Church Of God
In Christ Has
Largest increase

New York 49, (ANP) - The
Church of God in Christ exper-
fences the largest increase in
church membership of any church
in the country, a statistical re-
search report of the National
Council of the Churches of Christ
in the U. S. revealed this week.
During the period of 1926-50,
the church had an increase of
1865 per cent in comparison with
other churches with a congrega-
ton of $4,000 or over. Its men,
bership jumped from 1880 in 1926
to $4,000 in 1850.
The report showed that other
churches with Negro members had
the following membership in
creases during the period studied:
The National Baptist Conven-
ton, US.A. Inc, and the National
Baptist Convention of America
were second with an increase Of
1918 per cent; the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church was third
with an increase of 1877 per cent;
the Colored Methodist Episcopal
church was fourth with an in
crease of SO per cent: and the
African Methodist Episcopal
church was fifth with an increase
of 16 per cent.
Chief reason for the Church of
God in Christ leading all churches,
the survey pointed out, was that
holiness sects" now are bringing
into their memberships not only
the socially disadvantaged, but
also considerable numbers of the
more fortunately situated persons
in the population.
Other holiness" groups which
had increases were the Church Of
God. 1925 per cent, and the
Church of Nazarene, 1857 per
cent.
Membership in the two National
Baptist Conventions Negro Bap-
fists in 1925 included both groups)
jumped from 2,196, 1913 in 1926 to
1901, 394 in 1850; in the AME
church jumped from 545,Sl4 in
1925 to 1,166, 30l in 1850; in the
CINE church jumped from 202,7l3
in 1926 TO 3s1, 900 in 1850, and the
AME Zion church jumped from
456,sl3 in 1925 to 53O,116 in 1880.
Meanwhile, total church mem
bership was about 81 per cent of
the total population. or S5,3l9,274,
the largest number ever listed.
The analysis showed that some
81 churches having more than
so, 900 members had about 9S per
cent of all the members Of the 256
religious bodies in the country.
In a breakdown, according to
the three major faiths, Protestan-
tism showed increases totaling
63.7 per cecnt; Roman Cathoh-
cism. $50 per cent and Judaism,
22.5 per cent. There were 2s,634,-
S78 Roman Catholics, 5000, 900
Judaists and 51.764, 1895 Protest
ants.

his committee report for action by
the park board.
After polling the progressive
members of the board, Haislet was
of the opinion that the Committee
recommendation would have lost.
If the "progressives" had voted
as a bloc when polled or as they
promised prior to the meeting, the
recommendation would have pass

The ''progressives" at the meet
ing were: Mayor Hoyer, H. C.
Knight, Thos. Mccarthy, Dale
Stanchfield, Edward Chalgren and
Edwin Haislet.
The meeting Wednesday was
outcome of action started by the
Twin City Golf association last
August, when the association sent
letter to the park board stating
that their members were not able
to gain admission to these five

cause of their race.
The letter also stated that a
rule of the Minnesota Golf AS

club from each course to be re-
cognized, they were not able to
get official handicaps that re-
suited in their being barred from
participating in sanctioned
tournaments.
The letter was referred to the
recreation committee for further
study and subsequent investiga-
ton by the committee revealed
that for all practical purposes
these clubs were private clubs OPP
Grating on municipal property
and that their members were
granted special privileges that
were denied to the rest of the
players using the courses.
When the committee report
was made public two weeks ago
several groups and organizations
and prominent citizens commend
ed the committee for its recon-
mendation and urged the park
board to approve the committee
report
Opposition to the committees
recommendation has never been in
the open.
Instead the club presidents and
their supporters have been call

telling them that to remove the
discriminatory practices would be
detrimental to the golfing inter-

They said they would be per-

golfers a Jim Crow course OF
