CHURCH CONTRIBUTIONS AND ATTENDANCE. 
The effect on the standard of living of attending and supporting 
the church is a point frequently discussed by social workers. To 
bring the findings of the present study to bear upon this point, the 
families were grouped according to the amount contributed to the 
support of the church and the attendance of adults at church and 
Sunday school, and the average expenditures per cost-consumption 
units were worked out for these groups (Tables 21 and 22).
