The Week in RELIGION
~ Relisious News service.

Changes in the habits and lives of
Americans as a result Of the war are
showing q marked effect upon tho
Nations religious life.
The most widely-known result OF
wartime conditions is the transfer
of clergymen from civilian pulpits
to the chaplaincy Of the armed
forces, thus creating an increasing
shortage of ministers on the home
front. Other changes, however, have
also had a disrupting effect. One
of these is the growing scarcity OF
Sunday school teachers along with
other types OF teaching personnel
who have been drafted into the
armed forces
The dearth of Sunday school
teachers was officially revealed this
week by the international Council
OF Religious Education. which point
ed out that between 1939-40 and
1941-42 the number Of officers and
teachers in Sunday schools fell OF
81 per cent to a total Of 2,006, 1920.
During the same period Sunday
school attendance increased 4.6 per
cent to a total OF l9 ,359 ,059.
To meet the situation, according
to the council. many schools are
finding it necessary to double up
on classes: the result is crowded
rooms and less attention to lessons.
Church leaders are also attempt
ing to meet the teacher shortage by
recruiting older men as instructors
and by utilizing young people be-
low the draft age, either as teachers
or as teachers assistants, a survey
by Religious News Service this week
indicates. In some instances young
sters of IS are now serving as teach
ers, where previously youth under
NJ were rarely accepted.
In regard to attendance, church
officials believe that current gas and
tire rationing has caused a drop in
the number of Sunday school pupils
in some areas, especially in the
Northeast, although the gas situa-
ton has not had much adverse
effect upon church attendance.
Vacation Church Schools.
In some communities the number
of vacation church schools opened
this summer has also dropped be-
cause OF an acute shortage Of teach
ers. but In other areas a vigorous
campaign by church leaders against
Juvenile delinquency has resulted in
an increased number Of such schools.
Protestant churches In Southern
California. for example. have estab-
lished 800 vacation church schools,
equipped TO occupy the idle hours of
youngsters whose parents are in war
work
Another serious wartime problem
facing religious leaders is the drop
in church membership caused by
changing populations. Many thou
sands of church members have
moved from their home communi-
ties to war industry centers The
home church loses these members,

at least temporarily. Since Gov
ernment studies have shown that
less than Is per cent OF war work
ers have any desire TO 60 back TO
the communities from which they
came, the loss, in many instances,
may be permanent.
DR.. Walter E. Woodbury., director
OF the department OF evangelism OF
the Northern Baptist Convention,
stated this week that Northern Bap-
tist churches may lose from 100 900
to 1000 members In the next two
or three years. at the present rate
OF population fiux from small towns
to war industry centers.
Presbyterian Churches.
The annual report Of the Board
OF National Missions OF the Pres
byterian Church. in the United
States OF America declares that
Presbyteries in rural areas where
there are no neighboring industrial
areas have lost as much as one
quarter of their church populations
along with their strongest lay lead
ership.
DIR. ]. w. Behnken. president Of
the Mission Lutheran Synod. said
that 10000 Lutherans of the Mis-
souri, Synod have moved during the
past year and one-half.
These figures do not indicate that
churches are due to face widespread
losses in membership during this
war period. Balancing the picture.
TO some extent, are reports which
show large attendance increases in
war Industry centers. However. the
danger OF such losses exists unless
church leaders are successful in
enrolling war workers as active
church members in the commune
ties where they are now residing.
The task of relocating church
members who have moved to war
industry communities is one of the
principal wartime objectives of the
various denominations. Some church
groups have established special
commissions to further this task,
The Disciples of Christ. largely a
Middle Western denomination. ha,
Just launched denomination wide
campaign to achieve this purpose.

PRAYER

BY MRS. H. r. GREENFIELD
Payer is a desire. Prayer is be-

at all about it. except just in
choosing to be with Him. Per

mountain with Him. Perhaps He
will take you into the night with
Him, or into the mist where you
will not be able to see Him. Per-
haps you will be with Him in pain
or in Exaltation, or in happiness,
or in tiredness. He just gently
says, Come to Me-" and you say,

stipulation, that is not your part.
You know He wants you, and you
know what kind Of wanting you

He knows if you will not come.
He does not leave off wanting you.
You know that if you come to Him.
He will ask you to help Him about
the Kingdom. That He will in the
end give you that work for it that
no one else can do. For He will
bring you into the Fellowship Of
His friends. But of course you
Will also go with Him before His
enemies and the things that they
say about Him will be said about
you. And you will also go among
the people who don't care whom
