Monument
to Composer Verdi

TVS evidence Of the high esteem IN
n which the works Of that famous
composer Of operas. eluseDps
Verdi. are held by Americans and
as a tribute to the memory OF their
dead countryman. the italian colony
In the United States has had a beau
tiful monument carved and sent to
New York to be unveiled on October II.
ChevaIier Pasquale Civiletti. a well
known sculptor of Palermo, italy. was
chosen by the committee to execute this
important commission. 1t has met with
the approval OF the Italians in charge
of the monument fund and the Com
missioner of Parks for the Borough OF
Manhattan. which will hold the Verdi
memorial
The monument is about twenty-five
feet in height and is composed entirely
of fine Carrara marble and dark tinted
granite. On top of a round granite
shaft, which is capped by laurel
wreath, stands the imposing figure OF
Verdi as he looked in the heyday OF
his career.
The granite shaft on WHICH the figure
OF the composer stands rests on a
square base OF the same dark stone, and
surrounding the central column are
four smaller figures, In Carrara marble,
representing operarfc creations of Yer
di. They are "OteIIo." Aida "Fal-
stair and La FOrza del DeStfno.
Soon after the death OF Verdi. on
January 25. 1901, Signor Charles Bar
sotti. the editor of an Italian news
paper, conceived the idea OF collecting
a subscription to perpetuate in marble
the memory of Italy's favorite composer
and the man whose operas were loved
by the whole world Contributions
poured in from all parts Of the United
States from Italians wn0 recently emf
grated to this country and from those
who have become American citizens.
In the end $4,000 was subscribed to
the monument fund and the order for
the sculpture and the design was given
out. The monument has been finished
now for some time and has been on
view in Italy. where 1t was wrought.
The commission appointed to decide up
on its acceptance comprised American
and Italian representatives OF the two
governments and sculptors.

to advertise was decidedly small. BY
the aid of advertising we have sue
ceeded in filing the church Sunday
nights. And as further evidence that
1t pays all the other Protestant
churches of San Jose have taken it up.
and pay for space in the papers pre-
cisely the same as our church Is doing.
Even the Episcopal church Is adver-
tising now. But. by the way, we do
not call 1t advertising; we refer to
our published notices as announce
ments.'
What Is the church advertising
that pays bestg' was asked.
The Best Advertisement.
The advertising that pays best"
answered Mr.. Mills. Is honest adver-
tising; that is, advertising that does
not over-announce. The advertising
that takes here in San Jose Is that
which Is dignified but at the same time
has enough of the extraordinary about
IL to attract attention. While IL must
steer clear of the theater advertising
style, it must be interesting. There
must be something in it that will in
terest people outside the churches.
There should not be the suggestion of
the church notice about it; church no
tices are for the church notice column
But the great essential is not to over
advertise. Avoid the clothing store
method of exaggeration. You must be
prepared to deliver the goods that you
advertise. Whenever you advertise a
musicale, a sermon or a speaker and
do not come up to what you promise
more harm than good is done You may
draw an audience that time, but you
will not the next.
The substance of church advertising
is about this: 1t is an attempt to at
tract the attention and secure the at
tendance of those who are not ordi-
narily interested in religion by an
nouncements of a readable. sane and

the church increases the attendance.
"Ad" That Startled the World.
AS usual thing Mr. Mills writes his
own advertisements, but during his
absence one day this duty was LETT to
an enthusiastic lady member of his
congregation. whose faith in the value
OF printers ink is unbounded. She
wrote an advertisement that was
echoed around the world. 1t read:
FOUND ASLEEP.
So you slept in church yester-
day. did you? Well. it was rather.
a drowsy day. but IL you had been
at the Second Presbyterian Church
you wouldn't have dozed. The pas
tor preached two searnest. enthu-
siastic sermons. and the music was
alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hillman-
Smith sang that old favorite, "The
Holy City," to the enjoyment OF all.
and rendered two anthems. An
old-timer there looked around and
remarked to n bystander: well,
1 declare, I thought that I knew
every one who comes to this
church, but the last few weeks 1
didn't seem to know more than
half of them"
San Jose had settled down to take
clurcn advertising as matter OF
course, but that advertisement para
lyzed the town. 1t was copied from
one end OF the world to the other
paper published in Scotland had Of
fered a-prize of five pounds for the most
extraordinary advertisement of the
year. The Found Asleep Ad" was cut
from some London paper that had
copied it, sent TO Scotland and took the
prize.
Incidentally, 1t reopened the whole
church advertising controversy in San
Jose; but the churches had grown to
look upon such advertising as a pretty
good thing; anyhow, 1t had become too
firmly rooted to be undone by single
sensation creating incident, and church
advertising at San Jose continued.
Churches Show Effects.
Does church advertising pay?' said
Mr. Mills, when the question was put
to him at his study in San Jose last
week. "Of course it pays. Our church
shows that. AS you know. we are a
little out of the way of things, and
while our morning congregations were
all that could be asked, attendance at
the evening services before we began

write such an advertisement. but II
can be done. and we are doing IL.
-As a sample of an ideal church ad-
vertisement," continued Mr.. Mills. Z"
consider that which we printed when
Ellen Stone, the missionary, spoke IN
our church as good as any I could
show YOU"
The announcement to which Mr.. Mills
referred reads as follows:
THE ONLY ONE.
The name of no living woman 10
50 familiar through all the world
as that OF Ellen Stone, the devoted
missionary who was held captive
months. She will tell her expert
ences with the brigands a week
from tonight at the Second Pres
byterian Church.
I'VE had something worth while to
say" went on Mr.. Mills. "and we said
it directly and simply. 1t flled the
church to the doors"
Church Display Ads"
AS samples of display ads the fol-
lowing are taken from Mr. Mills scrap

was asked
I'VE generally begin to make our
announcements for Sunday on Friday"
Mr.. Mills replied. Sometimes on
Thursday. If we have anything special
we begin as early as Monday Ths
longer we advertise. the better the re-
suits With the help OF the papers here
in San Jose we f1l1 the churches fun.
1t would be absolutely impossible to
do so without the aid OF the papers"
Such is the experience with printers
Ink of the minister who advertised, be-
lieves in advertising and has results
to show that such advertising pays.
The visitor to San Jose who will open
the San Jose morning paper at page
seven, say on Friday or Saturday. will
see there a column OF church adver-
tisements, the like OF which cannot be
found perhaps anywhere else In tho
world. And even the most biased OF
us must admit that seldom is printers
ink put to better use.
