(HIWH!.; . Under the above heading Andrew Ten Eyck. writes the following time ly article for July Outlook: This query is made of a rural chbreh because the question nas been asked by its pastor. I suspect that it might be made with equal propriety concern ing an urban church, for the anxieties of thoughtful pastors aud parishion ers in city and country alike find "Smith not coming to church," and are querying why. Recently I was in a community of two thousand people In Maryland. There were six churches there ? Epis copal. Methodist Episcopal. Protestant Methodist. Baptist. Presbyterian. Cath olic. Not one of these cnurches had a self-supporting-sised congregation, I was told. I asked one church officer how they paid their minister. "Oh." said he. **the bank pay* htm, and then, when the notes come due. the bank gets after us and we dare a fair or entertainment to raise the money." I live in a rural community that is somewhat hotter off tnan this rural Tillage, for the church, or rather its pastor, has a constituent for burial rites and marriage ceremonies of about 1.9*9. thouch the roster of mem bership is around 300 One night re cently a rather cheap musical play | was given in this church to an audi ence that taxed its capacity Some were turned away In the sermon on Sunday, to a large number of vacant pews, the pastor rightfully asked why people will crowd to entertainments and avoid Sunday service. The poin ted remarks of this pastor have gone the round* in this community, and in casual contact with the thought stir red up I find the frank expression of why people do not owtne to church. Th* station agent tells me the story of his spiritual life from ? boy; of | how be was nac^ punished for beinK | tardy for service, and dates his apathy from that incident. The rest of his ?tory is as follows^ \ ? "On OhritiiBia Morning ? toUpwfcat my punishment my father awakened ffljhjrocttfPT who aafl come from a. dlki tance. and myself to attend chtH4eh.I' didw t go. My brother went The' day fra loft W ge.u?ol* ? u> ? iwe work and asked ray fatner for the jfirlce 61 t!he ticket 'to Yeturn, Sufipect MJf tad a rsHitttL tlcKet. I Manned 4o *H%cov?r the fraud, and when I dfd jny4|)roth?r said, 'Don't tell father.' But, afterward, when 1 got into soma disagreement with my father, i" toTif htm,' ami asked htm if it were rror tme that he did not like me as well as my brother because 1 didn l go 10 dLUrctl *?d wy brother did. Ho suid ? yea. Then I told him of my brother's dis honesty in the matter of the ticket. Some few years after this I used to go to hear a Baptist minister preach be cause he was a great preacher and said things I understood, and helped me in m^Uife I go now when I can hear men like that." Another tells me he goes to church but seldom because it doesn't take hold of him as it used to. One says he would like to go. but has no way of getting there, some three miles, unless he walks. My mo tlier tells of her mother, in the early days of the nineteenth century, walk ing nine miles to attend church. The ex-soldier who the pastor says is a spiritual disappointment because in the matter of church-going he does not show the high spiritual develop ment he was said to have reached in the war by the complacency into w biqh he has sunk in the midst of the humdrum of affairs, tells n story some thing like this: Spiritual development? 1 wonder ? v ell, the war was broadening. We got used to hearing a Catholic service at one end of the field and a Protestant .?! fhe other. Catholic and Protestant service was read alike c*er the dead, sometimes in ignorance of the belief of the dead. But war ft art a brutaliz ing aspect. We were in ;? profession, and In a crisis where only tat? strong est could hope to survive. We thought much, overmuch perhaps, of our sto machs In the army, of mess, of sleep as we had once known it in terms of] beds and bad-covers. We were so i constantly overworked antf overdrill ed that our chief desire was to escape. In a way, I guess we got to fearing death less because it (Tiitn t make i much difference whether we met it or . not. It couldn't be much worse. We | felt that way And being amongst fellows whom you woutd roll up un der the blankets with one night and I lant like trees in the ground the next sort of made It human for things to happen that way; sort of walking the valley without fear. I guess. So. you see, the thrag the Church taught us tt> U?r w? dnn'i rcnw. and it 1 rt U l very pear to us. ' . vypco of non church-goers In this community. If -plays were given instead of ser mons. wruilri the pr.wn he Ailed. ? Xhfi. people attend this real and perhape [typical rural church, but not as mapy fas should" Men talk under the sheds ^ crops, atitomotrtle tfrete, shift gttog [ bar na. taxes, politics; women speak in the vestibules of forthcoming suppers and the latest gossip; but not" of the sei flee. Thes?