PUBLICITY is The
LIGHT THAT SAVES
PROFESSIONAL MEN ARE URGED
TO "GET INTO PRINT" oc-
cAsloNALLY.

Fort Worth Texas. May 23.-At the
banquet to the Associated Advertising
Clubs of America last evening James
Schermerhorn. Of the Detroit Times
spoke as follows ON Publicity the
Light That Saves:
Publicity can do for us what the
| light that fell upon the Damascus road
aid for Saul: II can save us from our
selves. II Is the scarchlght turned
back upon our own purposes and
methods. 1t can save nations, states
and parties by uncovering the refuge
OF deceit and the hiding place of dup
licity. Some far-slghted CORPORATIONS
are beginning TO love light rather than
darkness. They are coming out OF
their secret places to give their side Of
the case 10 the common people.
Professional reserve is blinking in
the sunlight of publicity. 1t thinks
IL may be able to stand 1t eventually.
What blessing to mankind If minis
ters, doctors and lawyers would daily
let their credentials and records be
known of all men, so that publicity
could point the way straight to the
right door in the urgent hour OF stress
and need.
The medical associations lave n
greater horror of getting INTO print
than they have of transmitted infec-
tion through the marriage of the ply
sically unfit-a frequent tragedy that
might be averted If ethics did not inn
pose solemn silence upon the learned
men who could save the race through
preventive publicity. Publicity can
save bodily health through popular en-
lightenmcnt and business through
multiplied appeal.
AS a man advertses from day To
day in his own business. so is he. II

version. taking n stand i'm meeting"

CHURCHES BEHIND DEMAND

Louisville Ky. May 23.--The Board
of the Church Erection Fund. whose
president is r. G.. Burnhanl, made it's
report to the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church today.
Applications for the year 1911-f9I2
totaled S4fS,9S4 and the appropriate
S267,S19. The total receipts were S7la,-
iS1 and the total disbursements were
SSO2,s25 The report says in part
In the prosecution OF its work during
the past year. the board has aided in
building churches in every state ex-
cept five. and also in Alaska and among
the Mexicans, Mormons. Indian and
negroes.
There is a prevalent belief that the
church is losing it's influence among
men and that Christian faith is wan
ing. but the facts in the experience
of the boards of the church do not
justify that belief Never before in the
history Of our country were the re-
soures of the boards So greatly taxeu
to meet the demand for the means OF
grace and for the privileges of the
sanctuary as at the present time.
The number OF churches aided by
this board since the beginning OF its
work, in 1874. is more than 80 per cent
of the number of churches now upon
the roll of the General Assembly.
For the last ten years the annual
contributions of the church 20 this
board have advanced but $4,000. !. e..
from $4,000 20 s69.5OO---only s.s per
cent.--while the demands have in
creased rrom s2ie.e2e,5e to s443,94S-
