AS the European Recovery Pro-
gram worked its legislative way
through the House this last week
the floor leadership was provided by
Representative Vorys, Republican OF
Ohio, and other younger committee
members.
But Doc Eaton was there to let
the House-and the world-know
his convictions, convictions which
now have become q solid majority
base Of American opinion.
He put the issue this way:
The Supreme Task
Mankind stands today in a shat
tered no mans land between two
ages. One still in the throes Of
death; the other in the pangs Of
birth. The supreme task which now
confronts all peoples is the creation
of a new world civilization. The one
central issue to be decided is
whether this new world civilization
shall be founded upon freedom or
upon slavery"
The two competing forces, he said,
stand face to face. America the
champion of freedom as the basis
of all civilized life. Russia the
champion Of slavery as the basis Of
a world civilization without . soul.
This legislation Is an announcement
to the world Of our choice. Once
our choice is made we must 60 on
until victory Is won for ourselves
and for all mankind"
The House could not have pre-
sented Doc Eaton with q finer birth
day present last week than the
vote by which 1t passed his COM
mittee's European Recovery Pro-
gram bill.

living. inner fellowship Of Chris
tians in the world"
The growing sense Of Christian
unity ~ expressed IN the World
Council Of Churches, made it pos
sibls to have an ecumenical service
soon after the war. On February
20, 1915, in the Cathedral Of st.
Peter In Geneva, men came across
former enemy lines to unite in .
stirring service Of worship. The
Archbishop Of Canterbury led IN
prayer. Pastor Martin Niemoller of
Germany preached in French and
Bishop Berggrav in English.
The churches soon realized that
1t was only through united effort
that they could even begin to tackle
tho needs Of the war-stricken areas
Of the world. The story Of the de-
velopment and work Of the Recon-
struction and Inter Church Aid De-
partments Of the World Council is
one Of the most thrilling chapters
Of church history. The churches
Of the United States, Switzerland.
Sweden, New Zealand, Great Britain
and Denmark began pouring supplies
Of food and clothing into the areas
Of dire need. Barrack churches were
sent 20 that the spiritually hungry
people might have places for wor-
ship. Bibles and religious literature
were furnished by the tens Of thou
sands. Undernourished and tuber-
culous children were provided spe-
cial homes and camps. And today
the work of relief and reconstruction
is really only started. The refugee
problem is now greater than imme-
diately after the war. Morals in
many parts OF Europe is lower than
1t was when fighting ceased. Youth
are bewildered. Homeless young
men still roam the streets. False
fsrns" seek their allegiance. Hunger
and cold, insecurity and fear still
initiate against a new day. To
these needs the World Council Is
giving its best thought and energy.
Does Not Control Churches
This Council of Churches Is in no
sense to be q superchurch. The
proposed constitution specifically
states that the council is to serve
the churches and not to control
them. ITO spread the idea" says
DR.. Wiser t Hooft, that the coun-
Gil is really an attempt to establish
a centralized superchurch is, there
fore, q caricature Of the plan actual
ly before U.s." The Council of
Churches is to be a fellowship Of
churches In which each church body
retains its autonomy. In this fell
lowship, however, understanding and
appreciation one of the other. will
grow and together they can face the
increasing problems of bewildered
humanity and 3 sorely divided
world.
The word ecumenical, now used
to describe this movement of Chris
tian unity. Is a Greek term meaning
house or habitation. The ecumenical
movement, therefore. means the
coming together Of "the whole fam
lily Of God throughout the world"
The World Council of Churches as
it is offlcially constituted in Amster-
dam this summer is a most signifi-

Church membership in the United

survey,
The overall total of persons aff1l-
lated with Protestant and nom
Protestant religious bodies stands
at 77,386,188 for 1947. This repre-
sents gain of 3,713,O06 over that

80 non-Protestant bodies polled.
There are 46.149,676 members of
the 223 Protestant bodies, a little
more than go per cent of the total.
Roman Catholics report a member
ship Of 25,286,178, or about SO per
cent. and the Jewish congregations,
whose 1886 figure had been used in
lieu of later returns, had 4,641, 900,
or about 6 per cent.
Four Groups Established.
Protestant bodies were surveyed
by the Christian Herald by placing
them in four groups: Churches with
more than 100000 members, with
200, 900 to 100000, from $4,000 to
200, 600 and from 10000 to $4,000.
Eleven churches were placed in
the first category. Largest of the
denominations was the Methodist
Church. with 8,567,772 members.
This represents an increase of 137,-
626 over the 1916 figure Of S,430, ,146.
The Southern Baptist Convention
was second with a membership of
6,270,819 and the National Baptist
Convention. U. S. A., Inc, third with
4.122,315.
The other churches in this cate

1947 are: National Baptist Conven-
ton of America, 2,580,921; Presby-
terian Church in the U. S. A.,

members in 1947 to bring their to-
tai to 33,587,753.
Group two, with 10 churches,
showed the largest net gain, about
9 per cent, for l947. They added
TAB .809 members to bring their total
to 9,112,595.
The 20 churches in the third
category brought their membership
to 1,871,138 for 1947 with a gain
of 120,53G, while the 48 denomina-
tions in the fourth grouping
gained 15,702 members to bring their
total to 1,257,724.
The Roman Catholic Church dur
ing 1947 reported a gain of 866,049
members.
Losses were sustained by COM
paratively few churches during the
year, the Christian Herald report
stated. It added in most cases there
was a good reason for the drop,
though the official statisticians did
not always make the reasons public.
One flaw in the survey was the
failure of many denominations to
return reports on their church
memberships. The Christian Herald
