Billboards, electric signs, circulars,
newspaper advertising space and 9th
er mediums of advertising can be-
come the greatest ally of the church
in selling religion to people. The
most valuable of all advertising for
the church is publicity,
The church that does not court
publicity is headed for liinbus. The
official board that will not advertise
It's church AMI its preacher, needs to
be buried.
The preacher who complains about
the Size of his congregation should get
out an indictment against himself.
The congregation that kicks at the
preacher putting novel or new fea-
lures in his services, and doing things
that will gain the attention of the
people and secure their interest,
ought to be sent to purgatory for a
period of six months to purge them
of their stupidity.

Remember, the church is an institu
ton dealing in a commodity. This
commodity must be sold to the people.
The statesmen are the preachers and
the thing to be sold is religion.
To. sell religion, the people must
know that there is such thing in the
world, and that being in the world,
it is worthy of their interest and con-
sideration.
Advertising is the key that will un-
,otL the doors of the church. It is the
trumpet that will call the people to
worship 1t is the great essential that
is lacking in modern church work.
Let the church throughout the
