Canon Hannay ("George A. Birmingham") spoke in a recent discussion in London following- a paper on "The Church and Advertising."

They welcome you there as if you were their wealthy uncle and they your only heir. Number 15 car toots you within two blocks for 10 cents. The Rev. Clements, milliliter of the second Presbyterian Church, sure does put over some strong tall--on Sundays. You may not be much of a churchman, but you will enjoy him." Canon Hannay suggested the following, if the Church advertised in this country: "What has happened to your Sunday smile since Dean Inge left St. Paul's? Why not try the l!cv. Henry Merriman at St. Hilarious, generally known as the P. G. Wodehouse of the pulpit 1"
