He had been in felling health for some lime, hut las iwat not until three days ago that any fear for his recov ery was expressed.

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. A PERSISTENT PURPOSE TO PRODUCE PERFECT WORK has been the aim of THE TRIO LAUNDRY during the past year.

WILSON. W. H. HARRIS. 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. American Countess Publishes Her Book WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Wash ington learned with pleasure that the Countess De Chambrun, sister of former Congressman Nicholas Dong- worth, whose husband was formerly military attache of the French Em bassy here, has published a book entitled “The Sonnets of Shakespeare, New Light arid Old Evidence.” Recently Count De Chambrun re- I turned to active duty in the French j army.

Dll IT PLOT Attacks on City Officials After Theater Horror Causes Raid on Socialist Organ. OALUMBT. MICH.. Her, 27. Tile staff of the newspaper Tymnles, a Socialist Finnish daily, published at Hancock, was placed undtr arrest to-night. The warrants charge ma licious conspiracy to incite rioting.
