ADVERTISING IS RELIGIOUS 1 NEED, SAYS DR. REISNER Insists on Using Sane Methods to Further the Cause of Christianity. Lake Junaluska, Aug. 9.—Religion is a business, nil enterprise which should employ paid advertising, the Epworh League assembly of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in session here today, was told by leaders in denominational work. "Being n Christian is the biggest business ever undertaken ay a hu man being,” declared l>r. J. H. Bnrnliardt, of Winston-Salem, N. C., in a lecture on the subject: “AA’hat jt means to be a Christian.” “Religion in its largest and ulti mate sense,” Dr. Barnhardt said, “has never been tried, for people are as blinded by the small coin of pre sent values that they cannot see ul- ; timnte values.” Eight essentials in a “business of being a Christian,” the speaker said w’ere: Decision, regeneration, ser vice, enthusiasm, perseverance, op timism, loyalty. Paid advertising was urged upon religious agencies by I)r. O. F. Iteis ner. pastor of the Broadway Temple Methodist church. New York. Dr. Reisner. who is head of the depart ment of religious advertising of the associated advertising clubs of the i world, told the young people that "faith, ambition, integrity, team- , work, and health,” ait! qualities of j the Christian which should be pro- ( pagnted by commercial advertising ] mediums. Campaigns for the build ing of church houses have found ' commercial advertising an aid to suc cess, Dr. Reisner declared. He in sisted that “sane methods” be used 1 in thus scattering abroad informa- ' tion of religious work, adding: “Let us write everywhere: ‘Your church and your religion need you,’ Antil the people live their religion in uprightness and in service.” BELIEVES SLAYER IS LONG-LOST BROTHER Gaffney Textile Workers Seeks to . Communicate With Wounded Mpr derer. Gaffney. S- C., Aug. 9.—AY. E. Moore, well known textile employe of Gaffney, believes that Fred Moore, alleged bootlegger of Clinton. lowa, who on August 4 shot and killed Patrolman Fred Koch of that city, is probably his long missing brother, Clarence Eugene Moore, originally of Oconee county. The Gaffney man is endeavoring to establish com munication with the lowa officials in an effort to ascertain if the Clinton man is his brother. In the fight in Clinton the police officer was slain by Aloore and both Aloore and his wife were wounded by the officer, it being said that Moore will probably die from his wounds. AA'. E. Aloore, of Gaffney, says that his brother, Clarence Eugene Moore, left Oconee county at the age of 18 years and that the missing man would now be about 330 or 37 years old. Upon the death of the parents of AA’. E. Moore, he secured attorneys and detectives endeavoring to locate his missing brother, but without avail. SUIT BY MR- STOLTZ IS DECLARED ABSURD i Also ftldfcutws Contend Plaintiff in Two-Million Dollar Action. Hendersonville, Aug. it- —The suit filed at Hendersonville against Tho mas R. Byrd, of Asheville, and the Standard Mortgage Company by Commodore Perry (Stoltz and the Fleetwood Hotel, asking $2,000,000 for alleged breach of contract over loans has been characterized as “ab surd” and “ridiculous” by attorneys representing the Asheville man. “We absolutely deny all liability,” said one of the attorneys, “and no such contract as is alleged in the complaint ever existed. AA’e are anx ious to have this matter presented in the court and have it disposed of as expeditiously as possible. The whole thing is absurd. It : is no doubt nn attempt on the pkrt of Mr. Stoltz to justify his failure id carfiy out his agreements.” Attorneys for Byrd are Mark AV- Barnard luid the firm of Merrick, Bernard and HeAzfil, of Asheville.

Therefore, I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart. “It certainly is a pleasure to rook upon some of the boys after receiving one of the many packages that have been so kindly donated and I am tak ing the liberty to thank you for those that have-received packages and failed, to write and thank you the second time for those that did write, thereby knowing it will make you more happy, for the next year of work knowing that you have made somebody else enjoy a merry Christmas. (Signed) “ALBER SCHUDDER, “First Brigade, U. S. Alurinos, Port au Prince, Haiti.” “Being from^the State of Missouri, the corn cob pipe was naturally ap preciated. All the boys received bags. It sounds like an organ recital around here now. There’s a reason —har- monicas.” (Signed) H. W. LOAVE. “Santa C’.aus has most certainly arrived. The surprise gift has the gang wild. AA’e all received one and now some of them arc on the deck playing marbles and the balance play ing on toy harmonicas.” (Signed) HOAVARD P.
