MEETINGS PLANNED
Gold Hill The Christian
endeavor group of the Gold Hill
Christian church will meet Sun
day at 7 p.m. at the home of
Darlene Allison, 560 First st.,
Gold Hill. The Thursday mid
week service of the church will
meet at 7:30 p.m. at the home of
Mabel Goodwin, 1187 Second
ave.
Friday, November 1, 1957
marked for foreign Gid home
missions, relief projects and
other benevolences.
Per capita giving was calculat
ed by dividing the total con
tributions by the . number of
church members over the rage
of 13.
Adventists Still High
As usual, the Seventh Day Ad-1
ventists were way out in front
with an average contribution
of S202.02 per member. Close be
hind were several small fund
amentalist bodies which, like
the Adventists, place heavy
stress on tithing:
The W e s 1 e y a n Methodist
church $197.43; the Evangelical
Free church $165; the Pilgram
Holiness church $161.70; and the
Ohio Yearly Meeting of Friends
$142.08.
None of the larger Protestant
bodies came close to these fig
ures. The highest per member con
tributions among the major de
nominations were recorded by
the Southern Presbyterians and
the Reformed church, which tied
at $88.56.
Per member giving by other
major Protestant denominations:
Missouri Synod Lutherans
$80.88, Presbyterian USA North
ern $72.03, Congregational
Christian $65.18, United Luther
an $58,46, Evangelical Lutheran
$56.47, Protestant Episcopal $52.
79, Southern Baptists $48.17,
Methodist church $43.82, Ameri
can Northern Baptists $37.18,
Disciples of Christ $37.14.
Precise Figures Unknown
No precise statement can be
made about the proportion of
his income which the average
Protestant gives to his church.
Per capita personal income of
Americans was $1,935 last year.
But children under 13 are count
ed in computing this figure, and
are not counted in computing
the average giving figure, so
the two are not fairly comapr
able. Various "reports" are issued
from time to time which give a
total figure for all U.S. ging
to churches. Since no official
information is available on Cath
olic and Jewish contributions,
these reports are little more than
guesses. The usual procedure is
to increase the National Coun
cil's total for Protestant churches
by about 70 to 75 per cent, on
the assumption that the extra
amount will cover Catholic and
Jewish giving.

Formal discussion is limited
t one hour each meeting, fol

the topic for this week, such
questions as "Why am I Here,?"
"Is the Devil Real,?" and "What
is Man?' will be analyzed in the
current series.
While the discussion clubs are
designed primarily for adult
Catholics, interested non-Catholics
are invited to take part in
the meetings.
Anyone not participating in a
discussion club, but wish to do
so, may get further information
