Prevents Substitution.

There is still another way in which
systematic advertising benefits the
buying public and safeguards the in
terests of the shopper. 1t used to
be the customary practice of UNI
scrupulous dealers-and is yet, to a
more limited eXtent-to offer some
lust as good whenever an adver-
tised article was called for But per-
sistent campaigns of educational pub
licity carried on by enterprising man
ufacturers hav largely discouraged
this practice among reputable retail
ers. They have learned that is actual
ly more profitable to retain the conf
dence of thei.' customers than to make
a few scattering sales of unadvertlsed
sumstates which are usually discover
ed to be very far from Just as good.
For if they had really been just as
good the manufacturer would not
have hesitated to adverti5e that fact
broadcast.
In to marketing of any manufac-
tured article there are always two I'M

the cost of selling or placing it in the
hands of the consumer. And whether
in the case of an advertised product
or of an unadvertised product, these
two expense items must be cheerfully

His problem, therefore, to reduce

ing manufacturer has educated the
buying public to accept no substitutes
under any circumstances, ana mora

to reduce the cost of manufacture u

and he has also brought incalculabl;

Its Educational Value.

Inc fact has been brought out by
number of recent writer's that good
advertising is not merely news that
must be read by every wide-awake
person who wishes to keep posted as
TO the progress of modern science. in
vention and business method--it is
much more than this. Advertising
OF the right sort should and does have
genuine educational value. 1t in
forms the reader as to facts of real
interest and Importance. 1t even
trains faculties along the lines Of
thoughtful observation, judicious dis
elimination and practical action. fol-
lowing upon the resolve to purchase
the desired commodity.
New inventions, new fabrics. new
articles of food and wear; the fads
and fancies of modern fashion: I'M
tried fields of thought; far-removed
scenes of foreign travel-in fact,
the whole realm of present day prog
ress and enterprise would have to be
included in any adequate account of
the true scope of advertising in its
educational respect.
The Saturday Evening Post in a
recent issue said editorially: "Ad-
vertising is one of the greatest edu-
tional forces. The man with some
thing good to sell is in a position to
increase the sum of human comfort
and happiness
John Wanamaker. the merchant
prince said: There Is much adver-
Using that contains nothing beyond
screams of alleged bargains. But
there is advertising written with a
deeper purpose. 1t does not confine
its efforts to telling you where to
! buy things of which you feel the
need-it educates desire.
To read newspaper by simply
glancing through the Geographic dis.
patches and society items, and then
to skip the advertising sections al
together, is no longer regarded as
the profitable method among well in
formed and enterprising people. But
whether they realize its educational
value or not. the fact remains that
the newspaper reading public does
read the advertisements, and to a
large part of the reading public the
advertising columns are quite as in
teresting as any other section of the

 The speaker said among other things that the world movement was not away from Christ but on the other hand showed His influence everywhere. The scientific movement, while ap- parently materialistic and counter to christianity had simply opened up a larger world space, given a new per spective to history, and made possible a larger conception of God. The great men who have grown up in this new world are telling us of the reality of religion, of the Omnipresent ethical trend. the universal lift.

THE CHURCHES
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Sunday morning. March 18th, Rev. Henry Martyr Campbell, the pastor preached from the text, 'Ye are the light Of the world Following is an abstract from the discourse:
 Who are the light of the world? If the Lord Jesus Christ intended that these words of his were to apply only to those to whom he spoke directly. there is nothing in them for you and for me. In the light of Christ's life and teachings we are led to conclude that Christ spoke these words to all who believe in his name, and intended that We should rule our lives by them.
 The text, "Ye are the light of the world" implies that there is darkness in the world. Christ evidently means by 'ithe world" the people in the world mankind, the natural world. the un- enlightened world. The bible is full of implications that there is darkness in the world. However, We need not be told that there is sin in the warld. We can not get away from it. All his tory and our own experience teach the fact of it's existence. Conscience teach es it. In the efforts of the nations to overcome the conditions brought about by sin. they have raised up a multitude of gods. History is the record of mans struggle against sin. Every or ganiZatiOn is, in its last analysis. an effort to overcome the effects of sin. Science, education. philosophy are all efforts in that direction. Sin is the
