CHURCH ADVERTISING

Among the want ads" in The
Sunday Gate City of February 2 was
one reading as follows:
MEN WANTED-To attend the mems
meeting at the First Presbyterian
church this evening.
For many years this paper has
been giving large space to the announce
ments OF church services and items
of information concerning church
work. On one or two occasions dis
play advertisements of church SER
vices have been published, but the
instance noted above is believed to
be the first in which the want" col
umns of The Gate City have been
used for the purpose. The departure
though a new one is a good one AS
a rule, publication of church an
nouncements in these columns has
been gratuitious, but there is no good
reason why additional space should
not be purchased and used to in
crease interest in church services and
secure larger attendance.
In a recent address at the McCor-
mick Seminary at Chicago the Rev.
Dr. Charles Stelzle, superintendent
of the Presbyterian department of
church and labor, urged with some
force the importance of the churches
using the advertising columns of the
daily paper in the furtherance of

The Voice of the People

Editor The Argus: Referring back

to suggest and with others organize
the Citizens Improvement associa-
ton, everything about the city of
Rock Island had a neglected appear
ance. There was no grade that was
respected. Botten wooden sidewalks
were to be seen all over the city.
Parks unimproved. streets shame
fully neglected and overrun with
grass and weeds. Very little build
ing was in progress. Our mechanics
had to go to other cities to find en-
ployment.
Immediately all was changed. Our
association, comprising 1875 citizens,
took hold with a will. The press,
all powerful, seconded our efforts.
With much persuasion appropriations
were secured from the city council
to improve Spencer and Garnsey
squares. Special assessments were
urged on the city council so that
street paving could be begun. Soon
everything in the way of building and
business was booming, w nOI0 streets
were lined with attractive homes.
Extensive factories and beautiful new
stores were built, furnishing employ

resulting in the doubling Of our city

their work and gave some good rea-
sons therefor when he said.
THE newspaper is by far the best
advertising medium for the church
for general publicity purposes. 1t
has the advantage of appearing every
day and it is read By practically every
man and woman in town.
Sometimes ministers and chur-
ches complain about the Inaccuracies
of the newspaper, but they rarely
give the reporters the slightest assis-
lance in getting the church story
straight. The reporter is looked up
on as an intruder instead of friend
There should at least be a cour-
teous cooperation in furnishing news
items of public interest.
The churches often imagine
everybody in town knows where they
are located This is not true, even
in the case where the church has long
been established There is constant
need for publicity. 1t is up TO the
church to get new business for ;he
older members move away. and some
times they die.
Every church Of any Importance
should have an expert advertising
manager, who knows how TO prepare
advertising materials. 1t need not
employ such a man on full time, but
he should be consulted. just as we
consult other professional men who
are experts in their departments.
Few preachers know how to prepare

ITO conduct an effective advertis-
ing campaign, the church should set
aside an appropriation which must be
used for this purpose alone"
There is truth and force IN what
Mr. Stelzle says. and IL is not TO be
doubted that the church advertising
he proposes would yield satisfactory
results. Neither the dignity nor the
influence Of the church would suffer
from q wisely conducted publicity

and work. The more the church can
be brought TO the attention Of man
kind the better for all concerned.-I

A Special REQUEST

The Pioneer Press earnestly re-
quests that the candidates in the
piano contest who are now hold
ing out" votes turn them in not
later than Thursday of next week.
If the candidates hold out their
votes until the closing day, Satur-
day, September %, the judges will
be so swamped with work on that
evening that they will not be able
to finish before midnight. Natur-
ally the public will be anxious to
hear the results soon after the count.
Candidates will confer a special
favor on the Pioneer Press and the
judges by complying with this re-
quest and turning in Withheld votes
before Thursday, Sept. 14th.
According to Voluntary Observer
Thomas the total precipitation DUR
ing the three days rainfall. COM

or approximately four inches. The
rain has soaked the earth to a depth
of several inches. Coming at this
time, the heavy rainfall of the first
part of the week was not hilarious
ly welcomed, as there is still a great
deal of grain to cut, but it is gener-
ally admitted that no great damage
was done and the more optimistic
are saying that it will be a great aid
to fall blowing and will mean an
ideal autumn-not one of the dry
dusty kind. The weather at pres.
ent is clear and warm.
