El Pas0 Church Has More
Than 500 Names On Roll
First Christian, at Annual Meeting Makes Showing
of Remarkable Growth; Was the First Church
to Build North Of the Track S and Has
House of Worship in Heart of City.

- ROWTH in membership. attend
ance and influence was shown b,,
- the First Christian church at the
annual meeting Of the church held re-
Gently, more than 500 names now being
on the membership roll.
The church was organized about 1885
or 1887. The records Of its early his
tory have not been very carefully kept
and only a few Of the charter members
are still residing in Ell Paso For a
number of years the congregation Vvor-
shped in a 'smau building on Myrtle
avenue. Under the leadership of Rev.
EaM Waits, who was pastor of the
church for about five years, from 1902
to 1907, the present edifice, on the cor
ner Of north Oregon and Franklin
streets, was erected. 1t was the first
church to build north of the tracks,
and its erection marks a distinct ad-
vance in the church's history. Among
those who were prominent in the early
history of the church were Willard
Patterson, Mrs. r. Z. Campbell and
Mrs Peter Murray, all of whom are
still active in the church Mrs. E. c.
Pew and Mrs. Edward Lennon, who
have passed to their reward, are ten
DERBY remembered for their works
sake. Among those who have figured
prominently in the church life during
the last decade are Mr.. and Mrs. / A.
and Mrs. A q Fruit and many others
During the past four or five years
me church has made cOmmendable
progress in every way. Four years age
the mortgage Indebtedness was paid
off About the same time the base
ment was rearranged so as to provide
modern Sunday school facilities. Three
pianos and a pipe organ have been
ADDED 70 the equipment Of the church.
The membership of the church is
steadily growing and Of the something
over 500 names on the roll, about 400
Of them are resident.
Two years ago the property, now
known as the Austin Park church, was
purchased, and q year ago AZ members
OF the Fist church withdrew to form
another church there which is sus-
tanned in part by the First church.
Besides this missionary contribution
the church sustains Mrs. P. A. Sherman
IN Bilaspur, India, and makes regular
contIlbuJlons to all of the other mis-
slonary, benevolent and educational
enterprises Of the disciples. 1t also
contributes to local charities.

Advertising Makes GO To Church a
Popular Movement Throughout Land
Romance Publicity in Church circles Is Like RevOluonn
Old Ideas Customs
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

New York business men put up the
ten thousand dollars spent in this ao-
vertising.
And never was $4,000 better spent
me results have been really reVoIu-
tlonary. A hundred salaried secretar-
les, and a regiment of typeWrlters,
could scarcely accomplish what was
wrought by this example IN New L ork-
Philadelphia was the first city TO APP
ply the principle of display adVertis-
ing to a local situation. Today the
united churches of more than twenty
cities have adopted this new form OF
inviting the world to church- A con
tlnuous stream of inquiries pour IN
upon the Philadelphia committee, not
only from many parts or the UnlLeO
States and Canada, but also from for
eign lands. Evidently display news
paper advertising which at first sight
seems very expensive, although IN
reality costing far less than parish
visitors, seems to have become a per-
manent method Of reaching the no
church going public on the part OF
the church.
Not much that is new gets past the
advertising men. This movement IN
religious advertising was firmly
lodged in the consciousness of the Bill
Posters association. When II met
few months ago, it gave dramatic ex-
preston to the religious sentiment
which newly pervadeS advertising
adopted, was to post great picture
of the Nativity on the billbOards Of
every city in the United States and
Canada This was the bill posters
Christmas present to the public.
The conception was imperial No
trumpets blazOned this good deed The
leaders in the churches knew nothing
about the project until they woke one
morning, two weeks before Christmas
and saw a beautiful picture Of the
Manager Scene, 20 feet by nine in d.
mension, with no label on it except
ASK your Sunday school teacher to

oTHING better illustrates


n modernity of today than the
L y rapid spread OF new ideas IN
church work. The present epidemic Of
Geo tn Church" Sundays over the land
raises this interesting point When
aver a good idea works anywhere,
modern publicity gives it straightway
70 evarVwhere The old fashioned
preachments about the influence Of
example are thus Illustrated in new
sense For today an example is as
Catching" as measles
When Philadelphia started a year
ago on the famous campaign OF dis
NAV advertising of the churches no
bodv dreamed that the first appeal,
s2TT6v NOT go to church, would set
the ministers Of Albany to carrying
ont its arguments in concerted
movement for an Everybody at
church Sunday, as an adjunct to the
advertising campaign. Now literally
hundreds of American communities
have already had, or are planning to
have GO to church" Sundays.
The Romance of Publicity.
The story is like a wonder tale. It
goes back two years to the Men and
Religion congress, when Fred B. Smith
the leader of that movement, which
swept the country, appointed a COM
mission On Christian Publicity, made
up of practical newspaper men. This
commission conducted an exhaustive
inquiry into the whole subject gather
ing the views of hundreds Of editors
preachers and laymen. These were
summarized in a book THE Church
and the Press"
Quite incidental to the commissions
work, a campaign Of display advertis-
ing was carried on for six weeks in
New York city. The sporting pages of
all the daily newspapers were used
for display advertisement Of the
churches There was no way Of trac-
ing direct returns, and only direct re-
suits were sought A little group Of

for the American shore. when at the
order of Delaney the soldiers fired on
them. Walter Smith was shot thru

sided in Buffalo. When the hunters
dropped to the boat the soldiers put
