Advertising Pays Any Church, Says Pastor

'Give It Equal Chance With the Devil’
Kov. A. <Slue
ler, who recoin
mends adver-.
tiding and
hard work to
>reachei’N who
would succeed.
Rev. A. C. Shuler, Who Uses Sunday American
Space, Explains His Publicity Ideas.
There is need of different methods
to attract people to church nowadays
than in the days of old, believes the
Rev. A. O. Shuler, pastor of the East
Side Baptist Tabernacle, whose large
display advertisement in last Sun
day’s American, calling attention to
his sermon for the day, attracted con
siderable attention.
Mr. Shuler explained his novel
method to a Sunday American report
er yesterday.
“I am merely trying to give the
church an equal chance with the devil
and with worldly attractions, he said.
“The church has more than a little
competition these days, and the agen
cies of that competition are well ad
vertised.
“The world has changed. People
have changed, even though the Bible
has not. A clergyman these days
must go out and get the people, and
there is no means of getting them
that is quite so effective as advertis
ing.”
His Advertising Pays.
And it pays, too, he said. The U-
tendance following the advertisement
increased more than one-third - near
ly one-half.
“Almost all the people In the sec
tion from which my church must
draw are readers of The Sunday
American,’’ he explained. “It was
easy to see that here was a means
of attracting their attention, and r
took advantage of it.
“All the world to-day are readers
of newspapers. Men and women buy
newspapers, you must admit, before
they do Bibles and church papers
even. Newspapers have a tremen
dous responsibility and a tremendous
mission.”
Mr. Shuler prophesied the coming
of a day when every church must ad
vertise emphatically its services, if 't
would attract the public.
Times Changed, He Asserts.
“The trouble with a great many
clergymen,” he said, “is that they have
not come to realize that times have
changed, and that people have
changed. Scores of preachers are still
possessed with the false notion that
if they can have a doctor’s degree at
tached to their names, can be able to
look dignified, flatter the women, anr*
kis9 the babies, they can succeed in
drawing people to them. But that
doesn’t go any longer.
“Preachers should not be retiring
and averse to ublicity. False prido
makes for inefficiency these days.
Publicity combined with efficiency is
the secret of genius. No laudable un
dertaking is impossible if publicity of
the matter is directed in proper chan
nels and through the right mediums.
“Advertising and hard work are ns
essential to a preacher’s success as to
a layman’s. A great many preachers
are actually lazy. A clergyman should
not see how little he can do to satis
fy his people and hold his own, but
how much more he can do than Is ex
pected of hlrn. He must study his
people. He must flavor his sermons
with local color and with contem
porary discussion. He must talk about
things of the day and of the moment.
Evangelization Modernized.
“Thus in- will have a message for
his people that will hold them, once
they are attracted by means of ad
vertising.
“You see. methods of evangelization
are being modernized, just as are the
methods that concern other enter
prises and institutions.
“And the public's frame of mind, as
to what they want to hear In the
churches, is changed to-day. Many
clergymen work on the Idea that you
can catch more flies with sugar than
with vinegar. That may be true of
flies, but not of people. Men and
women want to hear the truth, wheth
er they say so or not. Diplomacy and
politics among preac hers don’t work
any more with the masses. Men and
women want honesty, directness and
frankness.
“And. only thus can the clergyman
who attracts his audience hold it. He
really must want that audience,
though, and plan carefully each serv
ice.”
Mr. Shuler has been in Atlanta as
pastor of the East Side Tabernacle
only a few weeks. Four years ago,
however, he was stationed in this city
and is widely known.

Detectives Stil! Seek ‘Man of
Mystery’ Whose Card Was
round on Victim.
A« a result of clews found late
Saturday nigh; by Detectives Ros ier
and Wylie and Frank Rosier, brother
of the injured man, it was said at
police headquarters at midnight that
’the arrest of the men who assaulted
and almost killed Jayson Rosier Fri
day night and left him lying, bruised
and battered, in an alley off Decatur
street, is expected within 24 hours.
Rosier has been assisting the po-
lice in the search for his brother s
assailants since lie identified the
wounded man at Grady Hospital Sat
urday morning, and declared at police
headquarters last night that he has
,; v ’arthed evidence th&l points to th<-
guilty persons.
Robbery Thought Motive.
| The detectives working on the race
J returned to their theory that robbery
• was the motive for the crime after a
1 conference with Rosier, who declared
that a diamond stud valued at $350
and a gold watch had been taken
from his brother.
When the mutilated form of the
young man was found by Policeman
Hanna, in the muddy alleyway, the
watch was gone.
Hosier's pockets also were turned
out, which gave rise to the robbery
theory.
Detectives think that if robbery
was not really the motive, and that
the watch was taken and the pockets
turned out for a “blind,” they will
have a hard time tracing and finding
the watch.
“Man of Mystery” Sought.
Detectives Rosser and Wiley have
been unable as yet to find the mys
terious man, whose card was found In
Hosier’s packet and about whom in
formation was furnished to the de
tectives that caused them immedi
ately to begin a hunt for him.
They believe this man, if found,
may bd able to throw some light on
the mystery, or a I least us to the
movements of Mr. Rosier on Frida>
night.
By direction of Frank Rosier the
injured msn '■ as n mo\• d Satur lay
from the charity ward in the hospital
to a pay ward, and a special nurse
was assigned to care for him. Mr.
Hosier directed that every attention
possible be shown his brother.
Rosier’?* face was beaten into an
unrecognizable mass, and he is unable
to take 1 any nourishment. He lay all
Saturday in a comatose state, and it
was impossible for physicians to
forecast the outcome of his injuries.

cles of his back near the left shoulder.
Dr. William Harsha. who assumed
charge of the case at St. Luke's Hos
pital, said in a bulletin to-night that
Mr. Moyer's condition was serious,
hut with small likelihood of becoming
critical unless complications were met
in extracting the bullet.
The surgeon declared Mr. Moyer
would not be allowed to speak at a
labor mass meeting planned by Chi
cago labor officials for to-morrow aft
ernoon to protest against the treat
ment given him in Hancock, Mich.,
Friday night by several men said to
j have been armed gangsters in the
employ of some of those opposed to
the striking miners.
Mr. Moyer was accompanied hv
Charles H. Tanner, of Los* Angeles,
auditor of the Federation, also said
to have been a victim *>f the mob, and
Victor L. Berger, the Socialist leader
of Milwaukee and former Congress
man.
Asked as to his plans for the future,
Moyet said: "i un going back to
Calumet. 1 am going to win better
wage* and better living conditions for
those miners. 1 am going to ask the
Government to protect me.”

chine from the tank in front of tne

on Socialist Organ.
OALUMBT. MICH.. Her, 27. Tile

Socialist Finnish daily, published at
Hancock, was placed undtr arrest
to-night. The warrants charge ma

crimes. ’

the necks of children they pulled
off the struggling mass in the stair