- people go^ -to ? wWr tainments in the church, and when they lcavre every ong has somt? aottott aHT th(% plav- They talk aboijt it. 1 Is . iha-?harch sefvfce less real than the plays. or~d? people xea>?t different ly toward it? I do not believe people are less spir itual today. My neighbor comes ov ei into the orchard this afternoon, and we both marvel about a bursting ap ple blossom, and talk Jn * little while of the resurrection. My friend the | station agent tells me he would like to hear a preacher wno would use words like those Christ used. He talked of hungering, thirsting, the jsalt losing It savor, of caudles, moth, and rust, of fowls, reaping, lilies and grass, fruit, mustard seeds, vineyards, fishermen, of carpentry, foxes, birds, swine, and went to eat with the cus Itoms officer. Matthew, and ^h.e folks outside of the fold. He got into the lift- of the common folks. Why can't the ministers do that today? Then we would understand." ^ Does the Sunday paper take the place of the Sunday service? Why don't they come to church? I ask it [not that I can answer it. bur. because I believe there is in nxist people a real latent spiritual sense that Is hunger ing for satisfaction Does my friend the station agent state a reason, and do my comrades say something most soldiers feel? Meredith Nicholson, in the ''Atlan tic" in 1^12. wrote. "Should Smith go tc Church?" These year* nud the war have done little to t hange the sit uation concerning which he wrote. All I wish to say here is that most peo pie have a spiritual nature; more peo ple would go to church If they found satisfaction for that nature in the service. For myself. I have, found that satisfaction in the fhurch. and out or the Church in places I least ex pected. One such experience came to me at two o'clock one morning fn France. We were breaking t amp tn the open on a beautiful hillside sloping to a ri ver. The mist was hanging in a per ceptible cloud just over us. and above was the clear starlit sky. I stood sen try where I could see the picture. Re veille sounded, and in nrteen minutes, hv on* tf^U'll "f h.lf trttt, but by six hundred hands, as many Citndl?s were lit before as many dog tents. The mist became raps of pur ple light, and it was as tiiough some magic ftupertoiirh .had- created eaored ? I atmosphere for one's^thougaL -Bresk- - ing cam^" tor - whither we knew not, one's thoughts . "w ere of the mUfeHQyrn, I scr?bbled~j3n a . piece of paper and tucked it into the rear of a leather photograph case I always carried. It reads: 'In the constant presence of death one reaches spiritual development th*t ho coirm wtw udffrwtw attain. for the v<sualj7-nfi?n rlJgfrhniiTTi of the flesh throws dependence on the Indissoluble spirit. Perhaps this is the spiritual glory of war. It is too bad that most of humanity passes away without knowing it. I think I (have talked and walked with God in ?the last few minutes. It was so very real, very human. I know I won't | mind the hurt if if, comes and I don't gu back. I'll be with friends in a lit tle while. ""There isn't muce hero stuff connected with this over here. It is unattractive, brutal work, but I guess 'it is the biggest thing \n the world I now. It does not mean so much loss of Individuality for the sake of a com Liuy >11 good, but actual realization or st.lt through sacrifice for an ideal.. Ideals are intangible, and for days it has seemed as though there weren't any: but I believe they have never been as real and as near thi; surface. Perhaps this experience will reveal in the way we react to it what kind of men we are fundamentally because of the way we react to These ever-chan ging new daily experiences. I guess that is the one satisfaction we will get out of this. " -x My scribblings ended there. I UD thankful I "have carried them back., my self. It was one of the experiences I had amongst mud. mess, and army doldrums. I speak of it to assure tnv pastor of son be spiritual stirrings as a soldier. anM also to assure him there was not. in my army life at leasr. very much of the high spirituality said of it We seemed to live, from reveille to taps, fretty much for the belly's sake, un conscious of spiritual changes within. Perhaps the Church needs the test ings of some great, rapid, -soul-sear ching experience. Perhaps it needs to lift us out of the clay that is stick ling to our feet and holding us to th?* humdrum afTairs of life. 1 merely want to say that the common feelhigs most of us have contain the embry?? of the spiritual that yearns for nur ture. for growth.
