PROGRESS OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCHES, BY LOCATION 1949-1953

FOREWORD Open Country Vill.ge Town Cit Recently, in a meeting where an opportunity was given to ask PER CENT GAIN questions, a pastor said: "I have just read President Eisenhower’s ‘State of the Union’ message. It told me much about the progress and achievements of our nation last year. Where can one find a complete report on the progress and achievements of Baptists?” Well, here it is, the 1954 Southern Baptist Handbook. On the cover page of a current book, "How to Lie With Sta tistics,” the publisher has this to say: “An independent survey made by the publishers shows that this book has more sound information (and more laughs) per page than any other book of the same title.” That could be said of this book! Seriously, I believe the “sound, information” concerning our denomination as found in this 1954 Southern Baptist Handbook to be unmatched by any book of any title. Here is what you may expect to find as you turn through the pages of the Handbook. You will find that Southern Baptists are the fastest growing major denomination in the world; that we number 7,886,016 members in 29,496 churches; that we baptized 361,835 in 1953; that we gave $278,851,129 through our churches last year; and th;ft our church property value now exceeds one billion dollars. You will find a complete breakdown of Baptist work and achieve ments, in all areas of work, including graphs and tables; a directory of Southern Baptist agencies; a section on the growth and progress of approximately 'sixty-five religious bodies; another section on population trends, crime, and the liquor traffic; and finally the individual record of approximately two thousand Southern Baptist churches. This exhaustive information is possible because of the co-opera tion and help of thousands of church clerks, associations! clerks, state and Convention-wide denominational leaders. Grateful appre ciation is acknowledged here for an efficient office staff who worked as a team to produce this volume: Martin Bradley, Mary Alice Wright, Mrs. Carl Hester, Betty Bass, Genell Masters, and Althea Smith. With the publishing of this book, the stewardship of Southern Baptists for 1953 is permanently recorded in the archives of our Baptist history. And, as our harvests from our labors have been weighed, counted, and valued, we turn, not to triumph, but to dedicate. The hearts, the lives, the hopes of people hang in the balance. We are the stewards of the gospel of redemption. We dare not fail. J. P. Edmunds, Editor 4 THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST HANDBOOK, 1954 THE BAPTIST POPULATION 5

THE INCREASING REACH OF LITERATURE W. D. KENDALL These graphs show the percentage of growth of the United States population in each age group, compared with the Baptist Sunday School Board literature the Baptist churches are ordering for them. These charts indicate the effectiveness of Baptist efforts to reach more people. Study carefully the age groups in which you are interested to discover if Southern Baptists are keeping up with the population in those groups. In the Summary chart, note that the total U. S. population is increasing at the rate of approximately 2 per cent per year while Southern Baptist Membership is gaining at the rate of about 4 per cent. Literature sales to Southern Baptists are gaining about 9 per cent. These graphs are based on percentage of annual gain, and are not the numerical figures. Example: On the Summary graph, the U. S. Population line is below the Southern Baptist Membership line because Southern Baptists are gaining faster percentage-wise than the U. S. population. 52 THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST HANDBOOK. 19M BAPTIST DIRECTORIES 53
