!. All men in business must advertise in
some way, All mon in business do adver-
tise somehow.
?. Newspapers afford the best general
medium,
8. The object Of advertising is simply to
bring buyer and seller togother-successful
advertising must, therefore, do three things;
I. Be ineligible and explicit as to the
things on sale.
II. It must reach the class likely TO buy.
III. It must persuade them that it will
be to their advantage to come and buy.
l. The interest of sellers, buyers and ad-
vertising mediums are mutual.
5. Sellers, buyers and newspapers are all
throo equally interested in sustaining this
mutual relation.
C. The common notion of patronage as re-
CARDS newspapers is iallacious. As all per-
sons are buyers, all sellers should be Gdver-
tisers. As nearly all persons are sellers, all
buyers should take newspapers-in both
cases for their own sake not the newspapers
sake.

We want q religion that softors the step,
tunes the voice to melody, fills the eye with
sunshine, and checks the impatient excla-
nation and harsh rebuke. A religion that
is polite, deierential to superiors, courteous
to interiors and considerate to friends; re-
ligon that goes into the family, keeps the
husband from being cross when dinner is
late, and nc wife from fretting when the
husband tracks the enewly-washed floor with
his muddy boots, and makes him mindful
Of the scraper and the door-mat; keeps the
mother patient when tine baby is cross and
amuses the children as well as instructs
them, cares for the servants besides paying
them promptly, projects the honeymoon in
to the harvest moon, and makes the happy
home like the Eastern fig tree, bearing in
ITS beauty at once the beauty of the tender
blossom and the glory of the ripened fruit.
We want a religion that shall interpose be-
tween the ruts and the gullies and rocks of
the highways Of life and the sensitive souls
that are travelling over them. In short, q
religion that will stimulate people to pay
their just debts between man and man, and
less preaching about one thing and then
practicing another. This is the kind of re-
ligion that honest, well-moaning people
want, and not so much of the hypocrite,
