SNIPES PREACHES ON VALUE OF ADVERTISING / / Excelent Sernigfn Heard Last Night By Large Congre gation At The Methodist Church. T6 the Editor:,/ I was greatly Impressed by the eloquent sermon of Rev. K. M. Snipes, delivered on Sunday morn ing to a vA-y large and apprecia tive audience. Hi said in the course of hie remarke that "All of the great industries of the world owe their success to Advertising." "The world has been evangelized for Bull Dur ham tobacco in one generation, and In well known oven in the heart <f Africa and in the Islands of the H<*a, where the name of Christ has never been heard. "We as Christiana have only be?n playing at this game of adveYtising Christianity ; we have the best re ligion In the world and we should advertise It to the world by our con secrated lives and christian service to men; we are Indebted to the mis slonarles from Europe snd England for the Christianity which we enjoy today, therefore why should we not bslleve in missions, and In giving our money to send this Qospel or good-news to those of other lands." All of this is only too true, and the writer believes that as the sac cess of this earthly life and our sec tyliir ImImm d?R?nd? upon Using, Fo the auccesa t?f the spread of the Christian Religion depends upon [It being "preached in a 11 the world to every creature." as Christ com manded It. to he by yon and me. Therefore it \h your duly and mine to neo that other* are brought within the hearing of this gospel, by in viting them to church or by preach ing to Ihem from our own exper ience or by aendlng the gospel to thfm.

May Ood help us all. to feel this call to Christian service. Is the prayer of Your humble servant, QUO, B 9H1PMAN. can ms in i n a AI.I. liOAI> OVERSEERS RAVK BEEN ABOLISHED IX THAT j TOWNSHIP.
