Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ministry in Rural Communities
I do not believe that the institutional church is practicable, if it is desirable, in most country districts, at least under present conditions. It is better to draw a pretty clear line between the interests of the church and the interests of the town, and to take up each kind of work independently of every other kind. Let each interest have its own special organization. But we do need somebody to lead in such work as the Y. M. C. A. Is doing in athletics, lectures, classes, and in directing the energies of the young into wholesome channels. The man who is fitted for this work will find enough to do.
In many of our rural communities the minister is often the only educated man of leisure, the only man competent to lead; and in such cases the more he really knows about all sorts of things, the better it is for the community, if he has tact enough to use what he knows in practical and judicious ways.
