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.

Before Peters took charge
eight years ago, the denomina
tion followed the custom
which still prevails in most
Protestant bodies. 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

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. Mr. Hum, who started reading the New Testament
aloud this morning at 8 a.m., expects to finish reading some
time between 11 p.m. and midnight. He is reading from sev
eral versions of the Bible including the King James, Revised
Standard, John Wesley and James Moffett translations. Each
chapter is being read so that those who attend may expect
devotional and meditative treatment of the Word. A number
of persons have attended the reading this morning and in
terested persons are invited to stop by the sanctuary this aft
ernoon and evening. The purpose of the reading, according
to Mr. Hum, is to focus attention upon the readability, sim
plicity and the ease with which the New Testament may be
read.

of Japan, tells of Jiro, sec
ond son of a rural Japanese

well as himself. The maze of
urban life further blurs his
perspective and his loneliness
knows no bounds. Then an
on-the-job accident sends him
to the hospital where' he is
befriended by a Christian.
Jiro's confusion over his
country's changing culture be
gins to clear a bit as he feels
Christianity's answers to be
his answers. But his new faith
touches his family's tradition
tied life and the young man
returns to Osaka concerned
for his loved ones yet sure of
his new life and its meaning
