of Tabor, Alberta, Canada, and Mrs.
A. c. McCulloch, of Minneapolis,

of this devoted husband, father and
brother.
We note with satisfaction that Geo.
Friend was not only devoted husband
and father, but that he was friend
by name and in nature, 1t is not often
that there is that peculiar blending Of
the Christian with the character and
disposition of the one who bears it.
And he had friends, many of them.
He will be missed by them as not many
are missed who are called of God to
the Great beyond. We don't believe
that there was happier man in the
community than Mr.. Friend. Always
we will remember his pleasant face
and his hale, well.mer greeting. Add
to this his kindness, even temper, love
of children. and industry and you have
his better qualities-qualities good fors
anyone to possess.
He was suddenly summoned by God
on the morning of Sept. 1.
The family have the sympathy Of the
entire community in this their great
bereavement.
Funeral services of Mr.. Friend were
held Thursday at Bonair at the home

The dread of being called sensationaist is

"A sensationalist is one who creates SEN
sation 1t may be either a good one or bad
one"
The Rev Sydney Herbert Cox describes him
as "one who tells the truth strikingy, as did

The minister who is worth the name OF

the wrong Interpretation and at the same time
gladly enforce the right Interpretation.
The whole question of sensationalism
hinges on the sincerity and high motive OF
the minister. When he is utterly devoted to
the purpose Of having men and women intro
duced to the Christ as a Saviour, he may use
any method that will not defeat that end.
The minister who advertises in the right
way will cultivate his personality to the high
est possibility He will accumulate all the
magnetism, knowledge, humanity and heart
power within his reach. He will then direct
them to the end of bringing results for the
kingdom in whose service he is enlisted. He
will be so engrossed at this task and so de-
voted to his ideal of service that he will
neither seek for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT nor
strive for cZar-like power and develop stub
born egotism. Neither will he be moved by
filings that are unfounded and that would
otherwise sour his hearts love and embitter

Gradually they were inaugurated, ana 10 man

been added to the church, and an audience
which had averaged two hundred now runs
over one thousand regularly Nearly two mil
lion pieces OF advertising matter have been put
out. Including every kind that could be discov-
cred which was within the range OF the meagre
financial resources OF the church.
These experiences have deepened my conVlc

the gratifying results advertising has brought

Ten years ago the bank which would adver-
tise caused suspicion about It's solidity. Now
none can do business without 1t, and people
are afraid of the one that does not publish
facts proving Its solidity. John Cotton Dana

tiles of his institution, and in this way has
greatly increased the number of readers using

erages widely advertised are greatly helping

their income for 1911.
II all these things which add TIC the happi-
ness. liberty. health and usefulness of the pop

reason Is there that the church may not do the
same? We are to publish the gospel-the COS.

Why Churches Should Be AdvertisI
Bv the Rev. DR.. Christian f. Reisner,
Pastor Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, N. Y.

pei II the gospel Is requisite TO make people
happy We must certainly compel them to
recognize that fact as compel them to rec
ognize the wisdom Of putting their money In
sound banks OF reading good books OF drink
ing healthful beverages and of helping to
stamp out disease.
Let us consider some objections frequently
made to church advertising. 1T reduces re
gion to a too common level" some says
J answer by saying that ] believe It will be a
fine thing when the gospel is carried into every
level Of the community the lowest as we'll az
the highest Another says that ut takes away
the churchs sacredness" The church Is sacred
only when II works The souls OF people as
yeast is good only when It makes bread rise.
II Is not kept sacred by isolation. Another
says that advertising secluarizes the church
by putting IT on the same basis as commercial
institutions" We ought, rather. to say that
when we bring religion alongside OF CONNER
cial institutions It ought to be powerful enough
to spritualize them.
Some one suggests that the church Is the
only institution dealing IN It's line, and hat II
people want any Of It's goods they know where
TO come. The Southern Pacific Railroad Ia the
only railroad running along the coast; yet 1t
advertises persistently to create business--to
get the people into the desire for travelling
so that they win use the line. People will not
come to the church unless we show them that
they need the things the church has to offer.
Some may complain Of the cost Of adver-
Using q church. There are rev small Souls
who try to figure out how much IL costs to
save a man. When the year is done there
have been only certain net number added to
the membership, and they distribute all the
expense among those few Do forget that
It costs money to keep people saved and that
every person in he church has a good influence
on hundreds who are outside OF the church?
Advertising may not bring in literal cash, but
Il widens the churchs influence, sets hundreds
TO thinking and Restraints many who would 90
deeper into sin and whom would otherwise
never know about
What a fine thing 1t would be II company
Of Christian men could I'll a page in daily
newspaper frequently and use this space to
testify to the friendship OF Jesus and the happy
results of companionship with him and obed-
lence to his directions. Such testimony would
do more good than sermons by score OF
preachers in pulpits that run along as they
nave been doing for the past centuries.
It IS sadly true that every church must hest
tate over the question OF expense which adver-
Using brings The ordinary church officials
will risk little until they can foresee the way
out" That Is usually wise for church debts
often hamper advancement. Sometimes. how
ever they are blessing. for they whip
church up TO the highest activity. But when
