LUTHERAN CHURCH MOVEMENT BACKED
Waterburians to Emphas= ize Teacher Training and
 Home Cooperation

Zion Lutheran church of Water bury is joining in promoting an ad- vance in Parish Education, Rev. E, Einar Kron announced today. To- gether with more than a thousand churches of the Augustana Evan gelical Lutheran Synod, the local church is joining in this national movement. It is being promoted in response to decision of the Synod at its last annual convention call ing upon every one of its churches to launch movement to reach the unreached with Christian teaching. Special attention will be paid to equipment in the Church School, teacher training and home cooper ation.
 Statistics show that ninety-f1ve per cent of the criminals come from those who have received no system atic religious instruction, while only five per cent are from those who received systematic instruction in religion in childhood and youth. There is reason to doubt that Amer ican democracy can endure unless effective measures are taken to stem the tide of religious illiteracy that threatens the nation.
 It is with these facts in mind, as well as the desire to help each per son reach his highest possibilities, that several Protestant denomina- tionS are redoubling their efforts through the United Christian Edu- cation Advance, of which Parish Education Month in the local Luth- eran church is part.
 Further plans for carrying out the purposes of this project will be made at meeting of the teachers and officers of the Church School at 8 meeting in the church on Cherry street Tuesday evening.
