Church Study Reveals
Religious Trends

NEW YORK = Hearken to
other statistics from the Yearbook
of American Churches, which put
on the books for 1853 new, all
time records for religious life in
America, under the impetus of a
mid-century religious revival that
has been sustained since 1910.
The Yearbook, published by the
National Council of the Churches
of Christ in the U. S. A., is the
only source of statistical data for
all religious bodies in the con-
tinental United States. The new
figures, mostly for 1858 and col
lected from official statisticians of
all faiths, will appear in the Year
book for 1855.
The 2.8 percent gain in church
membership in 1858 compared
with a population gain of IL.
The nations religious-affiliated
population of almost 95,OOO,OOO,
when broken down into six major
faith groups, shows the Protest
ants, with 100000, first; Roman
Catholics, with 100000, second;
and Jewish, with 100000, third.
The relative strength of Protes-
tant and Roman Catholic groups
has remained virtually constant
for more than so years.

maYbe?"
No, it wasn't that. This had to
do with old, old church history in
Greece, with an ancient kindness
of people there; a kindness that
was living then and even unto
this Sunday was being sacredly
remembered in the symbol of
these morsels of bread.
Long. long ago in Greece there
were plenty Of people who hun
gered just for bread of which
there was not enough for their
families. So it became the prac-
tice in the churches Of Greece for
the better-oH people to bring
loaves of bread TO church on Sun.

enough TO eat. That was a way
the Greeks had of serving God
with their hands after they had
sung to Him in the service of the
liturgy.
Well, the Rev. Mich said, that
is all in the far past now, insofar
as these Greeks of our American
life are concerned. They are, for
the most part, prosperous people
and the only ones who are denied
bread are those on diets to keep
their weight down, by doctors
orders.
Yes. there's much for them to
eat now. in many varieties be-
sides bread. but even unto this
Sunday they keep on remember
ing old times when maybe their
ancestors were hungry and were
thankful for the gift of a loaf of
bread in church: for the sake Of
being humble. in the memory of
forefathers who were so poor.
they were eating these pieces Of
bread out of the priests hand this
Sunday.
1t is humility for. the prosperous
to be eating of this bread by
which to remember an old time
when there was no bread. Segal
took up his morsel and ate of it
with relish; it seemed the best of
food for a mans soul; it carried
something of the flavor of the
nourishing philosophy he had
found in the book of the prophet
Micah. He had often read and
quoted Micah from the verse in
which he said that to walk hum
bly, with the Lord is one of the
three virtues expected of a man.

terday voted to accept for county
maintenance that part of heav-

will be paralleled by a new dual
highway to be built under the

close to the Adelphi Mill in

then running cross-country east

divisions. It is scheduled 2 for
completion during the second
and third four-year periods of
the 12-year program. ]
To Become Quiet Street.
The commissioners merely in
dicated their willingness to ac-
cept the old road. which they
said will be changed from a
major artery to "a quiet, resi-
dental street" They stipulated
however, that the road must be
in good condition before the
transfer. The road agency plans
also call for Riggs road to be
made dual all the way to the
District line, but utilizing. its
present right of way through the
densely populated area south
of University lane.
The board, in another action.
took under advisement a rec
ommendation by Mr.. Tayman
that provisions requiring build
ers to include curbs and cutters
along streets in new subdivi-
sions should not be waived un-
less the building lots have a
frontage of at least IS feet.
The effect of this would be to
reduce the number of waivers
giving builders permission to
construct streets to rural instead
OF urban standards in subdivi-
sions. Mr.. Tayman has called
efforts by the county to main
tain such rural roads "a pain in
the neck

said Commissioner Herbert w.

We should make it a hard and

builders) put in the kind of roads
we will need when these areas
become urbanized in few
years"
At the request of Commissioner
Frank j. Lastner, the board or
dered it's clerk. r. Lee Van Horn,
to prepare a report ION exactly
/ what this county is doing about
civil defense. County Agricul-
tural Agent P. c. Clark also is
county director of civil defense.
He said he now gets an appropri-
alton of $500 for transportation,
and has no staff.
