of its benefits. From the poorer regions it tends +to spread into the richer ones and in this way to diffuse itself widely.</p> + +<p>Not long ago it was found that farmers in Pike County were selling their +eggs to merchants for 16 cents a dozen when in the towns nearby the market +price was 25 cents. Almost the entire potato crop of this county in 1916 +was handled by middlemen at a profit of more than 100 per cent. Fruit +raising could be made most profitable in large parts of Ohio which at +present are not prosperous, but without coöperative organization the +difficulty of marketing fruit is very great. In the purchase of farm +implements, fertilizers, and other supplies, great savings to the farmers +are undoubtedly possible.</p> + +<p>There are few regions where coöperative organization is more needed, and +would be more likely to succeed, if properly directed, than in +southeastern Ohio.

Under the title of “Episcopal Bodies” are grouped +denominations comprising 2,721 churches, or more than the total number of +the Presbyterian and Congregational combined.</p> + +<p>The Methodist Protestant Churches are not placed in either of these groups +because their polity resembles, in some respects, that of the +Congregational and in others that of the Episcopal churches. Authority +with them rests largely in the local church, which owns its property and +has authority to receive and dismiss its own members, but in other +respects resembles closely the churches of the Episcopal order. In the +fourth group are 82 other churches or religious organizations which we +have failed to classify. The Catholic bodies, including Greek and Russian, +number 253.</p> + +<p>Differences as to church polity are not sufficiently great to constitute a +dangerous obstacle to the progress of church unity among the Protestant +rural churches of Ohio. Our system of universities and public schools, +together with the custom of reading religious articles, books, and other +literature without regard to the denomination of the author, is tending to +remove theological differences as between denominations. It may be said it +has already removed them in the eleven denominations represented in the +Committee of Interchurch Coöperation. This is true whatever differences +may still exist between individuals.</p> + + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_109" id="Page_109">[Pg 109]</a></span></p> +<p class="center">TABLE E</p> +<p class="center"><span class="smcap">Churches Grouped According to Their Polity</span></p> + +<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" summary="table"> +<tr><td colspan="3" align="center"><span class="smcap">Congregational Bodies</span></td></tr> +<tr><td><span style="margin-left: 2em;">Total</span></td><td><span class="spacer2"> </span></td><td align="right">1,601</td></tr> +<tr><td>Baptist, including Free, Free Will and Missionary</td><td> </td><td align="right">379</td></tr> +<tr><td>Disciples</td><td> </td><td align="right">367</td></tr> +<tr><td>Christian</td><td> </td><td align="right">228</td></tr> +<tr><td>Congregational</td><td> </td><td align="right">135</td></tr> +<tr><td>Christian Union</td><td> </td><td align="right">92</td></tr> +<tr><td>Friends</td><td> </td><td align="right">84</td></tr> +<tr><td>Mennonite</td><td> </td><td align="right">56</td></tr> +<tr><td>Church of God</td><td> </td><td align="right">54</td></tr> +<tr><td>Union</td><td> </td><td align="right">40</td></tr> +<tr><td>Universalist</td><td> </td><td align="right">39</td></tr> +<tr><td>Colored Baptist</td><td> </td><td align="right">38</td></tr> +<tr><td>Disciples, Non-Progressive</td><td> </td><td align="right">32</td></tr> +<tr><td>Primitive Baptist</td><td> </td><td align="right">21</td></tr> +<tr><td>Seventh Day Advent</td><td> </td><td align="right">13</td></tr> +<tr><td>Advent Christian</td><td> </td><td align="right">12</td></tr> +<tr><td>United Baptist</td><td> </td><td align="right">5</td></tr> +<tr><td>Nazarene</td><td> </td><td align="right">5</td></tr> +<tr><td>Seventh Day Baptist</td><td> </td><td align="right">1</td></tr> +<tr><td> </td></tr> +<tr><td colspan="3" align="center"><span class="smcap">Presbyterian Bodies</span></td></tr> +<tr><td><span style="margin-left: 2em;">Total</span></td><td> </td><td align="right">1,192</td></tr> +<tr><td>Presbyterian</td><td> </td><td align="right">396</td></tr> +<tr><td>Lutheran</td><td> </td><td align="right">362</td></tr> +<tr><td>Reformed, including German Reformed</td><td> </td><td align="right">175</td></tr> +<tr><td>Brethren (German Baptist)</td><td> </td><td align="right">113</td></tr> +<tr><td>United Presbyterian</td><td> </td><td align="right">77</td></tr> +<tr><td>German Evangelical</td><td> </td><td align="right">48</td></tr> +<tr><td>Calvinist Methodist</td><td> </td><td align="right">12</td></tr> +<tr><td>Reformed Presbyterian</td><td> </td><td align="right">8</td></tr> +<tr><td>Slavic Lutheran</td><td> </td><td align="right">1</td></tr> +<tr><td> </td></tr> +<tr><td colspan="3" align="center"><span class="smcap">Episcopal Bodies</span></td></tr> +<tr><td><span style="margin-left: 2em;">Total</span></td><td> </td><td align="right">2,721</td></tr> +<tr><td>Methodist Episcopal</td><td> </td><td align="right">1,793</td></tr> +<tr><td>United Brethren</td><td> </td><td align="right">521</td></tr> +<tr><td>Evangelical Association</td><td> </td><td align="right">129</td></tr> +<tr><td>Radical United Brethren</td><td> </td><td align="right">95</td></tr> +<tr><td>African Methodist Episcopal</td><td> </td><td align="right">40</td></tr> +<tr><td>Protestant Episcopal</td><td> </td><td align="right">39</td></tr> +<tr><td>United Evangelical</td><td> </td><td align="right">27</td></tr> +<tr><td>German Methodist Episcopal</td><td> </td><td align="right">27</td></tr> +<tr><td>Free Methodist</td><td> </td><td align="right">27</td></tr> +<tr><td>Wesleyan Methodist</td><td> </td><td align="right">27</td></tr> +<tr><td>Moravian</td><td> </td><td align="right">4</td></tr> +<tr><td>Primitive Methodist</td><td> </td><td align="right">1</td></tr> +<tr><td> </td></tr> +<tr><td colspan="3" align="center"><span class="smcap">Catholic Bodies</span></td></tr> +<tr><td><span style="margin-left: 2em;">Total</span></td><td> </td><td align="right">253</td></tr> +<tr><td>Catholic (Roman)</td><td> </td><td align="right">248</td></tr> +<tr><td>Greek Catholic</td><td> </td><td align="right">4</td></tr> +<tr><td>Russian Catholic</td><td> </td><td align="right">1</td></tr> +<tr><td> </td></tr> +<tr><td colspan="3" align="center"><span class="smcap">Other Bodies</span></td></tr> +<tr><td><span style="margin-left: 2em;">Total</span></td><td> </td><td align="right">293</td></tr> +<tr><td>Methodist Protestant</td><td> </td><td align="right">211</td></tr> +<tr><td>Holiness</td><td> </td><td align="right">25</td></tr> +<tr><td>Brethren (O.

