McHenry IT PAYS TO SHOP IN McHENRY Mark was actually being enticed by the Devil. For stodgy clergymen are helping Satan kill 6ff attendance and close up God's church dwellings! So why don't you preachers get on God's side and learn the sim­ ple strategy for filling the pews? Jesus outlined it, as I have described below. It's available to all speakers! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-590: Mark V., aged 42, is a clergyman. "Dr. Crane, " he began, "I am about ready to give up the pulpit. "For I just can't get peo­ ple to come to church. "For years I've tried to de­ lude myself that television is the reason parishioners stay home. "But other ministers, often with less education than I have, can still fill their churches. "I spent 4 years in college and 3 years at the seminary. "And I have helped burn the mortgages at 3 churches, but my parishioners never care to have me stay more than a couple of years. ' My wife thinks I ought to stick to the pulpit but I am so discouraged, I think I'll take a job at a factory, unless you can argue me out of it." SUCCESS FORMULA Since we have a dearth of clergymen and thousands of empty churches here in Amer­ ica, I urged Rev. Mark to stick to his pulpit. But I guaranteed him success if he would simply ignore the stodgy methods of the past and take an entirely new viewpoint. "Imagine," I began, 4 that you are now working on your Ph. D. in psychology under my direction. "Forget the fact you've been a pastor for the past 20 years. "Instead, take the viewpoint of a graduate student in ex­ perimental psychology and see what effects you can produce on an audience by the public speaking formula I'll pre­ scribe." Then I outlined the type of sermon I wanted him to deliver the next Sunday. I asked him to give me a text or title, which he did. "Now,' I added, 4 name 3 people who will likely be in your congregation that morn­ ing." He did. "Figure out a relevant way to bring their names into your WE APPLAUD THE YOUNG MAN IN PLAID . . .

I Jj' For Lean-aBBRs sermon," I urged. "Make pastoral calls on them this week and try to notice something in their home or farm or store which lends itself to being a relevant example for your sermon text." Then I gave him some mildly humorous stories that would also fit into his address and of­ fer his audience a chance to laugh. He hesitated about the funny stories, for he had always been so excessively intellectual and stodgy that he felt he couldn't get by with even one teeny little joke. But I insisted. Then I warned him to build his sermon to a crescendo and as he entered his peroration, to recite an appropriate poem which expressed his climactic thought in verse. For rhythm grips an audience better than prose, especially at the climax. He agreed to follow my pre­ scription and report back. Each of those 3 parishioners he had named, slapped him on the back, telling him it was the best sermon he had ever giv­ en. The following week, he re­ peated this strategy but named 3 more. His use of cases mere­ ly imitated Christ's parable technique and is a guaranteed way to perk up the interest of any audience. His congregation begged him to return at the end of the year and raised his salary 20 per cent. Attendance also had jumped almost 30 per cent.
