Excerpt from The Lutheran Church in the Country: A Study, an Explanation, an Attempted Solution

Much has been written on the country church problem by men outside of our church. We can learn from these writers. We have used them in preparing this book. But there is much in them that we as Lutherans cannot use. After all, we are different. The Lutheran Church has principles, doctrines, conceptions, methods, and a spirit that are all her own. We need to look at the country church from our own viewpoint.

The problem is not as acute among us as it is among others. But there are clouds and rumblings on our church sky also. In some spots the Lutheran Church is also declining in the country. If we do not study the situation and guard against the dangers then we also will have to suffer. Forewarned is forearmed.

Our prayer is that this book may assist and encourage our country pastors. Their work is important. Their opportunities are great. Their sky is big with promise. God bless them.
