WORSHIP

rEviE CHINESE pray to their ancestors. But they do
more than that. They allow themselves to be guld-
= ed BY family tradition in their every thought and
action. The principal difficulty facing the introduction
Of modern improvements into China i the universal OBJ
lection: This is not as our fathers did"
Imagine saying that we did not want electricity because
our fathers were satisfied with candles.
Though we never went as far as the Chinese, our con-
gervatiSm in the past often went to considerable lengths.
Think of the telephone, cf the motor car. How much
encouragement did they get at first?
Advertising more than anything else has made of lis a
nation willing to judge something new on its merits,
rather than on narrow, ancient traditions.
Advertising today is as necessary as electricity, sani-
tation and rapid transit. 1t is more than the system
by which we are kept informed Of every new improve
ment that is to our advantage. 1t is the catalog wherein
every day, all manner If articles are listed Tor Us with
their individual advantages.
Read the advertisements. Be guided by them. They will
help you il making your selections. They viii save you
