LATE DR. PRATT'S GRANDSON
 WILL ADDRESS CONVENTION
LeweIIyn E. Pratt of New York City to Speak at Church Advertising Catherine.

Clergymen of the leading New Ha- ven churches and members of the New Haven Publicity club of the, Chamber of Commerce are arranging for three days convention to be held, beginning Sunday, Oct. 8, and closing Tuesday, the 10th. Ministers, laymen, heads of Mems clubs, superintendents of Sun day schools, from all over New Eng land and eastern New York, have been invited to attend.
 The church advertising movement was started in Chicago last year, was further promulgated in Philadelphia in June, and New Haven will be the sec ond city in the country to undertake such a gathering on a large scale.
 Leading lights in the advertising field, we'll known advertising persons, expert advertising men, etc, will be on hand to assist the pastors in plan ming advertising campaigns that will fill their churches both morning and evening. The purpose of the conven- ton will be to show how the church, would to sell, is the least acquainted with advertising and it's benefits. Stories of churches that have in creased their attendance 1000 per cent. in a few years time will be told by clergymen who have done it.
 signs, direct mail advertising, etc., have done even more to increase church attendance than they could possibly do to increase business. The Current Opinion" for September de- votes two pages to this important sub ject, showing the trend of public opin- ion regarding church advertising.
 The program will be announced la ter. Lay sermons in churches by ad- vertising men. Sunday school pa rade, banquet, automobile rides and trips about the city, etc, will be mag nets that will interested people to this convention.
 One of the most attractive speakers on the program, who will be heard at 2.40 Monday afternoon on The Dignity of Church Advertising, is Llewellyn E.. Pratt of New York city, chairman of the national educa tional committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs Of the World.
 It is natural that he should be an able speaker, for he was born in Con- necticut and his is one of the sterling old families of the state. He IS a na- tive of Essex and his uncle, the Rev. Llewellyn Pratt, was one of the best known clergymen of Connecticut for over 25 years, pastor of the Broadway Congregational church of Norwich. He is a man who takes a high view of the mission of the business man and holds that there is Q dignity in honest ad- vertising which may ennoble every thing it can promote-even the church Those who have heard him have no doubt that he will present one of the most convincing arguments of the convention for the legitimacy of the proposition that the better the cause the more effective should be it's pub licity.
