Sam N Varnell of Pincy Flats, Tenn , said Saturday morning at Lake Junaluska that : "the day when the little country ciHireh would do Its work by hav intt a preaching service once or twiicc a month and a revival in the summer with not much else going on Is fast disappearing." He continued that "modern j country people expect more of their church than this, and if the church doesn't offer more, it will iind itself passed by." The Rev. Mr. Varnell is the pas tor of the Pincy Flats Methodist Parish, which contains live country , churches. "The country church has to face the problem of small numbers of people in any one church with which to carry on an adequate cnurch prog ra m," t he speaker said "It further faces the problem of a lack of financial strength with which to carry on a complete church program."
