A rural survey in Maryland, made by the Department of church and country life of the Board of home missions of the Presbyterian church in the . tZTn^o^/TneTt f-. Atte-ndi DIAGRAM NO. VIII the men in the churches. There are 5 mens organizations with a mem-bership of 82. Eighty-one churches have no organizations for theirmen. There are also 5 other organizations with a membership of total number of organizations of all sorts is 116, and the total mem-bership is 3,302. Twenty-six churches have no organizations except theSunday-school while 20 have none of any kind. It is a matter of surprise, in view of the usual method of conductingthe church finances, that there are thirty-three churches which areable to survive without a womans society to raise money. And infact few of the 33 are reaUy flourishing financially. The really weakpoint, however, is the absence of any organized effort to get and holdthe young people and the men.
