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."
