Excerpt from Rural Christendom: Or the Problems of Christianizing Country Communities
We have too long in easy imitation urged the Christian to rise from nature to nature's God. Spurgeon's thought is better, The thing is to go from nature's God down to nature; to know God first in his Word and then see him in his works It is after the morning communion with the heavenly Father that the hills and fields and sky are filled with him.
The growing nature study of the schools is extending into the country school, and is spurred on by great numbers of individual enthusiasts. It will inevitably lead to fine spiritual results as even in the rollicking verses of James Whit comb Riley.
