Excerpt from The Church and Country Life: Report of Conference Held by the Commission on Church and Country Life Under the Authority of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, Columbus, Ohio, December 8-10, 1915 The surveys made during the last five or Six years indicate that conditions may be no better in other states. However, there is ground to hope that through interdenominational cooperation something can be done for improvement. While betterment can be brought about only by slow advancement, it is a matter of great importance that, even though slow, such advancement Shall be made. If the Commission in Cooperation with the people of Ohio and through correspondence with persons in other states can learn ways and means for the solution of the vital and fundamental problem of rural church decline, its service should prove one of the most important of those rendered by the Federal Council of Churches. The demonstration that it is feasible to make a state-wide survey is regarded as of some importance. If, as anticipated, the survey shall point out ways of betterment and the ecclesiastical forces of the state shall act successfully upon the suggestions to which it may. Lead, the survey work in Ohio and the program of the Committee on Church and Country Life will be justified by substantial results.
