The churched should lead in providing for the unchurched, and the overchurched might spare out of their abundance of workers and equipment some of the resources that are needed. The first concern of all the churches should be to reach the unchurched and to make church friends of the church-haters.
As a matter of fact, social supervision is often so lax that obscene moving pictures and cards that are driven out of the large cities are exhibited without protest in the small towns. Usually the village is overchurched, and consequently divided into pitiably weak factions whose controlling aim is self-preservation.
Moreover, in the city a person can usually find a denomination to his liking. In the country, even with the present overchurched condition, this is difficult. The ideal solution of the country church problem is to have in each rural community one strong church adequately supported, properly equipped, ministered to by an able man a church which leads in community service.
