fewer BUT LARGER
CHURCHES INDICATED
Tendency Shown by Survey Con-
Quoted by Congregational
Churches of Country.

A notable tendency toward fewer
annual report of the Congregational
Church of the United States, accord
ing to Rev. Charles E. Burton, the
secretary.
The denomination reports a loss
of 10 churches, but an increase of
S322 members. The average mem
bership per church. taking the coun-
try over increased from 147 per
church to more than $50 members
per church. This is accounted for
by three reasons:
tion in cities from the country, thus
making the continuance of rural
churches impossible.
Second. the wide use of the automo-
bile allows many country dwellers to
go to the town church.
Third the growing spirit of church
union or federation. which brings
about the union of two or more small
churches of various denominations
into one strong church.
All this movement is for the good.
and Congregaticnalists are most will
ing to enter into any plan which will
stated. During the year just closed
thirty-three new churches were or
ganisei and l43 were closed or
merged into churches Of other de-
nominations.
Property values have increased by
sS,412,461, bringing it up to $132,-
SSS,237. Invested funds of the
churches amount to $15,343,94S. being
an increase Of $S24,550 in the year.
The annual budgets of the churches
reporting amount to $1S,26, 691, which
is s1,47s.936 more than for the pre-
ceding year. This does no. include
the benevolences of the churches,
which total s5,366.1s1. or s153.965
more than the preceding year.
Not including parsonages provided
for a considerable proportion of the
ministers, and exclusive of various
perQuisites, the average pastors sal
ary is shown to be $1,S54, as COM
pared with SITS one year earlier.
The value of free house rent and
other perquisites would probably
bring this average up to approx
mately $1,000 a year.
The benevolences Of the church
show an increase for the regular
causes of approximately 130 per cent
over the amount of money raised in
1918, at the close of the great war.
There were $3.50 new members
added to the rolls. 37.305 of these
being on confession of their faith and
the rest by letter from other churches
of all denominations.
The Sunday school enrolment is
shown to be 7So.375, a gain of 622 in
the year. The membership of young
peoples organizations totals 119.S09
an increase of 3,407.
