Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rebuilding Rural America The Reverend Mark A. Dawber was born and educated in England. His aptitude for music led to special training in piano and organ at the London College of Music and he expected to make music his profession. He then became interested in the social movements of the day and studied at Ruskin College, Oxford, where he took both social studies and theological courses. Later he served in the educational department of a large consumer cooperative in Manchester. He took an active part in the development of the labor movement in England, being associated with the Independent Labor Party. Dr. Dawber came to America in 1911, and spent a year in special studies at Boston University School of Theology, Drew Theological Seminary, and Garrett Biblical Institute. He was challenged by the rural situation which he found here and accepted an appointment to an open-country circuit under the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was ordained to the ministry of that church in 1916. The success of his ministry in rural churches resulted in a call in 1919 to the chair of Rural Leadership in Boston University School of Theology. After six years in this professorship he was appointed to his present position, Superintendent of the Department of Town and Country Work of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In this capacity he has had unusual opportunity to study rural conditions in every part of the United States and Canada. He has lectured widely upon various aspects of rural life, and has been especially active in developing summer schools for the training of rural ministers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country Church in Industrial Zones: The Effects of Industrialism Upon the Church Life of Adjacent Rural Areas as Illustrated by Two Typical Counties The material in this book itself will present a composite picture of the religious conditions within these two counties. Certain ma jor problems which were found with more or less frequency in both counties are discussed, and all available information from either of the counties has been incorporated in the discussion. Thc open ing pages of the book give a summary of the condition within each county. While this method has obvious drawbacks, it is felt that the advantages outweigh them and that this treatment is the best one possible to bring out the peculiar conditions existing throughout this area. The appendices present the methodology of the survey and the definitions employed. They also include in tabular form the major facts of each county as revealed by the investigation. These appendices are intended especially to meet the needs of church executives and students of sociology who desire to carry investiga tion further than is possible in the type of presentation used for the main portion of the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Problem and the Catholic School One of the outstanding problems in American rural life today is to be found in the decline of the rural church. Surveys conducted in recent years point to this defect as one of the cancers that are eating the Vitals out of American public life. Religion must enter into the hearts of the people or evil looms up for the future. It is, indeed, only too true that the country church, both in Catholic and non-catholic circles, is not fulfilling the mission for which it was intended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country Church in Colonial Countries: As Illustrated by Addison County, Vt;, Tompkins County, N. Y. And Warren County, N. Y The Committee on Social and Religious Surveys was organized in January, 1921. Its aim is to combine the scientific method with the religious motive. The Committee conducts and publishes studies and surveys and promotes conferences for their consideration. It cooperates with other social and religious agencies, but is itself an independent organization. The Committee is composed of: John R. Mott, Chairman; Ernest D. Burton, Secretary; Raymond B. Fosdick, Treasurer; James L. Barton and W. H. P. Faunce. Galen M. Fisher is Associate Executive Secretary. The offices are at 111 Fifth Avenue, New York City. In the field of town and country the Committee sought first of all to conserve some of the results of the surveys made by the Interchurch World Movement. In order to verify some of these surveys, it carried on field studies, described later, along regional lines worked out by Dr. Warren H. Wilson and adopted by the Interchurch World Movement. These regions are: I. Colonial States: All of New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. II. The South: All the States south of Mason and Dixon's line and the Ohio River east of the Mississippi, including Louisiana. III. The Southern Highlands Section: This section comprises about 250 counties in "The back yards of eight Southern States." IV. The Middle West: The States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and northern Missouri. V. Northwest: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and eastern Montana. VI. Prairie: Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. VII. Southwest: Southern Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. VIII.

Download or read book By Products of the Rural Sunday School Classic Reprint written by J. M. Somerndike and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Products of the Rural Sunday School Increasing attention is being given to the Sunday school. This is due to the recognition that it has become the most important agency in the religious instruction of our youth. We do not refer to the Sunday school apart from the Church, but to the Church working through the Sunday school. We are beginning to realize that in America both the Church and the nation must depend largely upon the Sunday school for the Christian instruction of our boys and girls, as well as for the Bible study of our adults. Earnest efforts are being made to render our Sunday schools more efficient, so that better and more abundant results may be obtained from the work done in them. Consideration, however, has thus far been given for the most part to the larger schools in our towns and cities. It is well for us, therefore, to have our attention directed to the smaller rural schools. The majority of our Sunday schools are of this character. In many cases these schools are taking the place of churches in scattered communities. A church could not be supported, but a Sunday school can be carried on by the people themselves, and may become the center of the religious life of the neighborhood. The opportunities for Bible study and the development of Christian character in these schools are in many ways superior to those in the larger city schools. Few of us realize how vital and far-reaching is the influence emanating from these little schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Using the Resources of the Country Church The American people are just beginning to realize the need of the conservation of natural resources. There is evidence that the nation is slowly awakening to the necessity of a wiser use of natural wealth. The pressure of economic circumstances is emphasizing for the more thoughtful the importance of conservation. This idea of a better use of our natural resources is of the utmost social value. It augurs well for our future as a nation. There is equal need of our taking heed of our moral resources. Men and women are more important than natural possessions. The greatest human wealth is morality. It is this which separates man from the animal and makes social life on the human plane possible. Morality represents a great social resource. It needs conservation, for upon its wise use depends human progress. The country especially needs to conserve its moral resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and Country Life: Report of Conference Held by the Commission on Church and Country Life Under the Authority of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, Columbus, Ohio, December 8-10, 1915 The surveys made during the last five or six years indicate that conditions may be no better in other states. However, there is ground to hope that through interdenominational cooperation something can be done for improvement. While betterment can be brought about only by slow advancement, it is a matter of great importance that, even though slow, such advancement shall be made. If the Commission in Cooperation with the people of Ohio and through correspondence with persons in other states can learn ways and means for the solution of the vital and fundamental problem of rural church decline, its service should prove one of the most important of those rendered by the Federal Council of Churches. The demonstration that it is feasible to make a state-wide survey is regarded as of some importance. If, as anticipated, the survey shall point out ways of betterment and the ecclesiastical forces of the state shall act successfully upon the suggestions to which it may lead, the survey work in Ohio and the program of the Committee on Church and Country Life will be justified by substantial results.
