Threat to Nation's
Religious
Clergymen
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
If you've ever seen a church
congregation trying to limp
along without a pastor, or
with one minister when it
needs two or three, you know
how demoralizing the expe
rience can be.
Multiply this situation by
many thousands, and you'll
understand why a chronic
shortage of trained clergymen
is a serious threat to the na
tion's religious life.
America has such a shortage
today. And it is getting pro
gressively worse all the time.
To serve an expanding pop
ulation, America's churches
need more ministers each
year. Instead, they are getting
fewer.
The United Presbyterian
Church now has about 800
congregations which are
searching for pastors. But en
rollment in its seminaries de
clined this year by nearly 12
per cent.
The Episcopal Church dis
covered in a national survey
five years ago that it was 806
clergymen short of its "mini
mum" requirements. Since
that time, its membership has
increased 8 per cent-and sem
inary enrollment has dropped
10 per cent.
The Southern Baptist Con
vention ordained nearly 2,000
new ministers in 1951. In
1959, with a far larger mem
bership, it ordained only 840
During the past year, enroll
ment in its seminaries de
clined from 5,000 to 4,809.
Need 1,200 Clergymen
The Methodist Church needs
1,200 new clergymen annually
just to replace those lost by
death or retirement. To serve
an expanding membership, it
needs at least 2,000. Its sem
inaries will turn out fewer
than 700 this year.
First Christian To
Start Youth Week
Sunday is the beginning of
Youth Week. It will be ob
served at the First Christian
church by having the youth

CHURCH NEWS
National Religious Publicity Council
Life Is
Shortage
The United Lutheran Church
has a current shortage of 450
ministers, and needs at least
170 additional each year to fill
vacancies. Its seminaries are
graduating about 150 a year.
The membership of the Ro
man Catholic Church has in
creased by more than 40 per
cent in the past 10 years, but
the number of priests has
grown by less than 20 per
cent
Similar figures could be
cited for virtually every other
major religious body in the
nation.
Different reasons have been
advanced for the down trend
in seminary enrollment. Some
church leaders blame the per
vasive materialism of Ameri
can society, which, they say,
causes young people to view
a potential career primarily in
terms of the financial rewards
it offers.
Underpaid Profession
The ministry is unquestion
ably an underpaid profession.
But doctors are the most high
ly-paid professional group in
the nation, and there is also
a shortage of medical stu
dents. So it seems doubtful
that today's youths are alto
gether money-minded in their
choice of a career.
Another theory is that the
ministry like the medical pro
fession, is suffering from
"image" trouble. Young peo
ple don t know about the cler
gyman's job to be attracted to
it. They've heard about the
low pay and long hours, and
they may have an exaggerated
notion of the limitations on
a clergyman's private life. But
they haven t been made aware
of the opportunities for lead
ership and service and the
tremendous satisfactions that
a good pastor finds in his
work.
Joyce Stockstlll, Jim Osborn
and John Alansky.
Four young people will be
greeters and 10 boys will
serve as deacons.
At the first service the
youth choir will sing "Sing
and Smile and Pray the
Clouds Away." The Junior
High department will sing
"The Lord's Prayer" at the
second service. Mrs. Frank
Williams will sing "I Heard
the Voice of Jesus Say" at
both services.
Mrs. Fred Slmcox and Mrs.
W. H. Russell will be hostesses
at the coffee hour following
the second service.
The fourth session of the
School of Missions will begin
at 6 p.m. Mrs. Howard Gault
will be the adult study leader
on Animism as they continue
to study the religions of the
world.
Patty Warren will be the
leader for the Chi Rho Fel
lowship in their study on
home missions. "Interviews on
Work Camps" will be the
study for Christian Youth Fel
lowship. Gary Myers will be
the leader assisted by Miss
Nancy Simmons and Miss
Sara Hinkle. The Youth Fire
side will be held at the home

there.

PREACH THE WORD
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profit
able for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: that the man of

10:17). Christ warned, ". . . If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in
this book; and if any man shall take away from the words of
the bock of this prophecy, God shall take away his part of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which
are written in this book" (Revelation 22:18-19).
Peter warned, "If any man speak, let him speak as the or
acles of God . . ." (I Peter 4:11). Paul warned, "But though we,
or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we HAVE preached unto you, let him be accursed"
(Galatians 1 : 8 . John warned, "If there come any unto vou, and
bring not THIS doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither
bid him God speed." (2 John 10).
We should preach God's word ONLY for: (1) God command
ed It. (2) Saving faith depends upon hearing it. (3) Obedience to
IT purifies and saves (I Peter 1:22-23, James 1:21). U) We shall
be judged by IT (John 12:48, Revelation 20:12). (5) The faithful
preacher of IT shall be saved (1 Corinthians 3h (6) The unfaith
ful preacher shall be eternally lost (Revelation 20:12-15).
To Israel's preachers God said, "The prophet that hath a
dream, let him tell his dream; and he that hath my word, let him
speak my word FAITHFULLY" (Jeremiah 23 28K

What Does The
Bible Say?
Moses instructed Israel while
he was yet alive that God's law
to Israel was to pass away. All
men would have to take in
structions from another (Deut.
18:18-19). We are informed in
Acts 3:22-23 that Christ was
that prophet.
The law of love tbat we have
in Christ does have the promise
of eternal life in Jn. 3:16 and
it will abide forever. Matt.
24:35. Moses work began in
Egypt while Israel was yet in
slavery there. He did a great
work in Egypt in preparing for
the deliverance of Israel from
their bondage. He led them
from Egypt and across the Red
Sea. We learn through Moses
that God had never given man
a day in which to worship. They
now have a reason for worship
after their deliverance from
Egypt, Deu't. 5:1,6. God gave
them the Sabbath day as a day
of Rest and remembrance.

God may be perfect, throughly

thee therefore before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick
and the dead at his appearing and his
kingdom; Preach the word: be instant in
season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,

(2 Timothy 3:16-4:2).
There is no substitute for the Scriptures.
Faithful preachers believe and preach them.
They know that "these are WRITTEN that
ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God . . ." (John 20:31). And
