CHURCHES URGED
TO ADVERTISE MORE
Newspaper Space as Important
as Preachers Salary, Metho-
dists Are Told.
ANALOGY is DRAWN
Sermon and Newspaper Arti-
cles Compared as to We'll
fare Value.

Every church should spend money for
advertising and purchasing space in the
newspapers. paying for such space as
consclentiously and continuously as it
does the preachers salary" declared the
Rev. J. T. Brabner Smith of the pub
licity department of the Committee on
Conservation and Advance of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church at the closing
session of the Chicago Area Council.
Criticism OF the newspapers. unless
II is just, Is harmful, and there should
be cordial relationship and cooperation
between the pulpit and the press Both.
II conscientious, are striving for the
uplift and betterment of humanity. They
may do II In different ways, but their
motive and objective are the elevation of
human society. Every preacher should
know something about journalism. espe-
cially the conduct of the great daily
newspapers. Preachers should at least
be taught the elements of journalism.
Both the good sermon and the good
newspaper article have in them the ele-
ments Of human interest and welfare
and are centred round some personality.
The great difference between a news
paper article and a sermon is, the
preacher spends thirty minutes in COM
ing to a peroration or climax, but a
newspaper article hits the bullseye in
the first sentence; the heart of the story
Is at the beginning and not at the end
like the sermon.
'Too many preachers are fond of and
seek personal publicity. The clergy
should have. cordial relations with the
editors, and there should be personal
contact Every clergyman should know
the editors of the city or country papers
in the town in which he lives. While
many good ministers deplore the amount
Of space devoted to crime in the news
papers, we must not forget that the
editors have a good example to follow
when we remember that crime is de-
picted markedly and numerically in the
Bible. What we should deplore is when
excessive amount of space is devoted to
the details of crime, TO the exclusion of
church. moral and other uplifting ma
terial in the paper.
I'VE have invariably found editors
