WOULD ADVERTISE CHURCH

Milwaukee Minister Tells of What He Could Do If He Were a Millionaire Layman. Rev. \V. T. Dorward. in a sermon at Milwaukee the other Sunday, told his; congregation what he would do to advertise his church if he were a millionaire layman. He said: “I would advertise in all our city papers, paying the price 1 for space as do our city merchants; 1 would use printer's ink freely in every sensible way. I would have in glaring Tetters of electricity the name of my church. It would burn and glow every night in the finest place In the city that money could buy and in such a wav that the biggest film in our city would pale in insignificance. I woußl help with my money to make my church the most attractive place in the city—attractive outside and in. I would have an institute for boys and men, girls and women. “Rut having said all this, as a millionaire and Christian, I would try to remember that my church, in spite of this advertising glare and flare, would soon die of dry rot unless the spiritual light were kept constantly burning. I am sorry we have not a millionaire of this type in our church. If you find bjm, tell him I desire to see him at once.”
