Public apathy is particular ly evident in church finances In a land where living costs are comparable to America, clergymen receive an average pay of less than $2,000 a year, And two-thirds of this stipend comes from endowments ac cumulated by the church over past, more pious centuries Even if you count only the Easter communicants as church members, the average CHURCH NEWS Religious Publicity Council refreshments will be served following the program.

Mr. Simon plans to re turn from his trip to Wiscon sin in time to conduct the services both at Medford and at Ashland. DEVOTIONAL SUBJECT "The Transparent Race" will be the devotional subject Sunday at the Unity service in the Pythian hall, Fifth and Grape sts., at 11 a.m. It will be given by Mrs. Katharine Bosworth, minister of Center. Unity Center, 995 South Oak dale ave., is open daily, Mon day through Friday, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. free-will contribution from the man in the pew figures out to less than. 35 cents per mem ber per week. U.S. Average $1.20 Wetkly These figures may sound shocking in America,' where. more than 30 per cent of the church members attend wor ship service each Sunday, and where the average financial contribution counting even the nominal members is about $1.20 a week. But to English churchmen, they are not surprising. This country has experienced a re ligious revivial since World War II, but its impact has been felt primarily among intellec tuals, particularly at the great Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and in the upper economic groups. The major ity of working people, far more class conscious here than in America, tend to identify the church, with landlords and managers, and they are not easily persuaded that its re ligion is relevent to their em battled lives. rne church is trying in many different waysto break through this inherited barrier of disaffection. It is learning to speak out boldy on issues of popular concern, from birth control to nuclear tests. It is sending specially-trained in dustrial chaplains into the factory areas of South London. Sheffield, Bristol and Birming ham, to make friends , with workers at . their jobs-and in their homes. It is appealing to young people through a grow ing network of youth clubs that sponsor every kind of ac tivity from rock-and-roll mus ic sessions to week end reli gious retreats. It is trying to make worship more meaning ful, by soft-pedaling the un- cotuous sermon and restoring the sacrament of Holy Com munion to the central place at the Sunday morning serv ice. Bear Fruit Noticeable All of these things have be gun to bear fruit, not in a spectacular way, but notice alby. The most important change that has taken place, according to church leaders, stems from an idea that was quite frankly borrowed from America. About five years ago, parish es in several parts of England began to experiment with the Christian stewardship move ment which has long been the mainstay of church finance in America. Stewardship is based on the recognition that a Christian cannot, "give" in the ordinary sense of the world, because everything he "owns" already belongs to God. His time, his talents, and the money he earns with them are held in trust from God, and the Chris tian's duty is to serve as a conscientious steward of these gifts, using them as he thinks God Would have them used. Although English -churches took up this concept initially out of a desire to put their finances on a sounder basis, they quickly discovered what American churches had also learned -from experience: Stewardship is not a money raising gimmick, and if it is used as one it will fail. But if it is taught honestly, with single-minded emphasis on the accountability of a faithful steward for all that God has entrusted to him, the financial needs of the church will look after themselves. Evangelist to Speak Sunday at Ruch Ruch-The Rev. and Bud Powell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll W. Powell, Central Point, will conduct the 11 a.m. worship service Sunday at Community church. Mr. Powell, who delivered the sermon on the two previ ous Sundays, returned last No vember from an evangelistic tour of the southern states. He was graduated from the Bob Jones university two years ago. The Rev. D. D. Randall, Medford, will conduct the Sunday evening service. Nazarenes Attend District Meeting Members of the First Church of the Nazarene and the Mt. Pitt Avenue Church of the Nazarene are attending the an nual campmeeting of the Naz arene churches of Oregon Pa cific district now underway at Clackamas. The camp, which will con tinue through July 26, has for its evangelists the Rev. Paul Martin and the Rev. John S. Logan. The Rev.
