Rural Views Halt Church Says Pastor
The Rev Charles Stelzle of New York told the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America in Rochester that modern churches fail to adapt to city life as many pastors are countrybred and misread urban laymen. Bishop Francis J McConnell was to be inducted as president today after a delay. Dr A E Holt warned rural churches need trained ministers due to farm-poverty limits. Dr C L Goodell cited commerce figures showing 214 fewer schools and 147449 fewer Sunday pupils in 1926 than 1916.