(This +number of inhabitants having been selected by the United States Census as +marking the line between urban and rural, we have necessarily followed.) +In the strictly rural townships and the rural sections of townships which +are partly urban or suburban, there is altogether a population of more +than two million persons, and 6,642 churches.

Being intended to present the facts only as to the rural part +of each county, they should not be used as representing entire counties or +the State as a whole.</p> + +<p>In the ten-year period from 1900 to 1910 there was a decline in the +population of the strictly rural townships of 3.6 per cent. In only 21 +counties out of the total of 88 did the rural townships increase in +population, and most of these are in mining and manufacturing regions. In +the strictly agricultural parts of Franklin, Fairfield, Miami and Licking +Counties there was an increase of from 2 to 5 per cent, in Medina and +Wayne of less than 1 per cent. In the other 67 counties there was a +decline, ranging all the way from 1 per cent in Erie, Geauga, and Hamilton +to 17 per cent in Paulding. The average population of the strictly rural +townships varies from 904 in Knox County to 2,743 in Miami, and averages +1,448 for the State.</p> + +<p>The number of rural churches for a county varies from 32 in Sandusky and +Lake Counties to 130 in Washington. The number of churches to a township +is five for the State, but varies from 3 in Portage, Huron, Delaware, +Geauga, Cuyahoga, and Ashtabula Counties to 9 in Allen and Stark. The +average number of persons to each country church is 280 for the State, but +varies from 182 in Vinton County to 433 in Cuyahoga. The number of open +country churches varies from 5 in Butler County to 82 in Washington.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_125" id="Page_125">[Pg 125]</a></span>The number of churches with a resident minister varies from 9 in Jackson +County to 45 in Wood. The number of churches without a resident minister +varies from 17 in Lake County to 103 in Washington. Those with full time +service of a minister vary in number from 1 in Pickaway, Noble, and +Jackson Counties to 25 in Columbiana and Wayne. In one county, Wyandot, +there are no churches without some part of a minister’s time.

