.HE MT. PLEASANT TIMES SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1933.
TO BE UNDERSTOOD
Finally Jesus knew the necessity
for repetition and practiced it. One
of the sons of President Garfield was
traveling with him through Ohio,
when the President was addressing
county fairs. At the close of the day
he asked his boy what he thought of
his speeches. The hc.y was embar
rassed by the question:
“Why . . . why they were fine,
dad,” he stammered, “but I felt aw-
fully uncomfortable part of the time.
YTou repeated yourself so often; once
you said the very same thing in dif-
ferent words four times over,”
Garfield slapped the boy’s shoul-
der with a hearty laugh.
“So you thought your old dad was

■ running out of ideas, did you?” he
I cried. “Well, I don’t blame you; but
i there’s a method in his madness. To-
: morrow when I reach that passage
' in my talk, you watch the audience,
i The first time I make the point, you’ll
see by their faces that a few folks
near the platform get it. But fur-
ther back there will be noise and
.commotion; people will be turning
i their heads to find out who has just
I driven up, or what sort of a hat Mrs.
] Jones has on and they won’t hear me
1 at all. When I repeat it the first
time a few faces in the middle of the
crowd will show a response; on the
! third go, I’ll make still more converts,
' and on the fourth trial they’ll all have
i a notion of what I am talking about.
But it takes four shots to land them
all; experience with all sorts of au-
diences has made me sure of that.”
It has been said that “reputation
is repetition.” No important truth
can be impressed upon the minds of
any large number of people by being
said only once. The thoughts which
Jesus had to give the world were
revolutionary, but they were few in
number. “God is your father,” he
‘said, “caring more for the welfare of
every one of you than any human
father can possibly care for his chil ■
dren. His Kingdom is happiness!
His rule is love.” This is what he
had to teach, but he knew the neces-
sity of driving it home from every
possible angle.
So in one of his stories God is the
shepherd searching the wilds for one
wandering sheep; in another, the
Father welcoming home a prodigal
boy; in another a King who forgives
his debtors large amounts and expects
them to be forgiving in turn—many
stories, many advertisement-, but the
same big Idea.
Because the advertisements were
unforgettable, the Idea lived, and is
today the one most powerful influence
on human action and thought. To
be sure the work of the advertise-
ments is far from complete. The
Idea that God is the Father of all
men—not merely of a specially se-
lected few—has still to penetrate
some creeds, and to establi h its
dominance in society.—Bruce Barton.

Good news travels
fast!
BAD News used to have the reputation for speed.
But such is the demand for the good things of life to-
day that good news travels even faster.
The earners of many of the good tidings that ev-
ery one is eager to hear are right before you. They are
the advertisements in this paper. They bring good
news about soap and cereals, sedans and cigarettes.
Good news for the housewife. Good news for the bu-
siness man. Good news for every one who believes in
comfort and happiness.
Let an automobile maker in Detroit or an orange
grower in Florida develop a finer product. You will
hear about it—not in a couple of years, not just “some
time.” The whole new story will be rushed to you on
the wings of the greatest good-news service in the
world—advertising.
Advertisements are filled with the kind of good
words you like to find. They tell you of new prod-
ucts, new improvements in a well-known merchandise,
new values and new ways to increase your well-being.
And always they tell you not only where and how to
purchase goods of assured merit, but also the way to
be certain of obtaining 100 cents’ worth of value for
every dollar you spend. Read them—and get their
news regularly! 4 '-T ■*
