'Old-Time Religion' Returing
To Nation With New-Time Twist
Editor's No!.! This Is the
second of a series on the re
ligious revival in the United
Stales.
By H. D. QUIGO
New York U.R) "That old
time religion" seems to be back
wilh a new-time twist.
Americans are giving more to
church and charity, paying more
attention to preachers, leaning
more on the Scriptures and re
ligious themes than ever before.
' "There are evidences," one
Bible publisher said, "that lay
men are more interested In re
ligion than they have been in a
generation."
Church Outgrew Country
In that generation 1926 to
1950 the church outgrew the
country two to one. A recent
aurvey by the National Council
of the Churches of Christ in the
U.S.A. shows that the Roman
Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant
faiths as a whole increased dur
ing those 24 years irom 53,397,
675 to 85,319,274 a 59.8 per
cent gain while U.S. population
increased 28.6 per cent.
Religious-affiliated Americans
now constitute 57 per cent of the
country's population. The Na
tional Council says: "So far as
can be gathered from statistics,
this is the highest percentage in
U.S. history."
Contributions Gain
The council figures Protes-

Xls MACARONI J
tant contributions last year ex
ceeded $1 billion a 150 per
cent gain in 10 years. It's esti
mated that Catholic and Jewish
contributions accounted for an
other billion.
A Wall Street Journal sur
vey disclosed Afnericans giving
to charity at the greatest rate in
history. A decade ago charity
giving totaled $1.5 billion; last
year, $4.2 billion a 180 per
cent gain during a time when
national Income rose only 180
per cent.
But the big religious upswing
seems to have been in the last
three years. The director of the
CBS network "Church of the
Air" said: "Three years ago I
used to tell the ministers they
could expect 200 to 300 letters
in response to a sermon now
adays it's anywhere from 800 to
1,200."
The Catholic Church, which
for years has provided such ra-dio-standbys
as "The Catholic
Hour," now has 12 local radio
and five television shows in the
New York archdiocese alone.
Three months ago, Catholic
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen went on
television for an every-Tuesday-night
lecture. Ills competition,
on opposite networks, seemed
formidable comedian Milton
Bcrle and singer Frank Sinatra.
But he wos an instant hit, his
response mall averaging 4,500
letters a week and one week
hitting 7,800.
The Protestant Broadcasting
and Film Commission, which co
ordinates the Protestant pro
grams, reports that In 1950 there
were 250,000 requests from lis
teners for copies of radio ser
mons. In 1951, that figure
jumped to 720,000. The minis
ter on one of the big Sunday
programs said:
Mail in Cartons
My mail used to arrive In
parcels; now they bring It In
large cartons."
The commission Inst year pro
duced 1,058 radio and television
programs nationally, including
Dr. Ralph W. Sockman on "Na
tional Radio Pulpit," Dr. John
S. Bonnell on "National Ves
pers," and Dr. Norman Vincent
Peale on "The Art of Living."
But Its programs also include
television puppets enacting Bib
lical stories; children's programs
showing Christian life as an ex
citing adventure; a radio edition
of the Bible in which Scripture
is read with music and sound
effects, and a television show
that picks up services in
churches from Maine to Cali
fornia and brings them to the
living room.
