Book Description
Excerpt from Messages of the Men and Religion Movement, Vol. 6: The Rural Church Before attempting to state the prevailing conditions among rural churches and communities, it should be said that there are large areas in the United States in which rural churches thrive, and country people prosper. Broadly speaking, they are classified under the statement by an eastern professor of economics: "There are three classes of successful American farmers. In the order of their success they are, the Mormons, the Scotch Presbyterians, and the Pennsylvania Germans." These farmers have successful country churches. Their rural religious organizations have resisted the recent economic changes, which have so adversely affected other rural populations. And the organization of their communities is religious. Their churches are their social machinery for success in farming. Another statement, by a western agricultural college president helps further to define the territory of successful rural life in America. "Only those peoples," said he, "who brought from Europe a form of culture of the land have maintained themselves in the east against the competition of the western lands."
