Pastors Report Congregations
increasing as, Result of
New Departure

the advertising campaign carried
en- by the churches of Honolulu Is at.
tracing the attention Of people in
every section OF the city. Each OF the
churches interested. in the campaign
reported an increased attendance at
both services last SuILay.5. At one OF
the churches there were three times
rs many men present as women; at an.
other, the men far outnumbered the
women; While the purpose Of the ad.
Vertising Is TO arouse the interest OF
10th men and women, the committee
at present Is giving first attention to
the men, II has found that II the men
are Interested, the religious problem
Of the home is solved, since the ma.
joFity Of women are regular attend
ants at, church
One evidence OF the interest bein g
shown Is the recent application OF
the newly.formed church at Kalihi for
admission to the Inter-Church Fedora
ton so that IL might unite In the cam
paignf and lend its aid as well as re-
oeiye the benefits from It, A number
of the leading religious les,'ers have
expressed themselves rs blivfng that
such a campaign as now being carried
ON is what Is most needed in Heno.
FaIll at this time. During the past few
years there have been various move.
Itents 10 interest men in religion, hut
none that directly connected men to
the church. The pastors think that a
movement to reach men through the
use OF the newspapers Is one that will
have far.reaching effect on the life Of
the community. ....~ Ii ~
One of the results expected by
those I'M charge of the work was that
the churches them selves would come
to realize that they have not been
doing enough to reach the people who
20 not attend church. Already several
of the churches have called their men
together ara sent them out to invite
their acquaintanees to support the
church. They recognize the fact that
there is a. great deal of truth in the

BROAD. ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
INCREASES CHURCH ATTENDANCE

old advertising phrase we are advoT-
tised by our loving friends" They
know that the best advertising that
can come from the churches is from
the people who have tasted and
seen" One word from a person who
has attended church regularly, and
by il been ,uplifted anal helped, often
will cause a man TO take a new inter
est in church life.
Another result certain is that reli-
giGn Will be talked about by all classes
Of people in the city. The church too
long depended upon reaching the PEG
pie through the meetings held each
week. They either came to one OF
these meetings or were in no way
reached. The new movement which
is spreading over the country is to
make such use of the, daily papers
that whether the people go TO church
or not. they will have to see some re-
ligious message Some one has said
that when the day comes that reli.
gious. news is as prominent in the
daily papers as is the church spire on
the landscape, then religion will be-
gin to vitality affect the life Of the
people,
This all means that the churches
are becoming moderniZed in their
methods of work. In the Church and
the Press" the authors say that lin
spite Of the Development in our age
OF a general efficiency in all matter
Of trade and commerce, the church
has in no wise kept pace. Her eff.
cheney and resourcefnlness are in I'M
favorable. comparison with the
achievements and impressive activi-
ties elsewhere. The Christian church
notes with humiliation that after 2000
years she still has the. bulk Of her
work yet ito. do. She, has just begun
her task in. a definite and fruitful
way nAsome realms of service" But
they add that the new attitr.'e toward
publicity through the papers is a@def-
mite indication that a new. policy. is,
being worked out They are now be-
ginning to obey Christ's command to
Let your light so shine before men

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PR0BLEM
BIZ A LOCAL PASTOR

ldividuaf members Of the church get
ting their work done, not by doing it
themselves, but by getting others to
do it. We have come to position
new where we have got almost to pay
everybody for everything done in the
church of Christ. We can scarcely get
card distributed without paying
J someone. We can hardly get an in
yitation taken across the street with
out paying somebody to do 1t. We
are all roxyites-eyeryone trying to
shirk his responsibility and put it on
the shoulders OF somebody else. Oh,
the time has come when the great,
throbbing, suffering hungering, dis
couraged world needs something more
than an official-it needs a heart!
Some time ago q young woman in
this church, who has competency,
enough to keep her at least, and yet
who works every day for a salary
and gives every penny of that salary
to the church, brought half Of the
amount to me. She said, Every
month propose to give you. half Of
this amount for the purpose of re-
lieving suffering inaany.,shape or form
or fashion you may come across. with
this one proyiso: you are not to give
one penny of II to anybody for any
thing that you can not yourself per-
snnally accompany. For 1 have learn
ed" She said, that there is more in
word of encouragement from you
than there is in a weeks, feeding when
7 am hungry" That girl, has, caught
the vision. She has. seen. the secret.
She did not know it.. She thought it
was because of her own peculiar lido
syncrasy that she felt like making
that restriction. but-bless, her heart!
she had caught, the vision of God.
She has seen Christ, for that is ex-
actly what he wants, and that is ex-
actly what he must have. My breth-
rem. until the church wakes up to this
fact, it will continue as it is today;
the breach between thel church and
the world will get wider and wider.

