Anyone who thinks churches dont involve money and plenty oi it should look at financial statistics released by the National Council of Churches. During fiscal year 1967, 73 U.S. Protestant denominations gave their churches a total of $3,612,-671,6and five additional Canadian communions in the survey reported a total income of Dealers from Utah, Arizona, Montana California, Idaho, and Washington will begin moving their wares into the church early next week. CHURCH BUILDIN G The proceeds will be used for church building needs and benevolent projects such as providing layettes used in medical missionary work. The sale will be open and Thursday Wednesday from noon until 10 p.m. and from noon until 8 p.m. Friday. Dinners will be served on and Thursday Wednesday nights. A snack bar will be open for lunch all three days. NURSERY CARE Children under 12 years old cannot be admitted to display rooms because of the danger of breakage, but nursery care will be provided for them. Home-mad- e candies, cakes and other baked goods will be sold along with other specialty foods from the delicatessen. Refreshments will be served during the day.

Comparison of the new figure with that of previous years is almost impossible because the number of church bodies far surpasses those in previous surveys. For example, in 1966 only 41 U.S. church bodies reported a total annual income of $2,973,285,264. These and other church financial figures are included in a new booklet (Report on Church Financial Statistics and Related Data) published for the national councils Section on Stewardship and Benevolence. The list of 73 churches doesnt include all recognized churches in the U.S. Missing are such major groups as the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Christ, Scientist, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, which do not publicize stewardship figures. Also missing are figures from numerous Eastern Orthodox church bodies for the same reason. There are 124 U.S. church bodies listed in the Yearbook of American churches, so the actual donation figure is much larger. The report shows that the average per member contribution to the churches was $73.95. When combined with the five Canadian bodies, the average contribution is $80.06. The most liberal church members apparently are those of the United Missionary Church (11,733 members) who contributed an average $369.47 in 1967. This church estimates that one of every 100 members serves as a foreign missionary. Several other evangelical church bodies reported contribution averages, including the high Seventh-da- y Adventists, ($315.62; Wesleyan Methodist Church in America, $(289.90); Pilgrim Holiness Church, ($247.58) ;. National Fellowship of Brethren Churches, ($246.83), and the Brethren in Christ Church, ($241.35). The report shows that among the U.S. churches supplying breakdown statistics, an average of 19.21 per cent of all contributions was used for benevolent purposes such as national and foreign missions and church relief programs. The remainder went for local congregation expenses such as church upkeep, ministerial salaries, etc. Citing U.S. Department of Commerce figures, the report said value of new construction cf religious builde ings took a downward return from the high of $1,174,000 in 1966. The figure for 1967 is $1,093,000,000. Some average contribution figures for more common church bodies are as follows: American Baptist Convention, $82.64; American Lutheran Church, $61.97; Christian and Missionary alliance, $75.98; Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) $59.08; Church of the Nazarene, $196.91; Episcopal Church, $69.94. Evangelical United Brethren,' $83.27; Lutheran Church in America, $60.92; Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, $80.94; Presbyterian Church in the U.S., $140.16; Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, $58.83; Southern Baptist Convention, $63.87; United Church of Christ, $85.56; and the United Presbyterian Church, $111.37. hand-cu- The Rev.
