FEWER BUT STRONGER
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
Both practical common sense and applied Christ
ianity are shown by the agreement of the Baptist, Con
gregational, Methodist, Presbyterians, and Disciples “to
reduce the expenditure of money in over-churched com
munities." This means that they have decided to stop
competing with one another in Ii.ido towns and villages
and in rural regions generally. The idea is that it is
better to have one strong church than half a dozen v. eak
and struggling churches.
There was a time, half a century ago, when the
Protestant denominations had few fraternal relations.
This has passed. Denominational differences mean but
little to the modern Protestant. He finds it anomalous
when he tours the country to see a little village with a
population of one or two hundred, with three or four
churches. For the most part these churches need paint
ing and reshingling. He hopes their outward appear
ance is not an index of their inward and spiritual grace.
True worship under such circumstances suffers.
For the most part it is impossible for poverty-stricken
churches to obtain ministers of power and effectiveness.
As a rule their are not regular services each Sunday,
but one pastor will serve several congregations. This
state of affairs the Home Mission Council is determined
to remedy. The plan proposed is in operation on a
large scale in Western Canada and there it has been a
great success.

Jaek Allman, editor
Here we are, making our bow again just as we did
when we got out the first copies of the “Pioneer” on
August 22nd. But this time we are standing upon un
tried legs without the dependable financial arm of the
corporation to lend support. This issue of the “Pio
neer” is the first without the familiar ARRC in the mast
head.
Because it takes nickles to pay for fuel, paper stock,
stencils and the like, we cannot, as did the corporation,
put out hundreds of copies free of charge throughout
the camp and colony.
We will, however, distribute this and the next