Gaze SOUNDED FOR UNIVERSAL
DAf'0f PRAYER FOR STUDENTS

Why is it of transcendent import.
ance that more prayer be enlisted on
behalf of the student world? Be
cause the most remarkable spiritual
achievements in this field have taken
place as result of sincere and faith
full intercession. Because the key to
the solution of the other problems re-
lated to the evangelization OF, stu
dents, and the releasing of their
spiritual energies lies in, the nantes
tation of the power of God in answer
to prayer. Because those who have
devoted themselves most to true in
tereessioA for students are most en-
phatic in their expression of convic-
ton that the possibilities of such in
tercession are simply boundless. An.
other reason why this matter of tmul-
tiplying the number of intercessors
should receive more attention is be-
cause there are so many Christians
in all parts of the world who know
that they should be intercessors, and
that they could be intercesSors, but
who have failed to master their cir
cumStances and to devote themselves
to this most important. ministry
There is need of fresh emphasis also
on the fact that one of the most
Christlike forms of work is that of
intereession, for He not only taught
and commanded His followers to
pray for. others, but Himself likewise
prayed for others and ever liveth to
make inteFeession. A.. b., . =.
Whatever can be, done, therefore,
in each country by those to whom
this call comes, to set, forth among
Christians the urgent need of prayer.

the business Man of Influence:


To the business Man of Influence:
Much has been sa4G &Jout the great
amount Of immortality existing on
these islands, especially right here in
our beautiful city.
Let US look for the cause and where
to place the blame, or, rather who
are the most responsible for this ter
rible condition.
Shall we look to the young people
first, the Young man just entering INTO
business life, or to the honored BUSH
ness man. or to the man of much re-
sponsibility, the man of home and
family?
We will look. to the latter man first
and consider his position and respon-
sibility to the community in which he
lives. Norman can live his life among
his fellow men and not be accounta-
BILE for the example which he gives to
those about him, even though he may
think no one is watching him. Be-
sides, he says, If | attend to my bust
ness properly, it is nobody else's bust
ness, what.I do when away from my
business"
But my friend. that is just where
you make your mistake.
1t is every mans business to ex-
pect a clean. upright example from
his fellow man.
Men who are in the higher posi-
tons of trust are the more cOnspicu-
Gus example, for the man below you
says, We'll, my boss can do so and
so. guess can do Just as he does"
and so it goes all along the line.
Where will such actions end? 1t is
a chain that goes round till it returns
to you, the eXamplar; therefore dare
you say, Il am not responsible for
what any other man does"
ct us look deeper and find out the
truth.
Suppose you hold a high position
Of trust: naturally YOU are not only
admired by many for the ability which
has won for you that position, but
also, you are envied perhaps by those
who had hoped for at same position.
Then think you not that many eyes
are watching you. ready to admire or
criticise? You perhaps till your po-
SltlOn with great 3bility-SO much the
better-and the greater respect do you
win from all men.
Arc you holding that respect after
YOU have closed your desk and have
left your office for home?
We are taking it for granted you
are a man with wife, children and
home
Are your interests all Centered in
that home, and your circle of friends?
Are you making life happier aud bet
ter because Of your true manly char
acter and example CT living? Are you
training YOUR boy. by your deep father
" love for him to grow up TO man
hood with the deepest respect for you
and for life. that his thoughts may be
pure, that his respect for all woman
kind may be deep and reverent?
Or. are you man living the double
life. to whom the saCredness of home
is lost and home is but the place to
exist. eat and sleep?
Or has this prosperity turned your
head so that YOU want to taste. what
so many falsely regard as 'life?"

