the people, she gives clear proof of
the sincerity of her interest in them
Wherever the churches regularly ad
Vertise. it is easiest to secure sym
pathetic publicity on large scale for
all classes of church news.
The Religious Press.
Every Christian family should sub.
scribe for a religious paper. The i'm.
portance of this is stressed. Such a
publication is really necessary for
the dissemination of the news of the
church the world around, and for in.
spiration to Christian living. The
promotion of the circulation of Chris
tian literature is a farreaching and
proper service for publicity workers.
Real news and helpful methods
should be sent regularly to the
church paper. Hospitals, jails, asy.
lums, etc, should be kept supplied
with tie church papers.
Writing to the Editor
: Investigation has SHOWN that edi.
tors of daily newspapers are troubled
by lack Of cooperation on the part
of church people. AS a rule they do
not hear from them-eXcept when
they ask for something! Every
newspaper reader can be of service
to the public and to the church by
telling his editor what he thinks of
the way his paper handles religious
subjects Is it doing we'll? Say so.
Is it not doing we'll? Say so, with par
ticulars. If church news is too petty
and local, too one-sided, too neglect
full of big kingdom movements, say
so. If you would like special reli-
gious features, like Sunday school
lesson. e missionary or social service
department, Bible study column, a
young peoples feature, a weekly SER
mon-say so. The editor must run
his own paper, but he will prize the
counsel of every fair-minded reader.
Many editors fail to print religious
matter simply because they have new
er heard any demand for it. If the
church folk sincerely want religious
news, let them express that desire in
courteous. friendly fashion. And
when you know any real news, upon
any subject whatsoever, write to the
editor about that too. He will learn
that church people are friends worth
having.

DEBT Which THE CAPITALIST
OWES To THE SALVATION Army

What the Salvation Army does for
the drunkard and the man out Of a
job is SO evident that the capitalist
debt to these militant Christians is not
so generally recognized. Commander
EyangeIfne BSoth, Of the Army, how.
ever, believes II is time for capital
lists, particularly employers OF labor,
to recognize what the SaIvat.onists
are doing for them. Because the
Army "is making tens OF thousands
the world over of honest, sober, con-
sistent, to-be-depended-upo working
men, because Of this great contribu-
tive feature to capitals interest, If for
nothing higher" she asserts in a re-
cent issue OF The War Cry, the CAPT
taIist should support the movement"
First of all, she continues, the Sal
walton Army deals with the man who
is a wastrel-the man who is wasting
and wasted .........
Thousands of such have already
been most effectually dealt with in
that their lives have been transformed
from the idle and irnpoyerishing con-
sumption OF former days to healthy

Stunning much that the army of labor

Army deals with these, and deals with
them in such way that they are no

Gates. But only local men can get ii
into local papers. Good publicity also
insures editorial comment upon re.
ligious news and tendencies. 1t helps
to give Christianity its place in the
eyes OF the world.
What to Do With News.
Every congregation should have a
publicity committee, preferably one
layman or young woman. The Young
Peoples Society or the adult Bible
class might volunteer this service.
The local church advertising should
also be handled by this committee.
These committees should cooperate
with, or consolidate as, community
publicity committee of laymen for the
city, town or county. Such a commit.
tee should have charge of financing
and preparing any general advertis,
ing project undertaken by the united
churches. Have a definite under.
standing with the local editors as to
what they desire. They will be found
ready for any fair cooperation.
Furnish typewriter copy Write
on but one side of the paper and
double space. Beware of personal
puffery or self-advertisement. Self
praise does not exalt the kingdom.
Give the editor advance information
OF news. Help him to get pictures
when possible. Keep news brief The
success of publicity is not measured
by the length of the articles printed,
but by. the impression upon the read,
ers. Better four small items than
one long one. The occasion person
can write religious news for the great
magazines. Having done all-keep
on doing it! The grace of continu-
ance is a fundamental virtue in pub
licity work.
About Religious Advertising.
The Gay of the church's mendican-
cy is at its sunset Christianity is
no longer asking favors of the press.
1t is good-naturedly requiring its
rights. What is the business of the
church to say to the public, it pays

Kalihi Union Church is the out

becoming dissatisfied with the limita-

ing in the future to retain all the &C
tiyities thus far established, applied to
the Oahu Association of Congregation
al Churches for the privilege of organ
izing an institutional church, The
Christian church being the mother of
the present wave of moral, social and
religious uplift now sweeping the
land, the people of the Settlement
were anxious to get nearer to the
source of power, Jesus Christ, through
his church.
As an institutional church, it is
planned to add many interesting and
helpful features to the religious life
of Kalihi. The church feels that real
izing the kingdom of God on earth is
the ideal and task Christ has set be-
fore them to assist in working out.
With the large new grounds, about
seven acres, purchased some time ago
for this work, the church plans to
have croquet and tennis courts, a
swimming pool, as we'll as swings and
other outdoor paraphernalia for the
children. Abortion of the land, some

SAYS CAMPAIGN
PROMISES MUCH
Church Attendance Movement
Enlists Services of Many
Honolulu PeopIe

This campaign promises more for

Such was the comment, Of DR.. DO.
lemus Scudder, president OF the Inter.
Church Federation, under whose aus.
picas the church Attendance campaign
Is being carried on. X. ......--. ....
The previous campaigns have been
like q single mountain. We get q
crowd here from the outside and
there Is a sudden increase in excite.
ment and there must necessarily fol.
low sudden decrease In each case
there has been some gain; In fact, In
the Men and Religion Campaign OF
last year there was considerable def.
ute gain But this years special re.
ligious effort Is different from any.
thing We have before hail in Honolulu
II Is planned to last over months. 1t
is not sudden whirlwind movement
that will end systematically. II is
a steady, quiet howard moyemnt
SO that every gain made will be a
permanent GAIN he continued.
This campaign is enfisting the ser.
vices of large number OF people not
ordinarily concerned with an evange-
listic movement. The organization OF
large number Of men and women in
the churches in q quiet, thoughtful,
unconventional movement to bring the
duty OF church abundance to the minds
of their friends Is something absent
from the usual revival Another ad.
vantage is that the appeal Is along
perfectly natural lines. 1t is In accord.
ance with the early training of the
people. II brings to bear upon them
considerations such as their respon.
sibiiity as citizens and as heads Of
families to stand for the best inter
ests Of the community as a whole
At Central Union church we are
noticing the effect OF The work that
has been done. Numbers of people
are renewing their interest in public
worship. while others are being at.
tracted for the first time to attend the
services"
