GREATER CHURCH
TO PRESBYTERIANS
FAR LESS THAN HALF PEOPLE
IN SOUTH CHURCH MEMBERS

ovington, Ga. March 22.-Of the en-
the 36,000000 population of the south
ern states, only 100000 are mem
bers of any church, protestant of
catholic, according to the statement
of the Rev. j. B. Ficklin. Of Covington,
campaign manager OF the Presbyter
ian Progressive Program in this
synod. This leaves 23,000000 without
any church connection.
These figures were compiled from
Il complete survey Of the entire field.
Z hey were taken from statistics in
states from West Virginia to Florida.
and Missouri TO Texas.
AS a result of its findings. the
Southern Presbyterian church is car
rying out general evangelistic move
ment of at least $4,000 new members,
it is hoped The apathy towards re-
ligion which is being exhibited at the
present time by many people must be
met by the stupendous efforts of the
church, according TO S. Waters Nc
Gill director of the Presbyterian Pro
gressive Program.
The family altar and stewardship
movements which the church is con-
ducting are expected to become great
vitalizing forces for religion. AS
part of the latter. 10000 tithers are
being sought.
