ij More Than Million Members
Now in Men's Bible Classes
ij Remarkable Development of Sunday School Class as jf '
Form of Men's Organizations; Is Superseding the j| i
11 Brotherhood.
(By The Religious Rambl*>r.)
THE way in which modern religious
work assumes new forms and as
pects, and that withbut conscious
direction or leadership, is strikingly
shown in the rapid rise of the Adult
filble Class, which has grown so rap
idly in the past few years that it now
supersedes ail other forms of men's
work in the church. To-day there are
nearly a million and a quarter men
enrolled in these organized classes in
this country, with an increase that
continues at the rate of two hundred j
classes and two thousand members,
every week. More than nfty thousand .
separate organizations of men scat- !
tcreil all over the land, are now of- \
flcially enrolled with the International
Sunday School headquarters. Count
ing the classes that have not reported,
the number of men must amount to
more than two million.
Along with this amazing numerical
growth, which probably outstrips any!
secret society, or fraternal order, there I
lias gone an even more suggestive
tendency to participate in the prac
tical affairs of politics and social serv
ice. Some shrewd politicians are say-J
lint; that this new Bible class mo\e-l
ment is to-day powerful enough to
swing any election upon which It con
centrates its attention. That remark
is portentious when it Is remembered
that moral Issues are to the fore in
many places as the campaign issues.
On a Businfw Basis
The growth of the men's Bible
classes has been by the work of the
men themselves, who have applied
business methods to organizing and in
creasing the membership. The old
[ fashioned Bible class centered about
, the teacher, and was largely little
. more than a meeting with a lecture
iby the teacher. Now the organization
t itself, with its president and secretarv
and treasurer and committee, is an es
sential thing, the teacher being chosen
by the organization.
The men actually canvass their
J neighborhoods as If they were after
votes or life insurance, making definite
| reports to their leaders. There are
I many cases on record of men's Rible
classes, which a year ago numbered a
score of attendants, which now have a !
membership of a thousand men. Signs, j
like the following, in front of churches j
1 are common—"Men's Organized Bible
Class Meets Here Every Sunday at
Ten O'clock. We Xeed Two More Men
to Make the Enrollment Five Hun
dred." These figures change as the
membership grows. Usually the small
red circle with a white center —the
j emblem of the organized Bible class—
is painted on the sign.
In some cases the men's Bible classes
nre really larger than the membership
of the church itself. They go in for
all kinds of social and fraternal enter
prises. In some industrial centers they
have organized "doings" every Satur
day night to keep the men with their
full pay envelopes away from the sa
loon and other evil centers. It Is a
common story that poolrooms and
clubs have been put out of existence
by the vitality of these new men's Bi
ble classes with their Ingenuity for
good times and hearty fellowship.
One incidental effect of the Bible
class movement has been to secure for
the teaching of these classes the
strongest laymen in a community.
Lawyers, businessmen, educators and
other professional men have found this
an exhilarating field of service. As an
Illustration, the men of Holy Trinity
Chapel, Philadelphia, have, since the
Sunday campaign, organized a Bible ]
class of about one thousand members,
and George Wharton Pepper, the dis
tinguished lawyer, has agreed to be
come its teacher.
Ureal OoaLs For u Groat Force
The rise of this men's Bible class
movement has created problems, tho
principal one being an adequate ob
jective and an adequate leadership.
The men feel their strength and want
to do something practical. They are
not content to sit and speculate on |
Sundays. Most of the classes study i
the Bible in Its social service aspects. J
i Thus the recent demonstration of
| Pennsylvania men In behalf of local!
j option at llnrrishurg was overwhelm- |
ingiy a. Sunday School demonstration,
. apparently nine out of ten of the sev
eral thousand men, who went, at their
own charges, to advocate to the Legis
lature the passage of a local option
law, were memhers of the adult Bible
classes.
Clever politicians, discerning the
power of this new force, are maneu
vering to control it for their own ends.
Sunday School leaders are giving ser
ious attention to this phase of the
work; for they want It directed In
moral Issues by nonpartisan and disin
terested and competent leaders. It Is
seen that the present Sunday School
secretarial force, which has done ef
ficient service In organizing the men,
needs to be supplemented by the ablest
leadership in the church, or else the
movement may be diverted to partisan
or sectarian purposes.
A few months ago a conference was
held in Buffalo of the national leaders
of men's work, and their basis of
agreement declared that Bible study
was essential to a vital, permanent or
ganization, but that along with this
should go a comprehensive program
of Christian service for the commun
ity, the nation and the world. This
meeting also recommended the crea
tion of denominational, local, State
and national organisations of men.
Superseding the Brotherhoods
In the past two or three years there
has been a serious decline in the nu
merical strength and activity of the
various denominational brotherhoods.
The opinion is commonly expressed
that these did not provide an adequate
program for men's work. Bible study
| was needed to afford a sufficient dy
i namlc, and social service to provide
| adequate expression. Stress Is now laid
on the local church as the center of
j the men's organization, each being
[adapted to its immediate conditions.
The National Presbyterian Brother
hood abandoned Its h .'.dquarters and
dismissed Its force of secretaries. It
being felt that the Bible class move
ment has the right of way.
Visualization of the vogue of the
Bible class work is given by the var
ious Sunday School parades that are
now common throughout tho country.
As many as twenty thousand men
have paraded at' a single time in these
demonstrations.
Without premeditation or direction,
it has come to pass also that the Bible
class button is tho most common badge
seen at evangelistic meetings. The
white circle surrounded by red sym
bolizing a "White Life Safeguarded
by the Blood of Christ," has become
to be almost an evangelistic badge.
The most definite result of the cam
paigns of "Billy" Sunday, for Instance,
Is tho rapid Increase In organized adult
Bible classes. Fifty thousand men
were so enrolled In Philadelphia, and
twelve thousand in Scranton. The
Bible class ties the new converts and
other Interested men to a local
church; * sets them to work for oth
ers. It restrains them from religious
excesses by regular Bible study.
This new force, which has been un
leashed in American life, has possi
bilities that reach out in many direc
tions, and all students of the trend of
the times will keep a careful eye upon
it.
