PROTESTANT PASTORS |CHURCHES PLAN TO IN NEED OF RELIEF Survey By Interchurch World Movement Reveals Pul- pit’s Poverty. $1242 1S HIGH AVERAGE SALARY Local County Conference in April Will Show Necessity for Clinics and Homes for Aged and Infirm. A large portion of the funds to be raised in the United Simultaneous Campaign of the Protestant denomina- tions associated with the Interchurch World Movement will be used for American Ministerial support and re- lief. It is greatly needed, according to leaders of the Interchurch Move ment, who early in April are to hold the conference in this county. As a result of the campaign now being made by the Interchurch World Movement the combined Protestant churches of America will provide many more hospitals, clinics and homes for the aged and infirm. An interesting feature of these Protestant hospitals will be free treatment for ministers, as’recent surveys made by the Inter. church organization have made the need for special dispensations very obvious, The following startling facts were divulged as to the average salaries in the various denominations. Starting with the highest, the average for Epis- copal ministers is $1,242; the average for Presbyterian (North), $1,177; for the United Presbyterians, $1,096; for the Reformed Church (Dutch), $1,170; for the Methodist Episcopal (North), $1,176; Congregational, $1,042, and for the Baptists (Northern), $950. With government experts announc- ing that $1,500 is the lowest salary upon which a family can be decently maintained and suggesting budgets for none lower, ministers have a discour- aging outlook. Such things as hospi tal bills are almost impossible to meet, and yet every normal family has some iliness in its midst every year. Ac- cordingly the Interchurch Movement, while on its way to obtain higher aver- ages in salaries, will assist by provid ing free care in its institutions. INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT PLANS MEDICAL AID FOR CHINA In no part of China is there a med- fea) force at all adequate to the needs of the situation. In one province there is but one doctor to five millions of people, and missionaries living in lone ly stations must travel many days to Procure medical help in case of need. The program of the Interchurch World Movement, based on a careful survey, will include the strengthening of present institutions and the opening | of a large number of hospitals in new @reas where they are most needed. AID RURAL LIFE Interchurch World Movement Surveyors Find Lethargy In Inland Empire. The church used to have to compete with the saloon as the center of recrea- tion. Now it has to compete with the movie, car. the dance-hall and the motor This is the view of the problem fac- | ing rural churches, according to sur- veyors for the Interchurch Movement who have spent’ months making’ investigations of conditions in the Inland Empire. “We cannot complain because these other attractions are drawing the peo: | ple away from the church,” said. one, “so long as we do not provide any alternative social attractions. The church has®o meet the demands of the community in which it exists, physical and recreational as well as spiritual, and so long as it does not meet them | it cannot protest against the fact that the dance-hall and movies occupy the | younger people, ] while the whole family is lured by the } prospect of a motor trip rather than | by what the church at present has to | leisure time of the offer. “The church has to offer something better.

It found that the local pool hall was attracting large numbers of young men, so it bought the pool tables, thus closing the pool | hall. But it did not stop there. It offered entertainment which effective- ly reached these young men who had previously spent their time at the pool hall. We can have movies in the church too, especially those education- al films which can easily be got from the Government departments.” Some surveyors found that there was | 4 general lack of interest in the church and religious things becoming discouraged,” one said, “and spend part of their time working on farms instead of putting all their.ef- fort into church work.” The results of those surveys will form an important bart of the program at the conference to be held in this county early in April, NO SCHOOLS FOR CHINESE.