cross. Lines connect each church with +the residence of its pastor. Therefore the maps show for each church +whether it receives the whole or a part of a minister’s service, and for +each minister how many churches he serves and the distances he must go to +reach them and the various parts of his parish.</p> + +<p>The capital letters adjacent to each square indicate the denomination of +the church. The figures in parentheses and next to the square indicate the +enrolled membership. The figures not so enclosed indicate the resident +membership. The abbreviations, Inc., Sta., and Dec. indicate whether the +membership is increasing, stationary, or declining. Increase or decline in +membership, however, is only indicated where it was possible to find the +membership of ten or five years ago. When the figures for ten years ago +are available, these are taken as a basis for comparison with the +membership at the present time. Often the records of the churches are so +kept as to make it impossible or very difficult to find the membership of +either five or ten years ago.</p> + +<p>Shaded squares indicate closed churches. These have no minister and hold +no regular services.</p> + +<p>Abandoned churches are indicated by black squares. It is believed that +large numbers of them were not reported.</p> + +<p>Churches marked “Not Organized” do not appear in the tabulations.</p> + +<p>In the northwest corner of each township is given its name, while +underneath are figures indicating its population. The large circles in the +township indicate cities or towns of more than 2,500 inhabitants. Figures +in parentheses indicate the number of their population, which number is +included in the figures for the township. But in each case where they are<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[Pg 146]</a></span> +not in parentheses the town or city is itself a township.

The several churches should be officially represented on a joint +committee who shall act for the circuit not only in employing the common +pastor, but also in learning and meeting all needs, religious and social, +which require coöperation and concerted action.</p> + +<p>In the forming or re-forming of circuits it should be brought to pass that +the various fields served by one pastor should be as close together as +possible. To make the minister’s field as compact as possible, +interdenominational circuits should be formed.</p> + +<p>The rural ministry should, it possible, be so distributed that in each +township there shall be a resident pastor.</p> + +<p>Measures to prevent the recurrence of over-churched conditions should be +taken by every branch of the church. Each should determine not to organize +churches where they are not needed or certain to be needed. In a new +community needing but one church, an expression of the people should be +obtained as to the choice of the church to be established. The desires of +the largest number should be followed.</p> + +<p>Where several little churches exist in a sparsely settled community and a +union or federation is not possible or advisable, consideration should be +given to the plan of having all these withdraw, and inviting a branch of +the church not represented locally to come in and organize a single +church.</p> + +<p>In the exchange or withdrawal of churches reciprocity should be at least +State-wide in its extent.</p> + +<p>Where a denomination is given control or dominance in a community by +withdrawal of other denominations, the continuance of that control or +dominance should be conditional on the church and minister maintaining in +their service a high degree of efficiency—the standard of efficiency to +be determined by the denominational leaders who should formulate a few +simple principles by which the usefulness of a church can be measured. The +denomination holding a field should, for a reasonable length of time, +report to those withdrawing as to progress.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center">Printed in the United States of America</p> + + +<p> </p><p> </p> +<hr style="width: 50%;" /> +<div class="adverts"> +<p class="center">The following pages contain advertisements of a few of the Macmillan books on kindred subjects.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center"><strong>RELIGIOUS HAND BOOKS</strong><br /> +(<i>New and Not Reprints</i>)<br /> +Each Sixty Cents</p> + +<p> </p> +<p><b>THE NEW OPPORTUNITY OF THE CHURCH</b></p> +<p class="center"><span class="smcap">By ROBERT E.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/33587-h/images/frontis.jpg b/33587-h/images/frontis.jpg Binary files differnew file mode
