Only 42% of the communicants supported their churches by attendance or otherwise. Attendance varies inversely with the size of communities, the urban Eastern States averaging the lowest (36%) and the rural Southeastern States the highest...

Plain people often mistook the meaning of the grant, thought they were getting relief from guilt and punishment by a mere outward act. From the fact that they were willing to pay for indulgences arose the scandalous abuses against which Martin Luther thundered. Today indulgences may be gained in innumerable ways: attending newly-dedicated churches (50 to 200 days), giving alms to charitable orders, visiting certain...
