Newspaper Page Text6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Oreaon, FrMiy, January 9, 1939 Protestant Missionaries Number 25,058 in World By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International The popular notion that for cign missionaries are on the way out is sharply contradict ed by a new report from the famed Missionary Research Library in New York. It lists 25,058 North Ameri can Protestant missionaries now at work around the globe, preaching, teaching and heal ing in the name of Jesus Christ. i That is an increase of more than 10,000 since 1950. It is nearly four times as many missionaries as U. S. and Ca nadian Protestants sent abroad half a century ago, when the "missionary era" was sup posedly in full flower. The report shows that sev eral small fundamentalist de nominations are putting forth a much greater missionary effort, relative to their size, than some of the old-line Prot estant churches. For example: The Seventh Day Adven- tists, who rank 23rd in size among U.S. Protestant bodies, i rank first in the number of missionaries, with 2,000 men and women now serving in 184 countries. 349 Separate Agencies The Christian and Mission ary Alliance, a denomination with fewer than 90,000 mem bers in this country, supports 822 missionaries abroad-twice as many as the 3,000,000- m ember Episcopal church. Other denominations with more than 500 missionaries in the field are Methodist church, 1,473; the United Presbyterian church, 1,293; the Southern Baptist conven tion, 1,186; the Assemblies of God, 676; and the Southern Presbyterians, 504. Perhaps the most shocking statistic in the report is the disclosure that there are 349 separate agencies, boards, and societies in North America which are engaged in some form of overseas missionary effort. This multiplicity of sending agencies obviously leads to costly duplication of adminis trative overhead. Still more serious is the impression of Christian disunity which it creates among the people of the mission countries. A strenuous effort has been . made in recent years to bring about more coordination of Projects Told By Local Church Primary children of the First Church of the Nazarene have entered a project to help boys and girls in the land of Syria. They are collecting items such as crayons, erasers, cellophane tape, chalk, lead pencils and bandages. When the project is finished, they will send them to Nazarene missionary, the Rev. Don De Pasquale, in Syria. The Primary department is under the supervision of Mrs. Morris Miller, there are 75 children enrolled in the de partment with six graded classes. Home department super visor, Arnold Kornstad, of First Church of the Nazarene submitted a fall progress re port indicating that since Sept. 1, 17 services have been held at the Glen Cove Rest Home on Sunday afternoons Kornstad and the members of the home department have made 192 calls on the shut-in and sick. The Home depart ment is an extension of the Nazarene Sunday school pro gram. State Church History Is Tuesday Subject The Rev. Thomas McCam ant, pastor of Congregational church, will conduct a pro gram Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Medford Ministerial As sociation meeting on the history of the churches Oregon. It will tie in with Centennial Week which, being held next week. Various ministers will tell the histories of their 'denomi nations from the time they first arrived in the state. The meeting, scheduled at St. Luke's Methodist church 2940 Siskiyou blvd., will be gin at 9:30 a.m. with a fellow ship hour and devotions 9:55. The program will be fol lowed by a business meeting The association is open to ministers of all denominations and churches in the area. SERMON SUBJECT "Sacrament' will be the sermon subject Sunday at the First Church of Christ, Scien tist, at 11 a.m. at the church. 100 Windsor ave. Everyone is welcome to attend. Protestant missionary enter prises. Seventy - eight major agencies, representing about half of the total missionary force, are now cooperating through the Division of For eign Missions of the National Council of Churches. Some of the more conservative evan gelical bodies have come to gether in two other associa tions. But there are still scores of missionary bodies, includ ing such giants as the South ern Baptist convention, which are going it alone. No Missions In China", Here are some more inter esting facts about foreign mis sions, culled from the li brary's authoritative study: China, which once attracted half of all missionaries who went abroad, now has none 1957 Award of Merit Winner 3 Lutherans Membership Since World War United Press International The "mother church of Protestantism" is rapidly ov ercoming the peculiar handi caps that history imposed on its growth in America. The number of Lutherans in this country has increased by more than 50 per cent since World War II. Now nearly 8 million strong, the Lutherans rank, after the Baptists and Methodists, as America's third largest Protes tant denomination. But for Lutherans to be in third place is itself evidence that something has been re tarding their growth. The church that bears Martin Luther's name is the oldest major Protestant body, and worldwide it is. by far the largest, with more than 70 million members. Six out of seven of the world's Lutherans live in Ger many or Scandinavia. And this is a clue to the special problem which the church has faced in America. It has been identified, for more than 300 years, as a church that pri marily serves German and Scandinavian immigrants. Established In 1638 The first Lutheran congre gation in the New World was established in 1638 by a group of Swedes who settled along the Delaware river. For the next century there was com paratively little immigration from Northern Europe. It was not until 1748 that Pastor Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, the patriarch of American Lutheranism, was able to find enough scattered church es to organize the first synod. During the 19th Century, millions of German and Scan dinavian immigrants came