Beecher on Advertising.

81 am glad that the doctor cured
him; am glad that the doctor put it in the
paper that he could cure him. And if any
doctor is certain that he can cure such dis
eases, and don't put it in the paper, | am
sorry. What a pity 1t would have been had
this doctor come to town with his wealth OF
science and experience and gone away leay-
ing him uncured! What a pity il would
have been if he had been so preiudiced
against advertising as to read the response
bic certificates OF the doctor, and give him
the go-by as a quack. What are newspapers
for, if not TO circulate information? What
more valuable information can newspaper
give than to tell a sick man where he can be
cured? If a man has devoted his life and
labor TO the study of a special class of dis
eases, the necessity for his saving so becomes
all the more pressing. HIS duty to adver-
tise becomes imperious
When was in England, l found on all
the dead walls of London placards declaring
that Dean Stanley, Chaplain to the Prince
of Wales, would preach at such place; that
his grace the Archbishop (I think of Can
terbHry would preach at another time and
place that an Oxford Professor would
preach. In short religious notices were
sprinkled in among the Theater bills: the
highest Church dignitaries were. advertised
side by side with actors, singers, clowns
and patent medicine men. OF course |
was shocked by it, but in a moment
bethought me-if it be all right and dig
ni6ed TO hire a sexton to ring bell when
the minister is going to preach, it is all the
same to silence the bell and
hire bill-sticker to tell the same
news. The essential thing is to tell the
truth every time. The remedy for the lying
is for honest men to tell the
truth. When iniquity cometh in like a
flood, then the spirit of the Lord lifts up
standard. A really able man, whatever be
his gifts, makes a great mistake il he fails to
use those gifts through want of advertis-
ing"

The Methodist ministers of the Springfield
District OF Massachusetts,, in their annual
meeting had a lively two hours discussion
on faith and healing Several OF the clergy
men held that prayer was effectual in heal
ing the sick, but the majority of the speak
ers believed that such cures were wholly the
result of imagination and will. Rev.
Frederick Woods said that il would be as
sensible for him to ask God for $4,000 as
for sick man to pray for restoration to
health. His theory was that God did not
interfere IN temporal matters at all, but only
in things concerning the soul. A layman
replied that he had been cOmforted in the
past by the preaching of Mr.. Woods. but
what he had heard on this occasion about
the uselessness of prayer greatly shook his
faith.
