Washington Hebrew Congregation re-
marked that "the religious institutions
Of Washington have a great response
bility to reach out to the newcomers and
invite them to join in worship, in which
their strength will be renewed in the
influence of their faith" Like other
religious leaders here. Rabbi Gerstenfeld
said the dual strain of war work and
living conditions finds most people
serious minded.

Washington, in my opinion" he added.

ties in wholesome environment"
Churches Are Crowded.
Church attendance is large every Sum-
day, and no longer does a pastor have
to resort to the old saw of wishing his
congregation Merry Christmas at Easter
because he won't see many of them again
for another year. DR.. Tippy says.
Many pastors report the largest eve
ming service attendance in many years"
DR.. Tippy continued. Several churches.
among them Mount Vernon Methodist
and Calvary Baptist, find it necessary to
hold two morning services each Sunday
in order to accommodate those who de-
sire to worship. There has been tre-
mendous spiritual upsurge here"
The Right Rev. James E. Freeman
Bishop of Washington, said the people
of his communion and others are think
ing much more seriously about the
eternal verities.
"The moral issues Of this war are more
sharply drawn than was true in the last
war;" Bishop Freeman stated. THE
present war finds the forces OF Chris
tianity being challenged for their very
existence by anti Christian enemies. The
moral issues involved are provoking
deeper reflection. Pearl Harbor had a
SOLDERING effect on Washington and
America"
Had the Bishop noted an increase IN
attendance at the Cathedral?
"Yes, decided increase he said. "On
many occasions the Cathedral's capacity
and it seats 2,600-has been taxed. 1t
Is filled for the union services.
IN my confirmation missions I find
church attendance in the outlying par
ishes to be much larger.
"A closer cooperation among WASH
tngton churches is notable develop
ment. There is finer feeling Of COM
radeship evident to churchmen and lay
men alike.
People Serious.Minded Here.
"An churches should extend their
influence and facilities to men in the
armed services. not just on Sundays, but
every day in the week am impressed
with the deepening interest in religion
to be noted in Washington"
Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld of the
Evening star., 1942-05-17

George Washington did lot Of pray
ing In the SHOWS of Valley Forge. In
1912, the city named after him seeks
solace from war strain in prayer and
good works-as reflected In increased
church attendance here, and entertain
ment OF men in the armed services.
Ministers tell story OF a serious
minded Washington-a side OF the Capt.
tails life not suggested by references to
parasites, politicians, boondoggling and
alleged general gayety. Religious leaders
say Washington has a surface gayety-
the gayety Of spring and flowers, smartly
dressed women and night clubs-but be-
meath this exterior there is noted
hunger for companionship-the loneli-
ness Of young women in particular, who
have come here from small towns and
villages-young people with a definite
religious background
Some Protestant churches are COM
PEELED to hold two services each Sunday
morning to accommodate the worship
pers. Extra masses have been arranged
by many Catholic churches.
Twofold Church Program.
It has been said often that man Is
incurably religious. Washington churches
began feeling the population influx a
year ago To meet the changing con-
ditions, churches set out to offer two
fold program: religious guidance and
recreation In wholesome environment.
In the process change IN social con-
cepts has been wrought, too. Some
churches which frowned on dancing as
. church recreation program now are
sponsoring dances for servicemen.
An eminent divine, commenting on
gasoline rationing, pointed out the
church again might become the roman
tie center Of community life. Many a
present-day grandfather met the girl
Of his dreams at church in the pre-
automobile era.
To get an accurate figure on increased
church attendance here would necessi-
tate . survey Of several hundred pastors.
Leading ministers and organized church
bodies say they have noted an appre-
eiAble increase.
