Rev. ]. C. Cox, pastor of the Area

" conference held on last Sunday
afternoon, expressed his views on the
.ubiect of the value Of newspaper adj
yertising for the church, He stated
that he knew nothing that would
bring greater returnes for the money
as far as church attendance was con-
cerned than paid advertising in the
local paper, and advocated that his
church take advantage of the benefits
TO he thus derived. Following his sug
eestion motion to this effect was
carried, authorizing the Democrat to
advertise each service in the issue
prior to the date on which the service
is TO be held.
We have believed for a long time
that church advertising would prove
lust as beneficial as advertising for
the store, factory or any other line or
business. and we believe that this will
be proven in this case, just as has
already been proven in other places.
