"A Metropolitan Dailies Aduocate AdUertisi7g By
 Churches at MiZWauRee

far as We are able to find out, the committee representing the unity evangelistic campaig gns have each year been satisfied with results"
 The San Francisco Examiner Churches ought to be able to derive benefit from advertising in the news- papers, just as any business or or ganization which depends upon pub lie support derives benefit. People go to stores to supply their material needs. and they are drawn to those stores whose advertisements they have read. People go to churches to supply their spiritual needs, and all of those who are unattached to q particular church are likely to be drawn to that church which adver- tises something that they think will fill their spiritual needs"
 Excites Interest
 The Evening star-The sunday Star, Washington, D. C., Managing Editor Tn my opinion, church advertising in the daily newspaper has wide circulation and is read by a large ma Jority of people interested in churches. It excites the interest of the individual, and 1t brings to the minister sympathetic audience"
 The Evening Bulletin, Business Managers "The fact that religious b In volume Is the best indication that 1t Is productive: that 1t Is attracting attention and bringing increased at tendance"
 The New York Times, Business Managers Officei "The benefits de- rived by churches from advertising are practically the same as those accruing to all other enterprise, ma teriai and spiritual. With the growth of great population centers in this country, 1t is becoming moro and more difficult to interest communi- ties by the conventional methods and announcements of former days. l The attention of the public must be drawn to the sources of spiritual light, if that light is to find wide re 1 fiection In the community. The gos- pei must now be carried to men and | it must be carried to them through those channels which reach all alike"
 Tae Leader. Cleveland. Managing
 Editori "The experience of Cleveland churches has proven that newspaper advertising increases attendance" Public Ledger Company, Advertfs- ing Manager; "The churches that ad- vertise show that they are alive and progressive and that they have some thing to tell the people. Their at tractive announcements are not only I of interest to their own congrega- tions, but to many others as we'll Continuous advertising influences the religious thought in the public mind l and thus individual churches and de- nominations benefit"

Rx Associntnd Prcrs

Milwaukee, June 24.-Vfews of ed- itors and publishers on the value of church advertising were read before the convention of the Associated Ad- vertising Clubs of the World here last week by the Rev. J. T. Brabner Smith of Chicago of the division of publicity, committee on conservation and advance of the council of board and benevolences of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 The expressions were received in reply to a letter sent to publishers and editors asking for statement of the advantage and values of church advertising, 1t was stated. Following are abstracts from some of the statements read by the Rev. MT. Smith:
 The Times-Picayune, New Orleans. Managers For many years the news papers of New Orleans have given from two to four columns each week to free church notices. Within the last two years some of the churches have bought advertising space. The churches using display space have found it good investment, l am told by the pastors"
 The Indianapolis stnr, Managing Editor; First and most obvious Is the effect In stimulating attendance. This result Is too well attested by experience to be regarded as any longer a matter of experiment."
 Cincinnati Times-stnr, Managing Editors The church, today as al- ways, requires direct advertising of It's work. My experience has been that the militant church. with its modern methods of getting men and women within it's portals, Is the one which is doing the greatest amount of good in the community. Tho great factor in the campaigns of such insti- tutions is advertising, newspaper ad- vertising, that will reach into the homes"
 The World-Heraid, Omaha, Neb., Advertising Manager, Tt is our opin- ion that the ministers of the various churches are convinced of the value of newspaper advertising, in view of their efforts to obtain free publicity q The Milwaukee Sentinel, AdyertIs- ing Managers I've believe that churches will benefit by advertising In the daily newspapers. First of all, 1t gives them T chance to say ex- actly what they want to the public and at the right time. Then again It is harmony with the spirit of the times Experience has proven in Mil waukee that 1t has greatly increased the attendance at church services" Chicago Herald and Examiner Churches using newspaper space are immediately looked upon by all who see the ad as being progressive If the merchant can make you buy his wares through consistent, clean advertising. you certainly can inter- est people in church by the same means"
 The Milwaukee Journal, Editorial Rooms: Advertising in the daily and weekly papers serves as a connect ing link or point of contact between the house of worship and the man without Good church advertising copy in the proper mediums should in every way fulfill the commands of the Scriptures and compel them to come in.'"
 The Seattle Times, office of the Advertising Managers "The four or five larger downtown churches here have. during the revival meeting season early in the year. for the past two years used considerable display advertising space in the Times. Sc