to America. And with them they brought, not merely the Luth eran faith, but the particular expression of it that they had known in the national church es of their homelands. Hyphenated" Lutheran churches sprang up through out the Middle West, where most of the immigrants set tled. There were German Lutheran churches for the Germans, Swedish - Lutheran churches for the Swedes, Danish - Lutheran churches for the Danes, and so on Most of them conducted serv ices in the congregation's na tive European language rath er than in English. And they tended to have very little to do with Lutherans of a differ ent nationality. Entrenched In Tradition By the time the " great waves of immigration ended early m the present century, U. S. Lutheran churches were deeply entrenched in a tra dition that set them . apart from each other, and from the main stream of American life, The way in which Luther anism has broken out of this mold, particularly in the past decade, is one of the most in spiring chapters in the church's long history. The Lutherans are overcom ing their "separateness" in two ways. First, they are waging an ali-out evangelism program, MISSION STUDY Gold Hill - Gold Hill Com m unity Methodist church will hold a church wide mission study of the Middle East starting Sunday at 7:30 pjn Discussion leader for the first of the three meetings will be Mrs- Roy Eskew. She will show a film on "South of the Clouds." A discussion will fol low in conjunction with the mission study book, "Middle East Pilgrimage," The Communists have driven them all out. India which has recently begun to place restrictions on missionaries nas taKen over China's place as the number one mission field. There are now 1,883 North American missionaries in India. Next in order are Japan, with 1,549; the Belgian Con go, 1,289; Nigeria, 1,211; Bra zil, 948; and The Philippine Islands, 805. The thinnest representation is found in the Middle East. The report shows only 2.6 per cent of America's total mis sionary force is working in this turbulent area of the world where Islam is the dominant religion and where anti-Western sentiment is at a high pitch. CHURCH NEWS National Religious Publicity Council Report Increased with teams of laymen going from house to house in each community to seek out fami lies who are "unchurched." This drive has already brought into Lutheran churches across the land hundreds of thou sands of new members who have no trace of German or Scandinavian ancestry. Second, they are gradually healing their internal divi sions. A complicated series of merger negotiations, now nearing completion, will coalesce most of the nation's 17 Lutheran bodies into three strong groupings. Doctrinal Differences Why don't they all merge into one big Lutheran church? Many Lutherans believe that will happen, eventually. The chief obstacle to full unity is that some Lutheran bodies for example,' the Missouri Synod are more conservative than others (for example, the United Lutheran church) in doctrine. These doctrinal differences are important to Lutherans, who are the most theological ly-minded of Protestants. But Synoptic Gospels Series Subject Dr. George G. Roseberry, pastor of First- Methodist church,' announces a sermon series on the Synoptic Gos pels under the titles of "The Most Important Book ever Written", 'The Most Authen tic Gospel" and the "Most Beautiful Book ever Written' The sermon Sunday will deal with the important factors of Christianity as expressed in the book of Matthew.

Piper will preach on "The Frontier is all Around Us" Sunday morning at the First Christian church. The choir will sing the an them "Eternal Light, Immor tal Love" at the 8:30 service. At the 10:55 service Mrs. Steven Dodge will sing "The Twenty-third Psalm." A coffee hour will follow the second service. Nursery care is pro vided during both church services.

One hundred and sixty-eight peo ple will take part in a con tinuous chain of prayer from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. for the entire week. Monday and Tuesday Mr, Piper , will be in Eugene at tending a state meeting and a Northwest Christian college director's meeting. He is the chairman of the Oregon State Evangelistic Commission and a member of the state board Mr. Piper is now serving on his third three-year term as a director of Northwest Chris tian college in Eugene. the points on which Luther ans differ seem, to an out sider at least, to be relatively minor compared to the great body of faith which they all hold in common The essential tenets of Luth eranism are spelled out in Martin Luther's catechisms and other writings, notably the famous Augsburg Con fession of 1530. Here are some of them: Justification by grace, through faith." Man is by na ture so sinful and self-center ed that he is utterly unable to redeem himself through good works or even sustained good intentions. .Because man is helpless, God comes down to him in Christ and does every thing that needs to be done to save him. Man's role is to re spond, with faith, humility and gratitude, to this unde served outpouring of divine love. Observe Two Sacraments -"The priesthood of all be lievers." This is where Luther most directly challenged Ro man Catholic teaching and laid down the principle now universally accepted by Prot estants: That the individual conscience is responsible to God alone, and no intermedi ary - church, priest or saint - should come between a hu man soul and its creator. Lutherans observe two sac raments baptism and com- munion. Their custom of bap- tizing infants reflects the car- dinal emphasis of Lutheran theology - that salvation is an act in which God gives him self to one who is absolutely helpless and who claims no merits of his own. Lutheran worship has re tained many features of Cath olic liturgy, in a simplified form. Lutherans observe the seasons of the historic church year; they use altars, crosses, candles and vestments. Music is Traditionally superb in Lutheran churches. Much of the world's greatest religious music was composed by a Lutheran, Johann Sebastian Bach.
