THE BARROW TIMES. WINDER, GEORGIA.
IN RE CHURCH ATTENDANCE
W. 11. Faust.
Last summer a Winder preach
er urged the members of his con
gregation who were going to take
a week-end vacation to take it in
the Mountains of North Georgia,
one of our most facile pen push
ers had a squib about the matter
suggesting that the preacher had
urged his hearers to take a vaca
tion and then scored them for tak
ing advice.
All of this leads up to a story
One of the Souths leading preach
ers went to church, at the close (if
the service the senior deacon
arose and notified the congrega
tion that all of the pastors salary
except $ 19.50 had been paid,
whereupon the visitors busied
themselves and raised the said ba
lance and then asked the deacon
the total amount of salary when
the deacon informed him that all
the salary totalled twenty dollars.
One would infer from church
attendance in a great many of
our towns and cities that vaca
tions and week-ends last eleven
months in the year and six days
in the week.
America is the leading nation
of the world today because of her
churches and their influence. To
day there is a very great falling
off in interest and attendance up
on church services. This spells
trouble ahead for the future.
Automobiles are in a measure
responsible for this. They are cap
acitated to become great bless
ings, they can also become a curse
if misused. The Saturday meeting
in the country church is a thing
of the past but the crowds of
church members in the towns on
Saturdays are the largest ever
seen in the history of the world.
One of our greatest weekly
newspapers a few days ago had
some very startling things to say
about poorly paid teachers and
preachers.
Conditions now are abnormal,
the salary of an unskilled laborer
is greater than that of a college
trained worker, a colored train
porter gets more than a preacher
but when another generation
comes on that has to do with
poorly paid and unefficient teach
ers and preachers then education
and religion will not have created
formable enviroment for achiev
ing success and the world will be
in a desperate shape.
People in one church pay now
better than ever before, but the
Lord wants more than money, he
wants men and women, he wants
life and service.
Th.e average Sunday School of
300 has less than thirty five regu
lar attendants. The average
church of 400 members has an
average attendance of less than
150. Church attendance is not a
perfect register of Christian in
terest, but where a man’s treasure,
is there will his heart be, and the
average fellow wouldn’t exist
very long minus bis heart.
If someone were to count tbe
attendants upon divine worship
in all the Winder Churerhes next
Sunday, and compare the figures
with the church rolls it would be
an eye-opener.
The trouble lies in the fact
that the church members think
the church is the field when
Christ teaches that the world is
the field.
The church is a force to be
wielded instead of a field to be
cultivated, an army to fight in
stead of a nursery full of children
to feed, and when we come to
realize this the plan will be filled
and pleasure seeking, easse loving
Christtians will cease to neglect
the assembling of themselves to
gether. Every church member in
Barrow County ought to resolve
how to be loyal to the Christ and
the church and attend regularly
upon all the services.
