The country church of ' today is not the country church of fifty years ajro; yea I might say twen ty years ago and too I might add that it doesn't take a close obser ver to notice a marked change within the past ten years. The transition is rapid and there must be some cause for it. - You ask me what I mean when I say there has been a change. Your old grandfather or grandmother who has attended the same church for seventy-five years can answtr the question more intelligently than I can, in fact my idea for this sketch was obtained from a conversation with a Godly old man who deplores the fact that relic ion has lost its power, not only in some city churches but scores of rural churches as well Of course this condition is not universal, but if it is prevalent in some localities. I know country churches that only a few years ago were alive with the Gospel of Christ and novr they are spirit ually dead. To attend a service in these churches now seems more like you were present at a lecture in some public hall than the pace where the gospel was being expounded. The atmosp here reminds one of a December day. , It the above is true there must be some cause for it. Let us see if we cant find a few of the caus es for the present drift of many churches away from the old time religious customs. How many of the younger readers ever attend ed a service where no organ was used, but some saintly old man "raised", the tune of "Nearer my God to Thee," "What a Friend we Have in Jesus," "Jesus Lav-1 er of My Soul" and other of the old hymns that will live through out ages. If you attended such a service and didn't feel the power of the Holy Spirit you were in deed a hardened sinner. Such a service was enough to touch the heart of and infidel. When I refer to the service without the organ don't under stand me as being opposed to its use in the churches: far from that, I believe the organ can be made a great power! for good if the proper person is organist. In many country churches the ad vent of the organ was the death of the church. Now let us Icon aider the best possible way 1 for the organ to be used for the glory of God. It Is not the organ but organist that kills , the religious fervor of a service;1 I do think that any one who has not ex perienced the love of God in his or her heart and who is unedu cated in music should be debarred from holding the exalted position of church organist. Better throw the organ out of doors than let such a person kill the power of the services. How many have made the expression that if a cer tain person is organist or sings in the choir I am going to stay away." ask an 01a peron 10 compare the revival ot fifty years ago with the one of today. Young as 1 am. I can remember when the altar wouldn't hold the pentitents when the invitation Was given in revival meeting in the home church and when the invitation was closed some good old Christ ian knelt beside each "mouner" and pointed him to the Way of r.if. Onlv a few years ago I ,J.' -want, ti fAw ftAv ht home during the summer revival. The pastor one of the best in the State, had labored faithfully for a week and when a call for pentitents was made after a heart touching ser mon, there was not a response out of the t congregation of several hundred, the majority of Voung people and known to be out of Christ. Won't someone tell us why the gospel has lost its hold on the people in this particular section? What is true of the section just mentioned is true of hundreds of sections throughout this and oth er States. Something must be done and that quick, or the church will be nothing more than a mere playhouse. Now let us see if we can't find a few things that look like they are responsible for the state of affairs' mentioned above. Sometimes during the meeting referred to the pastor asked the head of families in which family prayer was held, at least once a day, to raise their hands. Not a hand went up. He then wanted to know how many had occassion al prayers in their homes, and one out of the entire congrega tion responded. Oh! May the day hasten when a family altar will be erected in every Christian home throughout the land. No matter how far from home the young man, who was raised in a home where family prayer was a daiy eveptw.ajjders the influence , of that home will follow him, and no doubt some day be the meant of leading him to Christ. My opinion is, that the abolishment and failure to establish the fami- ly altar, is responsible for the greater part of the loss of inter est in the churchesf of today. - What has become of the ' old time pastor that threw his saddle '. bags across his horse and started , for the neighborhood of one of his country churches about Thursday before his appointment, on Sunday ? His coming was looked forward to with a high de gree of pleasure by every mem ber of the family he visited. He would usually spend several days visiting among "the members" generally from Thursday , until Monday., Now the preacher hur ries out on Sunday morning and preaches, he will wait to eat, din ner with someone near the church before hurrying back to town, but usually he hurries back to his town or surburan church where the greater part of his time is spent. I know pastors that have served country churehes for seve ral years and have never darken ed the doers of some members of their congregations. In many places today the country church .... is only considered . a side line. Pastors, give you r country churches' more attention and the best fruits of your labor will be found there.
