BENTON HAS GOOD
CHURCH RECORD
Church Statistics Show That
This County is Above Aver
age for the State

A larger proportion of the people
of Benton county are Protestant
church members and attendants than
in most other Washington counties on
which statistics are available, accord
ing to figures tabulated as the result
of the Interchurch World Movement
survey, recently completed in this
county.
1t is estimated that for the Inland
Empire, as whole, noc more than 10
per cent Of the population are church
members. Surveys have shown that
in Garfield county only about 8 per
cent of the population are Protestant
church members, in Boundary county,
Idaho, only 2 7-10 per cent and in
some other Washington counties the
per centage runs as low as per cent.
But in Benton county II per cent of
the people are recorded as members
of protestant churches.
While these figures appear higher
in comparison with other counties in
the northwest, the efficiency of the
protestant churches of Benton county
show room for improvement. Of the
twenty-five churches only ten have
resident pastors, and only two of these
pastors give their whole time, each. to
one church. These two churches are
the Kennewick NJ. E. and the Cong
regational. Two churches in the
county have only occasional services
and three were listed as vacant at the
time of the survey. Eight churches
have nonresident pastors-that is the
pastors who no not live in the imme-
date locality of these churches be-
cause they serve more than one church
The Interchurch World Movement
considers that unless church has the
full time service Of one pastor, it is
not up to par.
The population of, Benton county is
given in the survey as 1882 and the
total protestant church enrolment as
1893, an average of 66 members per
church. There are twenty-four Sum
day schools in the county with total
enrolment Of 1853, an average total
attendance of 1892. There are 3034
children of school age in the county
with 1882 enrolled in.the public scho-
OILS. The survey indicates that 500
children of school age are not in the
public schools. The Sunday school
enrolment shows that 55 per cent OF
the children of school age in the coun-
ty are attending some Sunday school.
The study of such conditions as this
is one of the main purposes OF the
county Interchurch conferences which
are being held this month in nearly
every one Of the 5000 counties in the
United States.
The conference in Benton county
will be held at Kennewick, April Is.

progress of French foreign trade.
In foreign commerce France, dur
