MAIL TRIBUNE
I The consensus was that
Methodists and other Protes
tant denominations are con
centrating too much of their
attention on the relatively
prosperous suburbs, and too
little on the blighted "inner
city" areas where million of
families have no church ties.
Need Missionary Work
The conclusions of the
three-day conference were
documented, with typical
Methodist thoroughness, by a
wide variety of surveys, sta
tistical reports, and sociologi
cal studies. '
Here are some of the most
significant findings:
A generation ago, the new
families moving into the
crowded inner sections of
cities were European immi
grants of predominantly Ro
man Catholic background. To
day the newcomers are white
and Negro families from the
South and from rural areas,
with Protestant backgrounds
Neither the Methodists, nor
other major Protestant de
nominations are effectively
serving this vast "missionary
field."
One survey of 50 inner
1
city churcnes snoweo. mi
more than half had barely
held their own or had suffer
ed a loss of membership dur
ing the past 10 years while
the population of their urban
neighborhoods was rising
sharply.
Another showed startling
low rates of church member
ship and attendance among
families living in apartment
houses and mass housing proj
ects. No City "Plan"
Several sneakers noted xnai
Pro t e s t a n t denominations
have no overall plan for serv
ing the inner city. Individual
churches are "left to worn
out their own problems as
best they can." Many of them
are in dire financial straits.
They find it difficult to ob
tain ministers. Elderly women
comprise a disproportionately
large percentage of the typi
cal congregation, competent
lay leaders 'are hard to find.
The conferees decided mas
the first step toward a solu
tion of these problems is for
church members everywhere
psneciallv those in the
booming suburbs to recog
nize that they share tne re-
sDonsibility for offering a vig
orous Protestant ministry to
the inner city.
As one-report put it:
"No individual church in a
blighted area can stand alone.
It must have the' moral and
perhaps financial support of
the entire denomination in
the work it attempts to do."
Lenten Services
To Be Held at Zion
Beginning Sunday, Zion
Lutheran church, corner of
Fourth and Oakdale, will hold
two services each week in ad
dition to the regular services
of the church.
On each Sunday at 7 p.m.
there will be a devotional
service designed around a
study of the fundamental
teachings of Christianity and
the church. Prepared particu
larly for "inquirers" and per
sons preparing for church
membership, they are open to
all interested persons seeking
fuller understanding in the
area.
On Wednesday at 8 p.m.
there will be a Lenten serv
ice for the strengthening of
the devotional - spiritual life
that there may be a deeper
understanding and a fuller
joy in the message of the res
urrected Christ at the Easter
season.
All persons are welcome to
the services of the church.

Adventist Youth
To Aid Welfare
Plans for a year-long wel
fare drive by 75,000 Seventh
day Adventist youths in com
munities across the country
were outlined to youth lead
ers from the local churches at
a leaders' training course held
near Portland last week, Dr.
Virgil Mohr, youth leader for
the Medford church reported
this week when the seven
workers returned.
Young .people of the 109
Adventist churches affiliated
with the Oregon conference
will cooperate in this commu
nity program, which will be
under the auspices of the de
nomination's youth organiza
tion called "Missionary Vol
unteers," the returning youth
leader explained. Plans are
now being formulated to or
ganize the young people of
the Rogue Valley churches
into the conference-wide pro
gram.
"We aim to make the drive
a practical, one," Dr. Mohr
stated, "giving a demonstra-
tion of old-fashioned neigh-
borliness. Cutting the widow's
wood, painting an elderly per
son's home, and visiting old
folks' homes with singing
band groups are a sample of
what we hope to do.
Officers of the church's
Pathfinder club attended a
training course during the
same time. Advance classes in
camping, nature, and hobby
crafts were conducted. The
Pathfinder club is similar to
the Scout organization. In the
Medford area Pathfinders will
cooperate, with the Missionary
Volunteer societies in the
planned drive.

of the conference meetings
during the Missionary Volun
teer program at the Medford

Richard Schwartz plan to
meet with Rogue Valley Mis
sionary Volunteers in the
Medford church Saturday,
March 1, at 4 p.m. to assist
in laying plans for launching
the welfare drive here.

Asks for Plain English
Boston OP) Protestant
ministers should learn to
speak English, says the Rev.
Halford E. Luccock, professor
emeritus at Yale Divinity
school.
"The churches' have suffer
ed greatly from the preacher
using an academic jargon
which is Greek to the people,"
he said.
"Some people suffer from
the delusion that if an idea is
muddy it must be profound.
That is a frightful mistake."
and to the church as a whole
for action.
"America for Christ" Sun
day will be observed Sunday
morning at the 11 a.m. wor
ship service at Eastwood Bap

is received in the fall for for
eign missions.

"Christ, the Church, and
Race.". The choir, under the
direction of Mrs. Jones, will
