Newspaper Page TextSIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 10, 1958 Presbyterian Church in U.S.A. Starts Five-Year Program To Double Giving By LOUIS CASSELS United Pren Correspondent The Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. embarked this month on a "five-year plan" that many denominations would consider hopelessly idealistic. It is asking its three mil lion members to double their total giving to church work by 1962. The Presbyterians have the best possible reason for be lieving it can be done: They've done it before. In 1950, the so-called northern Presbyterians were giving about 100 million dol lars a year for local, national and foreign enterprises of their church. Last year, they gave more than 220 million dollars. Although the denomination has grown in size during that period, most of the jump in its budget reflects more gen erous giving. The present per capita giv ing figure of $72.03 a year is one of the highest to be found in major Protestant bodies. It compares, for ex ample, with S52.79 for Epis copalians, $43.82 for Meth- odists, and $48.17 for South ern Baptists. Behind the remarkable Presbyterian record is a new concept of church finance pioneered by the Rev. Dr. John Thompson Peters, sec retary of stewardship and promotion. Postage Stamp Commemorates Rel igious Freedom in America A 3-cent stamp to com memorate the 300th anniver sary of the signing of the flushing Remonstrance and religious freedom in America was issued by the U. S. Post Office department Dec 27 The postage stamp, now on sale at the Medford post of- nce, has for its central sub ject a Bible, a hat symbolic of the people and the times. and a quill, as the symbol of . man s determination to speak . the truth through the writ ten word. An ornamental rib- bon bearing the wording "1657 The Flushing Remon strance 1957" links the Bible, . the hat, and the quill. All .lettering, including the word- Zing Religious Freedom in : America" and "United States T Postage" is a modification of the early American type. I On Dec. 27, 1657, the town ; clerk and 26 freeholders of :the town of Flushing, N.Y., I sent to Governor Peter Stuy 'vesant a protest against his - order forbiding Quakers to be received into the colony. I ; ihe courage and tolerance ;of these citizens marks a ; chapter in the molding of re rligious freedom in America. I In making this remonstrance .against Stuyvesant's order they charged he had infringed "the patent and charter of , Religious -Freedom our Towne." Only 12 years earlier William Kieft, gover nor general of New Nether lands had given to the 18 set tlers the right "to have and enjoy liberty of conscience, according to the custom and manner of Holland, without molestation or disturbance from any magistrates or any other ecclesiastical minister that may pretend jurisdiction over them." The Flushing Remonstrance is in contrast to the intolerant actions of clergy and state in New England received by the Quakers. The few Friends families who were welcomed to Long Island became the nucleus for a thriving Quak er community. 3 WI?L? tmm Pastor To Conduct Idaho Meetings NEW POSTAGE STAMP Now Available Eastwood Starts Missions School Adult Education I Program Resumes Another quarter of the ; adult education program be : gins Sunday at the First Bap ' tist church, Medford.

Each year it would adopt a budget for the coming years, hopefully making the total a little larger than the previous one. This national total was then par celled out amnn a tha ft fiftft ..... U . VJ W U iv local Presbvterian hnrrhp r When the goal was reached, the drive was described as a success and everyone rested until the next year. Under Peters' leadership, the Presbyterians switched to an "open end" budget. Each j car me national cnurch pro poses a "basic program" which simply maintains the status quo. At the same time "ad vance programs" are laid be fore the denomination on the basis of "Here are some things which we ought to do, and which we will do if we get me money. Can See Ahead The advance programs are spelled out in detail. Thus Presbyterians know that in 1958, if they give more than the bare minimum re quirements represented by the basic program, they will be helping to expand mission programs in West Africa, Japan, Iran, Chile and 30 other countries; to build new churches in mushrooming U.S. suburbs and support mis sions in teeming inercity slums; to expand the facil ities and strengthen the facul ties of 41 church-related col leges; to train thousands of church school teachers and other lay leaders. Beyond the "advance pro gram for 1958" is a list of long-range projects in Christ ian education, home and for eign missions which will be undertaken when the mon ey is available. The effect of this approach is to disabuse any- church members of the comfortable idea that the denomination's budget represents all that really should be done this year. The open end budget is a constant reminder that the responsibilities and needs of Christian service are unlimit ed. The individual member is able to see a direct rela tionship between the size of his own contribution and the extent to which the church can obey Christ's command to proclaim the gospel to every living creature. This, according to Dr. Pet ers, is the only basis for "true Chrisitan stewardship." The church is not a club to which we pay fixed dues." he said. "Giving is part of our discipleship, an act of wor ship, and expression of grat READING NEW TESTAMENT The Rev. Raymond W. Hum, pastor of the First Church of the Nazarene, is shown reading from the New Testament today in the church sanc tuary.
