Capital Is Spiritually
Asleep, Cleric Says
On Eve Of Drive
Dr.. Fendrich Describes
Movement to Arouse
Interest in Churches

Speaking on the eve of drive
to bring new worshippers into the
Nations churches, the Rev. j. Low
rey Fendrich of the Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church last night pic
tured Washington as spiritually
asleep and lacking in vitality where
religion is concerned
He spoke at gathering of clergy
men and church officers of various
denominations, who today will join
IN the National Christian Nilsson S
crusade to increase church attend
ance and spread the teachings of the
Gospel. The meeting was held at the
pastors own church.
In these times of upheaval it
should be comforting to know" DR..
Fendrich said, that a movement is
afoot to restore the church TO its
prominent place in the world. Now
when the world is desperate and
civilization is trembling on the
brink-people must find God
House toulouse Calls Indicated.
Dr. Fehdrich indicates that men,
bers OF his congregation, as we'll as
those of all the churches mere ard
In 81 other major cities pa-ticipat-
Ing In the crusade, would be called
on soon to make individual house
toulouse calls to bring out more
church-goers.
Today's services in Washington
churches will mark the beginning
Of church loyalty" phase, calcu-
lated to arouse the interest of new
supporters and recall old worshippers
who have been lax in their at
tendance.
The program in which DR.. Fend-
rich spoke included remarks by DR..
George Bennett of Wilson Meth
,odist Church, president of the
Southeast Ministers Association.
DR.. William Darby. secretary of
the Washington Federation of
Churches. which is sponsoring the
National Christian Mission here,
and DR.. Edward Gabler of Christ
Episcopal Church.
DR.. Bennett outlined the achieve
ments of Southeast congregations
in the last year, citing the work
done by Bible and Lenten schools
Spirit Of Cooperation.
DR.. Darby said the "back-to-
church" movement was aimed at
rounding up those men and women
who have grown cold or indifferent
toward the church" 1t is neoes-
sary, he said, to develop "a fine
spirit of Christian unity and CO.
operation" and to ''instill a strong
sense of individual responsibility
In the layman.'
DR.. Gabler, citing the need OF a
solid front against the forces Of
evil in the world" said there are
some who might wonder why God
doesn't do something to put the
world right-but the answer to that
would be: Why don't the people
do something to help God?''
The invocation was given by the
Rev. B. I Barnes of North Carolina
Avenue Methodist Church and the
benediction by the Rev. Warren
Bowman of the Church of the
Brethren.
Prior to the program supper
was served in the church hall. A
solo was sung by Mrs. John Bull
Tough.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, those present we're reminded
that October has been designated
as World Wide Communion Sum-
day. Regular church-goers on that
day have been asked to make an
effort to have at least one member
of every family in their neighbor-
hood attend services.
