The unity of the farm family is a
vital facto which makes the rural
area a fertile field for the activities j
of the church. The farm family is
one of solidarity—the husband and 1
wife were probably reared in the |
same community, their parents and j
their grandparents,on both sides were 1
probably engaged in agriculture. \
They are bound not. only by a com-
mon inheritance but by common inter- j
ests. The two families are probably \
members of the same church, with!
the same beliefs and common ideals. ;
The husband and wife, probably
sweethearts from childhood, are j
sweethearts to the end.
* * *
Not only are all the members of the
farm family bound together by the i
community of interest which grows
out of their pursuits, but they are in ,
constant fellowship around the hearth
of Lhe open fire. Radiators have 1
been a disintegrating influence in the
unity of family life. Where we have
radiators, each member of the family
may go into his room, but where the
heat comes from a common hearth-
stone there is fellowship either in
reading, studying or in conversation.
The lamp, the common table, around
which the family gathers, is also an
integrating power for the unity of the
family.
* * G
The family that gathers around the
open fire, that uses the same light,
and daily lias fellowship at meals,
can more easily maintain the family
altar than the one in the city which
is scattered by the multiplicity
and complexity of conditions in our
modern urban civilization. There is ;

Dr. C. W. Grafton, who has been
for fifty-eight years minister of an
open country church in Mississippi, in
speaking of the adverse experiences
and trials which have come to the
community of Union Church, of which
he is pastor, says: “Do you wonder j
how it is that an old country church
that has suffered .so much from death |
and removals could possibly survive ? j
Now and then one asks that question
and the answer is very easy. Our j

The family in the top picture was completely wined out, and a
brother of the father was also drowned, when a roa- in which the
live people were riding overturned off a bridge into swollen Prairie
creek, ten miles north of Tyler, Texas, last week. Pictured top, left
to right, are Robert Hughes, aged 7, Mrs. Sam Hughes, Claude, aged 5,
and Sam Hughes. The lower photo was found in Mrs. Hughes’ purse
when she was taken from the water. The dim sign, reading “Hughes
Bros. Garage,” made it possible for a reporter of the Tyler Courier-
Times to identify the drowned family as residents of Wright City,
Southeast of. Tyler. In the lower photo, Sam Hughes is left, and his
brother Ebb, also drowned, is next.
