Avoids Link with Business.
A leading developer Of shore
real estate, Mr.. Alderman scru-

New York newspaper did he
permit his address to appear
with his name.
A tweedy man with iron gray
hair, gray moustache and
steady eyes of brown, Mr.. Ack-

his favorite subject.
It was during the Lenten
period of 1919 when he long had
been living in darkness, that the
light first broke through, he re-
lated.
With sudden determination, he
vowed to give up the kind of
life he was leading and turn to
better ways.

By Hermun Sehoden

This is a Lenton story about
a businessman who advertises
God.
It isn't the easiest story to
write because Leon Alderman
didn't want it written. He turned
down several magazines and
newspapers before granting this
interview, and then only because
an associate sympathetic with
his views convinced him it might
further his high purpose.
Mr.. Alderman is the man who
has piqued the curiosity of mil
lions with full-page newspaper
advertisements which stand out
from department. store and gro
Gerry ads with startling force like
this:
"THINK! If You Hate Your
Brother Whom You Have Seen
How Can You Love God Whom
You Have Not Seen? WHAT IS
YOUR ANSWER"
Did Not Use His Name.
The first ads. appearing in all
Washington newspapers in the
summer of 1852. characterized
Mr.. Ackerman's desire for ano-
nymity, for instead OF an adver-
Users name, they simply ex-
planned: sponsored anonymous
ly in the interest of brotherhood
among mankind"
It was not until newspapers,
their switchboards humming
with Inquiries, insisted on a per-
sonal Identification that Mr..
Alderman later consented to a
small-type insertion of his name.
That showed Mr.. Alderman he
was getting results. So this year
he began expanding his gospel
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-14

Using, Mr.. Alderman decided
that lone can merchandise good
as well as goods"
The results have been crafty
ing. Since his name was dis
closed. hundreds of letters have
reached his Office from clergy
men of all faiths lauding the
ads. but more heart-warming,
from persons who have been
awakened or consoled.
Some schools and organiza-
tons have displayed the adver-
Using on bulletin boards. Some
people have put them on the
walls of their homes. Letters
have been like this, from a
woman pianist in New York:
-. Your message came along
and reminded me forcefully of
what I have been trying to prove
-. I even put your page on the
wall of my bedroom"
Replies to All Letters.
Mr.. Alderman replies to every
letter by telegram to avoid the
use Of a letterhead. The wire
usually reads like this: y
"Your response to the message
OF love- touched me deeply, all
the more since there was no in
tent to personalize my identity.
Rather do I hope that this spirit
ual message will be passed on
until the faith of all mankind
is deepened and fortified"
What it is all costing, Mr..
Alderman says he doesn't know,
or want to know. He only hopes
people do not consider the cost,
but will absorb the message.
What I can't take with me I
am not going to worship" said
Mr.. Alderman.

love. Recently. his. newspaper
ads, chronicIed:
LOVE THE GREATEST
GIFT-He who Understands
LOVE Understands GOD for
GOD is LOVE-"
Earnestly, Mr.. Alderman talked
about brotherly love and how it
would dissolve poverty, bad
temper, war and selfishness, how
it would dissolve anything un-
like God.
II used to magnify every
thing" he remembered, as he
picked up a reading glass to
illustrate his thoughts. N'My
problems remained with me "a
hours a day-material problems,
and never did I get satisfactory
results"
Now he devotes fewer and
fewer hours to his work, and
spends proportionately greater
time seeking to improve himself
and others spiritually.
A friend disclosed that Mr..
Alderman often sat up through
the night. studying religious con-
ceptS. He has spent the past
several months on a study of
everlasting life.
Sermons without Mounts"
There are too many sermons
without any mounts" Mr..
Alderman said as one explana-
ton of his advertising program.
Every time any one is helped
by one of these ads, I am
helped.

with you I say, May you be
with God You may be on the
wrong side of the street."

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
EFFERvEsCENCE

Beautiful women have much
the quality of freshly opened
pops = they efTervesce; that is
they are alive. They have bub-
BILE - They are not fiat. The
woman who sits in corner,
whom we call the old fashioned
wall flower is proverbially flat.
She has no sizzle-no go. She
is much like the pop that was
opened long ago and loss her
zip. Strangely enough, the wo-
man who has efferVescence
seems pretty even if she is not,
but the woman who is dull and
flat does not answer to the
name of beauty even though
she may have a classic Greci-
an nose. To be beautiful a wo-
man must have sparkle and
zip.
WISE SAYINGS
Habits are arsc cobwebs,
then cables.
Hoist your sails when the
wind is fair.
Two great takers will not
travel far together.
The guardian., 1953-07-04

a hero by his contemporaries:
by those who travel by his side,
those who jostle him, by those
who break bread with him, by
those who love or hate him. Or
dinary people recognize, admire
and cheer ordinary people, for,
being like them, they are able
to judge them. They cannot
Judge minds above them for
they are not wise enough. An
old and true saying touching
this point is this: "No man." it
is said, lis a hero to his valet"
but this is merely because it
takes a hero TO recognize a hero.
The valet will probably be quite
able to appreciate his equals.
