TWO-THIRDS OF THE COUNTRY
CHURCHES MAKING NO PROG

SHOWN BY MO. SURVEY
Appalling Conditions in Many States
to Be Met By Interchurch World
Movement Program.
Dr. A. W. Taylor, director of the
Missouri Rural Church Survey Depart
ment of the Interchurch World Move
ment, turned over to the pastors' con
ference recently held in Kansas City
some vital facts pertaining to partial
surveys made in the state, in which
he stated there were too many
churches in many given communities.
Similar facts with reference to sur
veys in Arkansas will be presented to
the conference of pastors from that
state, to be held in Little Rock, March
10-12, as well as in other states where
surveys are under way.
He declared that two-thirds of the
rural churches of Missouri are making
no progress and that 35 per cent to
40 per cent of them are actually slid
ing backward.
“Fourteen churches out of a score
in one Missouri county," Dr. Taylor
said, in speaking of the church survey,
“are ready to be abandoned.
Too Many Churches.
“Why are the churches failing in
this state? The answer is that there
are too many of them. The average
number of people in a church in rural
Missouri is 200. In some places there
is a church for each £0 souls. The re
sult is they are unable, in many in
stances, to obtain competent pastors.
There as so many Sunday schools that
skilled teachers cannot be found.”
Dr. Taylor said that it was com
monly believed that the country was
the home of churchgoers. The survey
was showing, however, he said, that
only from 16 to 40 per cent of the
population in rural Missouri attended
church, and he declared the showing
in the cities was better.
How the world of heathen countries
can be taken for Christ in a few years
with a united program by the Protest
ant Church was shown in the world
survey by means of pictures and maps.
The tremendous needs of the world,
which are challenging the church at
the present time, as shown by the
movement,'have thrilled pastors, who
are giving a burning new message tt
will mean much for the church
for the world.

Oyster Now Placed
On the Honorably
Retired List
The little oyster, once such an es
sential money-making factor in church
circles, is henceforth to be taboo. It
will be regarded by the Ladies’ Aid
Society as a thing to be shunned. Its
help to pay the preacher’s salary or
to plug the hole in the church roof
or to send a missionary to India or
Africa will no longer be needed.
Of course the oyster will get an
honorable discharge from the service,
for it did not desert, but was the
standby of the Ladies’ Aid Society un
til the women found a better way of
financing their obligations for promot
ing church work. That better way is
now being studied in practically all
the women’s church societies in the
United States, according to Miss Laura
J. Wright, superintendent of the Wom
an’s Division of the Stewardship De
partment of the Interchurch World
Movement.
“There will no longer be any need
for the women of otir churches to re
sort to all sorts of services for raising
money for church purposes when they
have learned of the better way which
the stewardship plan provides,” said
Miss Wright. “The acknowledgement
of the principle that God is the owner
of all things and that men and women
are the stewards makes church financ
ing easy. Wherever the stewardship
plan is put inJ*) operation, oyster sup
pers, bazaars, rummage sales and the
like in churches become a thing of the
past.”
GIVING IN PROPORTION
TO NEED
Giving in proportion to the need of
the world, which is recognized today
to be almost beyond human computing,
is the present-day spirit and message
of the churches. The Interchurch
World Movement has put before the
people of the churches an array of
facts, from its home and foreign sur
veys of conditions, that have startled
the world. The Stewardship Depart
ment of the movement is seeking k to
arouse men and women everywhere to
a sense of their duty in this particu
lar. April 21 to May 2 has been set
apart for the financial campaign of the
churches, when it is expected that
nearly $300,000,000 will be realized to
meet the needs for one year.
