Pamphlet. Zustand: VG, stapled, in orig. wrapper. 24 p.; 21 cm. (A Reformed Journal monograph) Contents: 1. Saving the farm, 2. Farming and culture, 3. Faith and farm, 4. The biblical doctrine of creation, 5. The witness of example, 6. Rural development and evangelism, 7. Rural development, education and medicine -- `Man has been so created that before he can do anything to enrich his life and find its larger fulfilments he must be a farmer. He is a producer before he is a consumer; he is a reaper before he is a trader; he is rural before he is cosmopolitan. He may be an Abel who is a keeper of sheep or a Cain who is a tiller of the ground, but he is surely forced to be these before he has the leisure to be a Jubal to play the lyre and the pipe. The culture of the spirit has the cultivation of the soil as its primary condition. This is a law of man's created being.' (p. 4) -- `The traditional African farmer does not need teaching that his faith and his farm are inseparable; he believes it, and his belief is shown by the way in which many of his farm operations are linked with worship. For the Christian farmer it is rarely so; the many who are influenced by Western thought have, to their great loss, learned to separate the spiritual from the material in their lives. Their faith is very much a matter of what happens on Sundays, of prayer, Bible, and morals. To suggest that the Almighty is interested in such earthly things as seeds and soils is shocking; to imply that He is concerned as to whether or not we have a toilet in the home is sacrilege.' (p. 15).
