FEWER BUT LARGER CHURCHES INDICATED Tendency Shown by Survey Con- ducted by Congregational Churches of Country. A notable tendency toward fewer churches, but better, is shown in the annual report of the Congregational Churck of the United States, accord- ing to Rev. Charles E. Burton, the secretary. The denomination reports a loss of 110 churches, but an increase of 3,322 members. The average mem- bership per church, taking the coun- iry over, increased from 147 per church to more than 150 members per church. This is accounted for by three reasons: First, the concentration of popula- tion in’cities from the country, thus making the continuance of rural churches impossible Second, the wide use of the automo- bile aliows many country dwellers to £0 to the town church. Third, the growing spirit of church union or federation, which brings | 2bout the unjon of two or more small Churches of various denominations into one strong church. AllL this movement Is for the good. and Congregationalists are most will- ing to enter into any plan which will bring about better churches, It is stated. During the year just closed thirty-three new churches were or- ganizel and 143 were closed or merged into churches of other de- nominations. Property values have increased by $8.412,461, bringing it up to $132- 388,237. ' Invested funds of the :hurches amount to $15,343,94S, being an_increase of $524,550 in the year. The annual budgets of the churches reporting amount to $18,26. 691, which is $1,479.936 more than for the pre- ceding vear. This does nof include the benevolences of the ehurches, which total $5,366,181. or $153.963 more than the preceding year. Not including parsonages provided for a considerable proportion of the ministers, and exclusive of various perquisites, the average pastor's sal- ary is shown to be $1.854, as com- pared with $1,778 one vear earlier The value of 'free house rent and other perquisites would probably bring this average up to approxi- mately $2,200 a vear. The benevolences of the church show an increase for the regular uses of approximately 130 per cent over the amount of money raised in 1918, at the close of the great war. There were 63.680 new membe added to the rolls, 37.305 of thes being on confession 'of their faith and the rest by letter from other churches of all denominations. The Sunday school enrollment is ahown to be 780,475, a gain of 622 in the vear. The membership of yvoung people’s organizations totals 119,805, an increase of 3,407.
