u misiui cuts CHURCH MY Dr. John Roach Stratton De clares Gifts Are Dwindl ing Fast 'NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (AP). j r Disappearance of church ex--peases as a major item in the ,, American family budget is seen by the IteT. Dr. John Roach Strat ton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, as "another voot of the weakening influence of religious modernism. ; ," This change in the family bud get . recently " was; brought " out through ' a report from Cornell Agricultural college which; gare the actnal expenses of two gener ations of the same family. In 1880 the major expenses of the family were food, clothing chil dren and church, while in 1924 the church dropped out as a com parative major item. "Modernism," said the funda mentalist leader in a statement on the subject to the Associaetd Press today, "has no positive' reli gious message for the people, and therefore, it ig of no value. Wher ever modernism prevails, vital in terest in religion wanes and lt d but a matter of time until all sup port of organized religion will cease, should modernism become really dominant. "An individual who has i-een truly regenerated by the super natural power of God through the preaching of Bible truths, would not only be willing, but enthusi astic in-the support of that truth that others may receive tha bless ings which have come to him. But an secular society or mere reform agency could do the work that modernistic so-called religion essays to do. and, therefore, while large Bums of money may be se cured for the support of a reli gious establishment because of tradition or family influence or a desire to help what is regarded as a good cause, nevertheless, the devotion of the masses of the peo ple to the churches will weaken and finally die unless there is a return" to a vital faith in the tre mendous truths of revealed religion."
