...Federal Council of Churches printed last week a table issued by the United Stewardship Council showing church giving (for all purposes) during the church fiscal year which ended, variously according to denomination, between December 1930 and April 1931. Average decrease from the previous year: 6.5%. It is estimated that the next decrease, when tabulated, will be greater.

Though it was only on paper, it was used in the campaign as an argument by Republicans against a change in administration, by Democrats as a sign of bad stewardship. By October, President Coolidge foresaw an even break between receipts and expenditures. By December, when President Coolidge sent his budget to Congress, he had discovered a timorous little surplus of 37 millions peeping up at him. By March it had risen to 50 millions. Last week Mr. McCoy, anonymously, of course...
