LfRGER GIVING IS NEED
EPISCOPALIANS SPEND MUCH
OX PI.KASt'RF.S. CIIAHGEI.
Blsftop rk addlng Says If Every Com
municant Gave $3 Church
Would Hire Enough.
That Eplacopallana spend more money
for candles, tobacco and car farea than
they do for the support of the church
Is the statement made In the Conven
tion Journal of the diocese of Oregon.
the Episcopalian organ.
"The reason for thla lack of funds,"
Id Bishop Scaddlng yeaterday. "la
that a few persona give liberally, while
others give nothing. We have a great
many communicants who are not
wage-earners young people, and
aome rot able to do very much. While
Oregon stand well up In the list, as
compared with other dioceses. In the
amount given per capita, we don't
make a vary good showing because so
few people carry so large a load.
"We are trying to get a great num
ber of people to give a little, and give
It regularly. It la so much better If
they can get the habit of giving week
ly, rather than allow the bills to ac
cumulate, and then try to pay them
all at once. If every communicant
would give IS a ear. we would meet
all our needs esslly.
It doesn't seem as though It ought
be hard to get 3600 communicanta
to give i: a year each. They will give
cent every time they visit a mov-
lng-pioture show, but It Is hard to
get the church people awakened to
he necessity or supporting the church.
However. It la now much better than
It used to be."
The average gift. say the Con
vention Journal, as recorded for the
last three years, has been In this dio
cese I It. SI per communicant per year.
In this calculation the missions as well
as the parishes are counted. It must
be acknom-ledged that Oregon comes
out well In this respect, when com
pared with many of the older dioceses,
but an average gift per communicant,
ranging from about t-10 centa a day
t Astoria down to about S centa at
Eugene and In 14 parishes not quite
amounting to ' rent, lesves little
room for complacency. Our people
pend far more In car farea and can-
lee and tobacco than they give to the
hurch.
