Ay Religious News Service

One Of the most striking de-
yelopmentS in religious evangel-

Of commercial advertising by
church groups to get their mes
sage across to millions of Ameri-

advertising started with the
Knights of Columbus in 1913,
Ads placed by the Roman Cath
olic laymen's organization began
drawing a large response almost
Immediately. Success of the pro-
gram soon started Protestant
groups thinking along similar
lines.
In 1853, the Episcopal Men
of Iowa launched an advertising
campaign. Since then, three
other Episcopal dioceses have
seen the establishment of ad-
vertiSing programs and denomi-
national leaders expect further
growth of the movement,
Seventh-day Adventists have
just concluded an experimental
$4,000 national advertising
campaign and are awaiting eval-
uation of the project.
Extensive Series Planned
The National Association of
Evangelicals began advertising
earlier this year. The Southern
Baptist Convention will discuss
plans for an extensive series of
ads in daily and weekly news
papers at its annual meeting in
Miami, Fla, May 1921.
Although most Proestant cam
paigns are too new to be judged
yet, the effectiveness of news
paper and magazine advertising
has been demonstrated clearly
by the knights of Columbus.

But that didn't go far enough
to satisfy the courts. The U s.
District Court Of Appeals for

be arbitrarily or capricious. The
