No men were niore valiant than those ancestors. They r alized exactly what they did, they knew they did not match in num vers or in equipment with the force they would engage and whose progress they would oppose. All they did know was that justice was upon their side and this they would strive for at 0 f their strengih aud trust the rest to Providence, : c vere of course and some were shot down and others wounded the village green was baptised with the first blood of a righteous cause that was only to be settled after thirteen years warfare : If the first encounter of the R the defenders of America, the second one, at Concord, six miles westward and a few hours later was more successful. At the bridge at Concord at which ammunition and supplies were stored and which was the objective of the British troops under P. uirn, the invaders were repulse id driven back to Boston in ignominious defeat. The fighting blood of the col- onists was aroused by this time and regardless of superior numbers, vietory was upon the side of the men who would not he trampled under the foot of despotism. _ Today and tomorrow Americans are e elebrating the an niyersary of these engagements as befits “the shots that were heard ‘round the world.” Descendants of Paul Revere and William Dawes who rode the Concord road to notify the peo ple of the approach of the British will re-enact the famous midnight ride celebrated in song and story.

Both cities voted on a traction proposal which was pronounced a good business move by many experts. But in both instances the peo ple registered a perhaps exaggerated alarm lest politics should be injected into the public utility business. Rightly or wrongly, the people still x menace to husinese td politics as a Church Advertising Vhe y. Laurence B, ¥ alker, pastor of the Cong ation al church at Saco, Me. i largest Congregational church in New England, and known as the “Whirlwind advertising man of the pulpit” talked io a convention of Boston preachers the other day and told them how to do it Mr. Walker said: “There are three classes ot people who talk al the ‘old-time r ow and want no ad g because they really have no religion to udvertise: the very aristocratic ho know that advertisin: will fi), the and therefore nt no advertising because they want ¥ of comfort and room in the church; and there class, which believes in adyertis ng. The church riises truthfully and interestingly ith sufficient will draw the crowds because all the people Sunda They go wher’ they find something to interest them. be it (ie theater, store window, or the « i! nd it lies within the power of the church, he maintained, to provide what the people craye and let them know that it has it, Thus far the church seems to have failed to sell itself to ity own members, or to its community, “Popularity of the church depends upon its ability to change the order of things a little, till the people begin to ex pect something of it.

Men will ce ran indefinite y d or four hours. Coming more specifically to the methods of advertising, Mr. Walker said that the church which simply announces the order of its service gets nowhere. It must have something t advertise, and must advertise it; then the problem wil] be to ke people away. Novelty in advertising sermons will help. While the bandits were so active in the state the speaker a) nounced the subject of his sermon ‘Bandits on the Jericho Road” which w the Sa an” sermon Use slogans. Call the church by some special name in the advertising, such as “The Chureh of the Multitude,” or “The Chureh Where Men Prevail.” Another suggestion was that sone permanent emblem or sketch, might be selected to appear in all the advertising so that when the people see it they will know instantly what church is meant Churches should use the newspapers, and should advertise attractively, with readable advertisements, with not too many words in them. The less said the beter, if it says the right thing. Don’t tell so much about what has been done, for nobody cares about what the minister has done, They want to know what he is going to do. He should have his sermons prepared vo tlint he can advertise six weeke and develo P in it, Advertising surprises but sur Corer ane ant 78 i r ra Blast church on Sundays that must be transported, and they always ‘tribune| have special there to take care of the crowds.

His own are'issued every week and are always different, There are never two alike in color, style or contents, and people ex- | pect something in them and take them away and send’ then to their friends. Following these modern methods, which busi ness men use in selling their goods, the churches will trans- form the communities and that will transform the political und moral atmosphere. ‘ Regarding some of his own activities, he said that he ad- yertised his sermon one week from an airplane. That was so high that it reached the people. They wanted what they got out of the air, and they read it. The street railway company and the railroad know that there are 1,000 to 1,500 people at his to guarantee to pay for the cars that went to his chureh when they were held there till after midnight, but there were, so, | many people that it paid the company well and no bill for the cars was received. by s F Protected?

Since it was the law enforcement group that was called to defend the governor against possible enemies, and since the governor came through safely, we are wondering Just who kept an e¢ upon and protected the governor against her official protectors” Bulwark of Safety Che supreme court of the United States is the great bul- wark of our liberty, and incidentally the citizen who is in business should bear in mind that it is the bulwark of credit, und credit is both the base and capstone of prosperity. Con- sequently those who smile scornfully at radical attacks on the nation and on business would do well to bear in mind the fact that even if a political reyolution ts not a possibility through the activities of these men, there is always the danger that they will set up uneasiness and destroy credit. It is all very well to talk of communism as a theory, as something im- possible for realization, Yet there is always the danger of all the evil effects of communism, if the radicals gain sufficient power to set up worry in the minds of the people and get them to look askance at their business’ associates. Just as scandal nd gossip may destroy the reputation of an individual in a community, so will attacks on the government, on the supreme court of the United States, on the railroads aud on business men help to bring about a feeling of distrust which is’ almost as hateful in its effec an actual political upheaval. Remembering the Titanic While un iceberg of the first magnitude menaced shipping at the exact spot in the Atlantic where the Titanic sank, and nearly fifteen hundred persons perished, sixteen hundred miles east of New York, on April 14,1912, officers of the coast cuard cutter Modoc conducted memorial services on the anni- versary day. There were prayers, three volleys were fired and the Modoc’s bugler sounded taps. Ships over a wide expanse of ocean joined in the ceremonies and there was five minutes of radio silence Visiting Abroad ; Honorable Thomas Mix in whom Rakes eile : sy has more or less a proprietory interest is visitin, eain eel ted the Mansion House, official home of the lord mayor of London, the other day and presented that dig nitary with a five gallon sombrero and also presented the lord mayor's wife with a Mexican. blanket. Crowds of London's urchins cheered the movie cowboy but were disappointed when he negotiated the maze of traffic in an automobile instead of astride his famous pony Tony. The The volume of freight carried by'the railroads during the first two months of this year was the greatest ever recorded for that period. The total 70,560,495,000 net ton miles, was ‘an increase of two-tenths of one per cent over thatin 1924, the previous high record. For February alone, however, the total of 33,552,280,000 net tons miles, was 4 derease of 4.7 per cent from last year. Nineteen hundred agents are now employed by the govern ment to enforce the prohibition laws, 200 having been added during the current fiscal year.

In February the business handled was less than last year, partly because the month was one day shorter, In March loadings were larger in every week than in March, 1924, “In the first 13 weeks of the year coal shipments were 119,606 carloads less than last year, but shipments of other commodities were cary loads more.
