IyycHBuRG.-The editor of the Religious Herald
who was in our city during the Baptist Association
saGs of it;
1--WE noted several buildings erected since our pre-
,tous anniversary meetings in 1916. in our somewhat
crcumscribed perambulations-and no doubt much
larger number might have been seen in the suburbs
II il unique, yet picturesque town its steep accents
,fording fine exercise for dYspeptic invalid We
presume ii owes lis origin rather 10 peculiar circum-
stances than 10 choice we think that most per-
sons. in selecting site for commercial enrepot
would have passed il by. Nevertheless il Is bast
ling thriving town inhabited b. an energetic and in
dustrions community. The delegates were cordially
received, and most Hospitality entertained not by
B lptists alone, but by members of other churches
an by citizens not connected with any denomina-

.tDvERTIsING.-The following hits upon advertising
ON an exchange, are deserving of attentions
"rhat advertising is among the powerful agencies
t. in business has been too often demon stra-
as extensively known a. the potentates of the world
Rowland and DAY Martin have been heard of in
every quarter of the globe. Hooway's name is ms
well known in the western wilderness as that of Ma
poleon in La Nendee. Every child in the country
can tell you that Redding is the great Russian Salve
man, while four-ffths of them never heard of the
name of Governor Gardner. "Oak Hail. is better
known throughout England than the palace of st.
James, and every reader ola newspaper can more
readily name the great advertisers ofthe country than
the members of General Pierce's Cabinet
But advertising to be useful must be followed ju-
diciousy keep it before the people" is as good
for the business man as for the political party. The
man who advertises only and then, and through
any channel that presents itself will be likely to get
such harvest of business from Il as the farmer would
whomanures sparngly, and then, and scatters it
haphazard over his fields. An advertiser who pub
fishes but or twice year, is like jack olan-
tern which is now and then forgotten while the
advertiser who constructs his advertisement with
kill and keeps them constantly before the public
during the business season, is like steady light which
throws its light far and wide"
