ring figured among the dishes at
the coronation banquet Of Henry
". By the sixteenth century
they had become common enough.
In 1909 the lords of the star cham
ber had oranges served daily at
dinner at a cost of two pence a
day. The first mention of their
use as missiles occurs in the diary
of Henry Machyn, who tells us
that on May Day of 1859 the revel-
ers at the queens palace at West
minister threw eggs and oranges
at each other.
Oranges were for some years a
prohibited fruit in Holland. When
the Batavian republic was estab-
lished the badge and color of the
Stockholders family became so
hateful to the popular party that,
not satisfied with expelling their
prince, they passed a law forbid
ding the sale of oranges and car
rots, and ordering all persons who
grew lilies or marigolds in their
gardens to pluck up the plants and
destroy them. This prohibition
remained in force until 1906, when
Napoleon made his brother Louis
king of Holland, who revoked the
prohibitory measure. Exchange.

will hardly attract the attention it
deserves. This is not right, as he
pays as much, if not more, for the
space he occupies pro rata as does
the larger advertiser, and there
fore his ad should be given as
much prominence and should be
brought out with as much force as
is possible. Taken collectively, a
page Of these small ads brings in
more money to the publisher than
does a single page ad from one
concern, as there is usually given
reduced rate on large ad where
there is none at all given on small
ads.
There is in the neighborhood of
twenty five million daily publica-
tions issued in the United States,
not counting the numerous foreign
publications, which would amount
to about one issue to every four
inhabitants.
The life of a newspaper man is
no chair-warming snap, any way
you look at it. And there are
very few businesses whose average
net profit is lower. The high cost
of living seems to have as much
effect, if not more, upon newspa-
pers than on any other business,
as the increase in the value of pa
per, metal and other materials have
gone skyward, and many of the

publishers are afraid to raise their
advertising rates, through fear of
losing advertisers. 1t has been
frequently pointed out that one of
the principal causes of many fail
ures. is the lack of knowledge of
the business end of newspaper,
and the present tendency toward
specialization in different lines, to
a, large extent, prevents one from
acquiring that knowledge. But it
is coming into its own. Publishers
are slowly but surely awakening to
the fact that their newspapers are
really business enterprises. They
have started on the upward path,
sad each year real, solid, concrete
business methods are being injected
into the journalistic field.

Ine1r readers are more likely TO
buy than the readers of other
journals with larger circulations.
Papers that make this statement
generally sell for two or three,
and even five cents; the advertisers
keeping in mind that the readers
who pay these prices for newspa-
pers can probably LAY prices about
the average for other things which
they also desire. The smaller
businesses and advertisers have
been sorely neglected in the recent
years, and the publishers are just
awakening to the fact.
They have wondered, time and
again, why more of the smaller
business men did not advertise
more. A business man can gener-
ally tell if he is getting any return
for the advertising he is doing.
AS the income of one large busi-
ness house might easily cover that
of dozen smaller ones, the size
and amount of their advertising
being in like proportion, the pub
fishers naturally give them the
best position in the paper, thus
placing the small advertiser in
some obscure part where his ad

On occasional week nights an en-
tire evenings program, presenting
Biblical, scenic, dramatic, or edu-
cational films, is offered for ten
cents admission.
The operating expenses of our
present machine has involved moth
ing but the electric current, and
this is less than the current used
to illuminate the lights that are
turned off. We have an aluminium
drop-curtain, which is unrolled
when needed, and after the service
is put out of sight. Aluminium is
best for tinted pictures or slides.
In both churches we secured
the outfits by asking a few men
who believed in the idea to bear
the initial expense. Under favor
able conditions it is possible to rent
a week-night program for six or
eight to fifteen or twenty dollars,
plus express charges. By charg-
ing ten cents admission enough
money can be made to pay for the
original cost of installation.
Some churches use motion
pictures for half-hour preceding
the morning Sunday-school service,
and thus insure the presence of
every pupil on time. Or they
give free admission tickets to the
week-night program to every
member of the Sunday school who
is present on time the previous
Sunday. A church in New Jersey
gives a program each week that is
supported by collection. Admis-
sion is by tickets that are given
free to those present at Sunday
services.
"One of our churches in De-
trOit presents a clean recreational
program of pictures on Sunday af-
ternoons, with free admission. A
social hour and refreshments fol-
low. Splendid programs exclusively
for children can be offered on Sat-
urdays for penny admission.
The Bureau of Commercial
Economies. 1t Washington, d. c.,
offers a service of two educational
reels gratis each week. We plan
to use these soon, simply as a
half-hour prelude to regular
evening service. That program
will be designed simply to attract
a congregation that will remain for
the customary preaching service.
"A very satisfactory plan of or
ganization is the election of mo-

tains the same relation to the

Gently offered prize for the most
informative article describing their
use. The winner is the Rev. Ches-
ter S. Bucher, who has used mo-
ton pictures at a church in Cleve-
land. The people, he says, had
previously passed by our church,
leaving its pews empty and filled
the seats of the nickel university
at the next corner" This was the
answer:
''For thirty-five dollars we
bought a secondhand Edison ma
chine; for thirty dollars we Sc
cured a very good second hand
galvanized-iron booth; for about
forty dollars we purchased electri-
cal materials, and an electrician in
the church installed the equipment
himself and operated the machine.
Our regular order of service was
used on Sunday evenings, with the
single exception of substituting a
scripture lesson on the screen for
the lesson which had been former
ly read from the pulpit Bible. The
Bible film was the basis of the ser
mon. The life of Christ was used
in series, one reel each Sunday
night. When the people actually
saw Jesus sink to his knees under
the weight of the cross, there we're
involuntary exclamations of horror
as the Roman soldiers goaded him
Cd with the points of their spears.
Then came my chance to make
plain how our sin crucified Christ
to. day. During Holy Week, in
stead of conducting services each
night for faithful few, we used
Pilgrims Progress as the basis of
a series of illustrated sermons that
actually brought in the people of
the neighborhood for our services.
Although these services we're not
treated as evangelistic, people
united with the church and were
brought into the Kingdom as a
direct result"
In DR.. Bucher's present church
in Lima, Ohio, the motion picture
outfit is more elaborate, and the
results are eminently satisfactory.
The church, it seems, lis located
one block from the public square.
Each week." says DIR. Bucher,
I'VE use display advertisements on
the amusement page in all the pa
pers, and on Sunday nights the
people who drift up and down the
streets-whom churches have not
been reaching--come to the popu-
lar illustrated service for a genuine
illustrated message" The writer
continues, with some details which
ought to prove useful to any
church contemplating the employ
ment of motion pictures in it's reg
ular work.
1--WE have heard some criticism
from other churches where the
pews are empty, but the un-
churched people who attend onr
service are grateful, and attentive,
and responsive. The ose-change
offering pays for the expenses of
publicity and films.
Il am confident that we have
the best projecting machine of any
that have been designed for schools
and churches. 1t cost two hum
dred dollars. l prefer it to any
other machine at any price, for it
does not require an unsightly fire
proof booth, it can be used in any
room in the building. 1t requires
no special electrical wiring and it
can be operated by any one. A
sixteen year old boy runs the ma
chine now.
