Excerpt from The Evolution of the Country Community: A Study in Religious Sociology
The significance of the most significant things is rarely seized at the moment of their appearance. Years or generations afterwards hindsight discovers What foresight could not see.
It is possible, I fear it is even probable, that earnest and intelligent leaders of organized religious activity, like thousands of the rank and file in parish Work, Will not immediately see the bearings and realize the full importance of the ideas and the purposes that are clearly set forth in this new and original book by my friend and sometime student, Dr. War ren H. Wilson. That fact will in no Wise prevent or even delay the work Which these ideas and pur poses are mapping out and pushing to realization.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of rural communities in the United States, arguing that the country church and school serve as indicators of the overall health of these communities. The author traces the historical development of the country church and community through four distinct economic types: the pioneer, the land farmer, the exploiter, and the husbandman. Each economic type created its own kind of community, resulting in successive iterations of church and community. The book discusses the challenges facing rural communities and churches today, particularly the transition from the land farmer and exploiter types to the husbandman type. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of the country church in providing vision and inspiration to rural communities, arguing that their success is essential for the well-being of the countryside and the nation as a whole.
