Auto Reference in Sermon
 Arouses the Congregation

How ministre unconsciously stressed the capabiiity of certain make of automobile to such an ex- tent. in one of his sermons at Mystic, Connecticut, near Hartford, that ii aroused more interest than any pre- vious sermon in a long time. is re- lated in a report received at the fac tory from the Hartford Hupmobile dealer.
 The report goes on to explain that the minister, who drives small light car, is a regular customer at the dealers garage.
 Between New London and Mystic Is a hill known as Fort Hill, and the dealer states that every time the minister's car would climb that hill in high gear 1t was good car." but often it failed and then Tit was poor mechanical work in the garage" which was responsible.
 One day the dealer, more or less eSasperated over the minister's ref erence to poor garage work. said to the clergyman: How would you like to ride in a car that will climb Fort Eiil; one that will start at the bot tom in high and go over the top at 70 miles an hour?"
 The invitation having been accept ed, a Hupmohile demonstration en- sued.
 On the following Sunday the minister preached from the text: we disbelieve; we are made to believe, and we believe"
 And in the course of the sermon he found occasion to refer to the auto mobile Incident in this wise: There ta an automobile dealer in our city who told me certain facts about a certain car; among his statements was one to the effect that 1t would climb Fort Hill from a standing start and go over the top at 40 miles an hour in high gear. I, as a result of past experience, could not refrain from disbelieving that statement. But I was taken up the hill in the car and made to believe. now be- lieve in the man and in the car" Then he continued to point out that a demonstration of fact is convine- ing in all things; told how nonbe- livers are converted, made to believe,

 lated to the dealer the happenings af- ter the delivery of the sermon.
 "0n Monday morning. a man came to me and wanted to know the name of that car" he said. "Wednesday night at prayer meeting five or six people asked the same question. Fri day four more friends came to mo seeking the same information. In short, 1 have been preaching in this vicinity for several years and this was the first time that such interest has been created in any of my ser mons here. It all goes to show the ti emendous interest of the public in anything pertaining to automobile performance"

APRIL BANNER
 OAKLAND MONTH

While April has been the banner month so far this season for Oak land. states c. ]. Nephler. general sales manager. it has already been outdone by the sales of May with less than half the month over.
 "Our sales during the month of April this year were larger than the month of September, 1920, which was the second largest month in the his- tory of the oakland Motor Car com pany,n explains Mir Nephler
 During the first Is days of May, our sales have been 66 per cent greater than April. with every indi- cation from orders coming in. of making May the banner month of the year So far.
 One remarkable thing about or ders is that they are coming in more evenly from alt sections of the country, indicating to us that the full swing of prosperity is not con- fined to any one section, and this, of course. is the healthlest kind of return to normalcy. a general na- tion-wide resumptios of business.''
 Mir. George H. Hannum, president of the company, accompanied by MT. Nephlef, has just returned from a months trip to the Pacific coast, during which time they visited Oak land branches and distributors in the central west and Pacific coast territory. They report business conditions improving rapidly.
 In connection with their trip they visited the new Oakland branch just established in San Francisco. This new branch looks after the distribu- tion of Oaklands in the northern half of California

was acquired by publicity-the

When this bank began adver-
tising il had 514 accounts. Since
that time-twelve years ago
the bank has opened SLAP ac-
counts. These new accounts were
not secured by solicitors, by
prizes, or any other methods Of
this character, but Just through
educational publicity. II is a

Now if we consider the educa-

its ability to inculcate Thrift