SERMONETTE

! attracted you, have you followed
them, perhaps at first cautiously,
then as time goes on becoming in
toxicated with the forbidden fruit of
| life? .+-..
Has this been followed by the cup,
the Joy rides and all that goes with
all wrong doing?
Soon you are not alone in this but
are dragging others down to your
own level.
Where is home then, and the ach-
I ing heart of wife and mother who so
patiently waits at home for the one
who ought to be her friend and COM
panion in life? Soon, too, the chill
dren miss father and by and by learn
instinetively that all is not right.
When you have started down hill
the; trip is so fast that you go to the
depths of degradation before you
hardly realize you have started.
Then where is your proud manhood,
your business, your home? What will
you expect of your boys when they
grow up? Will they respect you and
be the manly strong men you desire
them to be?
Are you then not responsible to
many for your deeds, responsible to
the city in which you live for, its
condition of immortality?
Sometimes you go so far as to sin
against the weaker and more help
less races. Perhaps you have left a
wife and children for the personal
pleasure of living not only immoral
ly but in defiance of all the laws of
God and man, giving time and money
that should be given to wife and
children.
Living with no thought of any one
but self-what then is your respon-
sibility to the community?
Think you not that others are
they see you do, so they think them
selves justified in doing? But | tell
you the day will come, be it many
years hence, when just retribution
will overtake you, and a bitter day
it will be indeed
Then you will wonder why you
have to suffer so. Then just remem-
Der this, that you have left your wife
and children TO suffer. others have
been tempted by your example, and
for all of this you must pay. not in
gold, but in mental, and perhaps
physical suffering. Money will never
atone for your responsibility to the
children you have brought into the
world, nor the neglect Of the loving,
trusting helpful wife. God will hold
you responsible for your life and you
will have to pay dearly for all so
called pleasures. Is such illgotten
pleasure worth while?
Woe to you indeed if you cannot
break away from self and self pleas
ures absolutely. Even though you
NAV turn over a new leaf and still i'll
dulge ever so little in wrong doing.
placating your conscience with the
thought, 1T will be wrong to break
it off all Of a sudden indeed
is your life then, for eyes are still
watching and tongues are still talk
ing.
Your responsibility is greater than
ever. You say, Il am not the only
man who does these things"
No, YOU are not However that
does not shield you from your per-
sonal example and individual respon-

A great deafsis being said of late
regarding church attendance. Spe-
cial effort is 4 being made by the
churches of the city to get the men
and women who are not now attend
ing church to come out to at least
one church service on Sunday, Ar;
guments are being advanced to show.

to the community in which he lives

est the Institution that has contrib
uted SO much to his own character
and without which the moral stand
ards OF the community could not be.
maintained. r.. IA s4 81
But how about the people who do
attend church? What is their duty
in this matter? II the church does
what IL claims to do for its members
ought there not to be some evidences
of it in the enthusiasm which these
same members show in their effort to
bring others to share the helpful
privileges of the church with them?
Is ii not one Of the weaknesses of
the church today? The members
themselves show so little enthusiasm
in the enterprise. &..' T.
The campaign which. the Inter.
Church Federation is carrying on at
present to get more people into
church attendance will fail in achiev-
ing any very great success unless the
members Of the churches begin to do
a great deal of personal work, invit-
ing men, urging men, to come to
church. 1t Is the personal element
that is needed to build up an enter.
prise. Nothing else can take the
place OF this.
Speaking on the problem OF
church attendance, DR.. Lew G.
Broughton, until recently pastor of.
one Of the largest churches in Amer
lea, at Atlanta, Ga, now at the head
of a great congregation at Christ
Church, London, in recent address
gave this as the reason for the falling
off in church attendance. His words
are worth quoting: ,..
The church is failing. to get people
because she has been lacking in the
element of personal constraint, My
brethren, humanity is so constructed
as to demand personality. Ii you
would have the very best illustration
of this that the Old Testament con-
tains, think you will go back and
read the account of Elisha raising the
dead child of the Shunammite. You
remember when the news came to him
about this dead child he sent GehaZi
with his staff that he might touch J
the child with it. Why he should do !
that do not know except, perhaps,
TO teach US this lesson. The news
came back that nothing had happened.
Then Elisha went himself, and when |
he had come into the presence Of the !
child he stretched himself upon him,
