But it's not a very big crimp. By every standard ex cept last year's all-time rec ord, new church construction is still proceeding at a phe nomenal pace. The Commerce Department reports 389 million dollars was spent on- religious con struction during the first half of 1958. That represents a drop of about 3 per cent from the 400-million-dollar outlay recorded during the first half of 1957. Government economists at tribute the drop to the tight money market, the high in terest rates and the general uncertainty about future eco nomic conditions that pre vailed last winter. Upswing Expected Past experience undergirds the assumption the decline will be temporary. Church building has set new records every year since the end of World War II. The annual out lay climbed from 76 million dollars in 1946 to 775 million dollars in 1956 an increase of 1,000 per cent over a 10 year period. In 1957, the full year total was 866 million dol lars. Behind the building boom are two factors: The sharp rise in U.S. church membership since the war, and the great population shift from the cities to the suburbs. The latter factor has been the more important of the two. If every existing church were being used to capacity, major religious denomina- Male Quartet to Give Two Valley Concerts .The Foresters, a male quar tet and organist, of Concordia Teachers college, River For est, 111., will present concerts in both Medford and Ashland this week. The concert, sponsored in Medford by St. Peter Evan gelical Lutheran church,-Missouri Synod, -will be held at the church at 1020 East Main St., Sunday, July 27, at 8 p.m. Saturday at 8 p.m. the sing ers will be in Ashland at the Grace Lutheran church on Frances lane. The students are currently touring 13 midwestern and western states. Their program includes a variety of musical selections. Following the program the Foresters will also present some of their lighter, secular numbers at a social gathering immediately following the concert. First Christian Tells Topics for Sunday And Plans Youth Meetings The Rev. William C. Piper has chosen for his sermon topic Sunday morning at the First Christian church "Preaching the Cross." At the evening service the sermon will be "The Cross, the Way of Ultimate Victory." Wednesday the Christian Youth Fellowship will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Max Johnson for an outdoor supper. Thursday the Chi Rho Fellowship will meet at the church at 6:30 p.m. for their mid-week recreation. The other two children of the Roots are John M. Root Jr., a farmer in Madras, and Leonard Root, principal of the South Gate Elementary school in Seattle. While in Medford Mr. Root has been active in the Med ford Ministerial association. si i w in i ir- Dai::..e c.ui:;., rn;l tions could have accommo dated their postwar increase in membership with only a fraction of the new building they have had to undertake. Downtown Churches Empty But in virtually every city today there are large down- A greater amount of building activity is reported by Medford churches during the first six months of 1958 as compared to the same period last year. At the present time churches are being con structed by Medford Seventh-day Adventist, Bethel Assembly of God. Si. Luke's Methodist, and Pilgrim Hol iness. During this period Open Bible Standard church completed their structure. During 1957 only two churches. Free Methodist and Mt.

There is no sign the church es are nearing the saturation point in their far-flung sub urban building campaigns. The Methodist church, the na tion's largest Protestant de nomination, concluded after a recent survey that it will have to build at least one new church a day for the next 10 years just to keep pace with suburban growth. At a meeting in Detroit last February, officials of 34 ma jor denominations arrived at an estimate that 2,000 new churches will be needed each year for the foreseeable ' fu ture. If this estimate proves any where near 'accurate, it is likely the annual outlay for church construction will top the billion dollar mark by 1959 or 1960.
