OF EDITOR TODAY
AT CHURCH RALLY
A. d. Sutherland Will Speak
at Religious Meeting
This Afternoon.

Allan ID. Sutherland. editor Of the
church section of the philadelphia
North American and a leader in the
Men and Religion Forward Movement,
speaks at the First CONGREGATIONAL
Church this afternoon at 5 O'clock ON
the question, Space Advertising for the
Churches
Advertising was discussed Yesterday
afternoon by Eugene NJ. Camp, OF New
York. Mr.. Camp said, in part; Don't
20 to the newspapers to get something
J. printed; do something TO make the
newspapers seek you. Being merely
GOOD is not news, and you must do
something out of the ordinary ~ YOU
are to have opened to you the columns
OF the newspapers, through which You
can get your message to the people"
Mr. Camp said that 1t was better for
the churches for a reporter to use the
sensational part of a pastors sermon
IN preference to other points.
Christ As Newspaperman.
Christ would have made a corkinS
good newspaper man. l say 1t reverent
~. Did 1t ever occur to you in reading
the Gospels how Christ had gone
through the field doing things on the
Sabbath? He did it thus that we should
know about it. II He had done it
otherwise, we would not have known
about IT,"
Letters have been received from
George w. Coleman, a well-known adj
Vertising expert of Boston, advocating
the use OF newspaper space for church
advertising, and from William S. Pow
crs, OF Detroit, also indorsIng news
paper advertising for churches. Mr..
Powers was to have delivered an ad-
dress yesterday, but in his letter stated
that urgent business in the West pre-
vented him from coming.
=. Sixty churches OF the District were rep
=. resented at the meeting yesterday after
noon. The representatives were great
~ impressed with the talk by Mr..
Camp. 1t is probable these men will
give favorable reports back to their
churches, and urge that publicity
bureau be established in each institu-
ton.
