SECULAR PRESS
CALLED GREAT
ALLY OF CHURCH
Untrammelled, Fair and Sound
Methodist Minister Says AT
A. A, c. w. Convention

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 13. -
(By Associated Press.) - The secu-
lar press of America ''is untr2mmell-
ed, fair and sound, and is therefore
great ally of the Christian church
es," Rev. ]. T. Brabncr Smith, of
Chicago, of the division of publicity,
Committee on Conservation and Ad-
vance of the Boards of Benevolence
0f the Methodist Episcopal church,
cold the convention of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World here
today. lie declared that there should
be fund in every church for pub
licity purposes, and that the church
should buy space in the daily papers
and announce its services to the COM
munity with the same energy with
which the business man advertises his
stock
'In seven years of active co-opera-
ito nwith the secular press we have
found the press of America sound
to the core" said Rev. Mr.. Smith.
'"There is no controlled American
press either by any particular church
or by any particular business. 1t is
ridiculous to say that any certain
denomination controls the American
press.
"Many of the leading newspapers,
both editorially and in their news
columns, are at present preaching the
gospel as clearly as it is being
preached in any pulpit. There are
editorials which convince us that
many of the editors are prophets,
and some of them with a prophetic
vision which outclasses many of the
preachers in the modern pulpts.
This is true and faithful saying
Study Advertising.
"Churches cooperate with newspa-
pers in order to secure first hand
information and to study advertising.
The Methodist ministers of New York
are planning a six weeks course in
church advertising, taught by New
York advertising men. In this way
the ministers and laymen will obtain
the services of expert advertising
men and they will also give them
soem valuable information regarding
the successful art of advertising.
"Rev Oliver Kene has been pastor
of the Methodist church at Kearney,
Nebr., for four years and in that
time he has quadrupled the member
ship. How did he do it? BY adver-
tisipg,' he says.
"Among the preachers who are
buying space in the newspapers is
an eminent Methodist clergyman in
Detroit, Mich. He began his pas
torate with small congregation and
also with the outlay of 800 for
advertising. With the persistent ad
vertising and with delivering the
goods when people came to church
he has now a congregation which
voreflows the church, the increase in
loose collections pays for the adver-
tising, and there is money left for

other church purposes.

other church purposes.
''In the New Testament we read
of one man, Zacchaeus, who could
not see Christ because of the press,
meaning of course the press on the
crowd. This incident is constantly
quoted by many church men.
Have Their Reward.
Editors and newspapers, like
preachers and churches, are held ac-
countable for their, utterances by
their auditors. The Bible says they
have their reward This often
comes when the preacher ceases to
move his congregation to action by
his inconsistency or his lack Of zeal
for the highest good and he becomes
"a sounding brass or tinkling Gym
ball This applies just as forcibly
to the editor and the newspaper
There are many newspapers widely
read by persons who read them for
other purposes than to accept their
leadership.
The constant senseless criticism
and cooperation of the church with
the newspaper means tremendous
power Of uplift in any community.
"The question arises, what is news,
even church news?
Should the newspapers print news
of crime, vice conditions, and the
like, news which is of the under
world? Editors differ on this ques-
ton and so do church men. The Bi-
BILE itself publishes the sins, the
faults and foibles Of many of its
best men, but it also publishes the
beautiful side of life, making the
moral and the spiritual i'll life supe-
rior and more attractive than the
british.
No Propaganda.
at is very difficult for a layman
or clergyman to realize that the
or the great news services
cannot be used for propaganda de-
ideas or personal opin-
ion.
"One of the simplest rules for pre-
pairing a church article for the news
paper is seen in the difference be-
tween a newspaper article and ser
mon. The newspaper article con-
tains the meat Of the whole subject
in the first paragraph while 4 SER
mon gradually leads through long
process of arguments to peroration
at the end.
There is great need in religious
articles of brains and common sense.
Writers for the newspapers should
study the newspapers in general and
make special study Of the con-
tents of the papers to which ma
terial will be submitted. There is
a newspaper English or style express
sion. Write clearly and intelligently.
Be brief, be very brief, but not too
brief for clarity of express. Do not
use hackneyed phrases. Be careful
how you use words, especially adj
jectives and adverbs. The shorter
the words the better. Cut out all
fine writing. Be accurate.
at is difficult to understand the
attitude that the church should TAX
to the newspaper, unless the fune-
tions Of he newspaper are defined.
One of the editors Of the Chicago
Tribune, Col. r. r. Mccormick, in
the School Of Journalism
of Northwestern University said,
Editors and editorial writer's are
servants of an institution which
scorns all service less than the pub
lie welfare and which leads or drives
