The Church was or ganized in 1708 by Alexander Mack. In 1719 and again in 1729 most of the Brethren migrated to America and set tled in and around German town, Penna., later following the migrations of pioneer set tlers across, the country. From its earliest days the Church has had no fixed creed and accepts the New Testament as the rule of faith and practice. The Church of the Brethren is one of the "historic peace churches," the other two being the Mennon ites and the Quakers. The Brethren believe in trine immersion in baptism, and in their early days were called "Dunkers." The Breth ren still hold Love Feasts in celebrating communion. After the Brethren wash one an other's feet following Christ's injunction "If I your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you ought also to wash one another's feet," they all sit around a plain supper table with simple but nourish ing food being served. After this meal of fellowship they partake of the communion of the bread and the cup.

Church Yearbook Shows Religious Facts and Figures By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International The perils of drawing sweeping conclusions from church membership statistics we're illustrated dramatically this week. The National Council of Churches published its annual "Yearbook of American Churches" giving facts and figures about 255 U. S. relig ious bodies. As usual, news stories about the yearbook dwelled mainly on its grand totals, which indicated church mem bership has grown to a new all-time high of 104,189,678 persons. Closer study of the year book yielded two other fig ures which would be extreme ly significant if true. Taking the yearbook's fig ures at face value, it appears church membership rose last year by 0.9 per cent, while the total U. S. population rose 1.7 per cent. Figures Misleading This is the first time since World War II the growth in church membership, as re ported in the yearbook, has failed to keep pace with the growth in population. Last year, the yearbook , showed church membership growing nearly twice as fast as the general population. Still more startling are fig ures in the new yearbook which indicate the number of Protestants in the United States actually has declined in the past year. The 1958 yearbook shows 'a total of 59,832,777, an apparent de crease of 316,203. j But these figures are gross ly misleading and the conclu sions drawn from them are false. Here's why: . v The yearbook does not count church members on its own. It simply compiles re ports submitted by the indi vidual denominations. In 1953, it received a re port from a Protestant body called "Christ Unity Science Church, Inc.," with head quarters in El Paso, Tex. It claimed 4,481 local congre gations with a total of 1,581, 286 members. Church Non-Existent The yearbook editors then checked the report insofar as their limited staff and re search funds would permit. Ministers of other denomina tions vouched for the exist ence of the "Christ Unity Science Church" and said its leaders in El Paso were repu table men. So the yearbook accepted the report as authen tic and included the alleged membership in its totals. Although no reports have been received from the "Christ Unity Science church" since 1953, the year book continued to list its claimed membership in each edition up to and including last year's. This year, after trying in vain to find any trace of the organization at El Paso or elsewhere, the yearbook dropped the listing and quiet ly subtracted 1,581,286 per sons from its figures on Prot estant membership and its grand total on membership of all faiths. It was this belated "correc tion" that caused the apparent slowdown in church member ship growth this year. When the subtraction is taken into account, it appears bona-fide denominations have actually continued to grow during the past year at a rate at least as great, and perhaps greater, than previous years. Ministers To Hold First Fall Meeting Tuesday Dr. Tom Goff, clinical psychologist for the South ern Oregon Child Guidance and Mental Health clinic in Medford, will speak at the first, fall meeting of the Medford Ministerial Asso ciation Tuesday.
