Wasson’s Great May Silk Sale Begins Monday V {See Details in Sunday Paper)

ATTENDANCE AT EASTER SERVICES APPROXIMATELY 166,000.

FEDERATION IS GRATIFIED

The following summary of reports received from Indianapolis churches has been given out by the Church Federation: "Easter Sunday was the most notable day that has ever been experienced In the religious life of the city of Indianapolis. The churches of the city had been looking forward to this day with great anticipation inasmuch as it marked the close of the six months’ evangelistic campaign under the auspices of the Church Federation of Indianapolis. Plans had been made by the churches to make It a great day in the 'city. Owing to the fact that the day was bright and sunny, the largest attendance ever recorded for church and Sunday school In any one day was made, there being a total aggregate attendance at all the services of that day approximately of 166,000. ■During these six months of evangelistic campaign, the churches have been unitedly working for the winning of 10,000 people Into active church fellowship and church membership by Easter Sunday. This work of ingathering haa been going on constantly on through all the days of this period, under the supervision of pastors, and personal workers’ committees, which the pastors had appointed early in the season. Reports which have come into the office of the Church Federation now reveal the fact that approximately 8,000 people have united with the churches of this city since October 1, 1915. "Had the Church Federation called for the total accessions to the churches since last Easter, or for the period of one year, there Is no doubt but that the 10,000 would have been reported The leaders of the churches are all greatly pleased, however, with this united co-operative movement in that it has brought into

the fellowship of the Protestant churches of Indianapolis a total of 8,000 people who ha\e already been assimilated by the churches and who are In active Christian wrvice at this time They fee! tliat this is a great accomplishment which has been secured through the broad-spirited ami sympathetic co-operation of the men and w'omen of ait the city '‘hurchea "Through thla report It haa been discovered that the total active membership of the Protestant churches of Indlanapol s Is about 66,000. In addition to this memberthip, there are as many aa ji).0<» to lOO.W amliating membera, consisting of adults and children who have not yet actively identified themselvea In full membership with the churches. It would seem from these reports that the total Protestant religious force of Indianapolis would be not far from 168 000 people. There is no doubt but that the religious life of Indianapolis has been greatly intensified In the last three years as the result of this co-operative movement and the continuous methods of church advertising which have been used both by the federation and the lorAl pastors In the Indianapolis press The churchgoing editorials of the Chur-h Federation, which appear weekly In The Indianapolis News, and the churchgoing Sundays, which ari widely advertised throughout the city, have greatlj increased church attendance everywhere. Property Worth $3,500,000. "A further fact has been revealed by the report.s which have been received, that the estimated value of Protestant church property in Indianapolis approximately is $8,600,000 This Is a Vast deal of capital to be Invested in church property and the Church Federation is continuously urging that, owing to such an investment, the most efficient methods known to the present business world should be applied to the use of this investment In order that the largest possible returns should come to the community through the years. The pastors of the city are realizing this, and are applying modem methods of efficiency to the work of the local church in order that it may ndnlster In the largest way to the upbuilding of the social unit "The Church Federation wishes to express Its satisfaction at the showing that has been made and attributes great praise to all the local pastors for their hearty co-operation in the work which has been undertaken for the year and which in fact has been theirs. 'The evangelistic committee, which has had in charge the last year's campaign, met yesterday and worked out a iwogram for next year’s campaign which It will submit to the Indianapolis Ministerial Association at its meeting next Monday morning at the Roberts Park church."
