DAILY ENQUIRER'- SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE l:i, 1886, Rev. Julius H. Ward Balances the Evi dence with Impartial Judgment.

Then* has recently been not a littk* dis cussion as regards .Sunday journalism. Home of the large church organizations have seen proper to take up the discussion and have on one or two occasions passed reso lutions condemning such issues of news papers. Under the circumstances it is at once gratifying and reassuring to nswisuch nit article as that by the Rev. Julius H. Ward in the June number of the Forum, in which there is an admission that tin* Sunday paper is not an institution for wholesale denunciation. Mr. Ward, though manifestly in favor of a Sunday I journal within certain limitations, is by no j means n partisan, nor does he address . himself to the subject other than in a ) manner the most reasonable and dispas- , sionate. Such conclusions as he reaches j are those long entertained by the practi- 1 cal workers in the newspajier held and by unprejudiced readers, but there are a fe ' licity of moral reflection and an ingenious expression of sound intelligence that make his article one of the interesting and valuable contributions to a discussion that has lately been urged with a great deal of , zeal and no little acrimony. He* balances the evidence so nicely, with such impartial < justice that those unwilling to think with hint must admit the fairness of his judg ment that Sunday journalism can desire no better advocate than t his reverend gen- ■ tleman, who is not blind h> the* virtues and benefits of an institution whose faults and | deficiencies he does not hesitate to ecu- ! sure. lie believes the Sunday paper is # nc»t yet what it should be, nor what it. must event- ! ually become, an opinion entertained l>\ ( editors of Sunday papers, but he does re- j gartl it as being closely related to tie* movement which is developing modern so ' ciety, giving rise to new forces, and bring 1 i ig classes more intimately into relation i one with another in the activities of life. He knows it to be a wide departure from the traditions of the New Kngland Sab bath, and is mindful of the fact that it is not vet what a large number of the clcrg,\ ! can "honestly endorse. Rut he cannot be blind to the fact that there is something to be said in it-s favor; and bethinks it web Worth the care of the clergy to see that they do not miscalculate the importance of a concern that “is not only the rival of the pulpit in directing life, but immenseJ.N its superior lor effectually reaching the people.” . XJie purport of the article is, Shall tin* church exercise its influence to have an ally in this great power, or devote its oner gies to putting this force into the attitude of an antagonist and so itself fall behind and cease to be a potent influence with tin* spirit of progress? U is obviously as un fair to judge tile Sunday press by its worst examples as to judge Uhristianitv by its imperfect forms, and Mr Ward looks at the question of Sunday journalism broadly, and in the light of what it may be made. He finds that the Sunday issue is belt r than the daily issue. Its “scope is greater; its contents are more diversified; it op re sents the largeness of contemporary life, it indicates truly and clearly the. relative condition and movement of the world. Secular and ethical interests are coining to have the same place and importance in t In* paper that they have in real life. The ar bitrary iilit* between things sacred and things secular is obliterated. The best Sunday papers to-day are the best photo graphs of t In existing conditions of society in the United States. They furnish more perhaps, than anything else the ordinary man’s euucation;’they are so largely rep resentative of the interests of humanity that, even in their present imperfections, their liewsmatfor and editorials have a high ethical value; and when looked at in their wider relations and possibilities, they constitute one of the chief agencies for the transformation of modern society.” This irtdng true, it follows that the Sunday pa per occupies “such a position that no wise man can ignore it,” notwithstanding its “earthly origin, its interference with the traditional Sunday, its possible holding people from church services, its secular spirit and atmosphere.’ 1 A further proposition decisively present ed is to the t fleet that it holds the key of of the secular and religious education of j the masses, and the real issue befort the church, thinks this very sensible preacher, is whether or not it shall be so united to I the institutions of religion as to strengthen 1 rather than destroy the reverent influence that ought to obtain in daily life. Though we are perhaps not prepared to admit that . this is the real consideration, possibly hu\ i iug the opinion thut the Sunday press al ready performs that ofliee, >ve thoroughly agree with Mr. ward that the sober, i n tel - : ligent. thoughtful people cannot afford to 1 disregard what they do not. like.and ignore 1 it. “No true issue that deeply concerns • the thoughts or the neeessities of men can ! lie ignored without losing the key tv) their ! minus and hearts.” Mr. Ward, following! the same idea recently expressed by Mr. j Talmage, describes the Sunday paper a.s t “the world’s university, at which the peo 1 pleat large are educated once a week, and j what controls the Sunday controls what ; lie* between the Sundays. The present and , potential influences of the Sunday papers is equal to that of all other agencies em ployed in this countrv^on Sunday for the i instruction and guidance of human life It has come to that.” These are strong words, hut are they not true words? The Sunday paper has not at tained its highest possible perfection; it is something of a noveltv still, but there can be no doubt it is a vital factor of the imm inent for making what Mr. Ward terms the Sunday of the future, an ideal to hi achieved. “It influences t In unorganized, undisciplined, uncontrolled, unformed cbusses, those who are, for the most part, not yet amenable to the rules of religious I organizations. It holds the place to them that the sermon holds to tin church. That entertains and instructs, hut it at present reaches a class, while the Sunday paper is rapidly becoming the representative organ through which all classes are reached. Its i scope is wider, greater, more inclusive than men think, and its influences reaches to the most fundamental things.“ The pulpit or the religious paper commands ; the few, “but the Sunday paper commands the whole Held,” and is a medium through j which “all questions that pertain toAiner- j ican life and morals can be thoroughly I and adequately treated," and it Is the only I great influence in America “capable oY j shaping things in the large, capable of presenting God to humanity in a fresh 1 light, which hits not yet been mortgaged, 1 which cannot be controlled by wlmt is 1 narrower than the interests of humanity,” and is wholly free from sectarian bias, pre judice or differences. u In short, declares this frank clergyman, the best Sunday newspapers have become i so thoroughly representative in all their • departments that intelligent men and wo 1 men can not afford not to read them. It §nv tv?’ 11survc ‘* v ot> the world on the " hcn they can best tlihik about it,and though it may have come into existence* through sordid or worldly motives.it came certainly in obedience to an impulse which its proprietors and editors Jo not fully comprehend and can hardly be said to control.” One of its best effects “hasbeen to teach the relativity of human interests. The church has said, in effect, that only religion is important; the Sunday paper, by word and example, has emphasized the interests that support and interfoliato witii religion. It has compelled men to accept a larger view of life, and, so far as religious matters have been touched in Sunday jour nalism, they have been discussed with an eve upon what is best for the whole of so ciety.” It is unnecessary to further com ment on this excellent article. We have quoted from it liborally enough to supply food for thought and to suggest the reason able conclusion tiiat the future of society, and of religion as well, requires the co-op eration of the church and the Sunday pa per, and that little is to be gained by an tagonizing an institution so illustrative of the world’s progress in intellectual and, therefore, moral directions. ’I he Small Hoy'm KuMcn. A muskeeter who was flyin’ around in 1 the evenin’ saw a small boy in a house stud.vin’ his jography lesson, and he mur mured to hisself: “I will go in and give that boy a pointer on Cane Horn.” He new in at the winder with a soul full of benevolence, but he was hardly inside lie fore the boy’s mother fetched him a lick with a towel which laid him a corps at her feet. In liis dying moments the muskeeter exclaimed: cause of education lias un- 1 i A las! t li done me!’’ Moral: Ai is sure to co boy that studies jography ■ to some bad end. THE rxKi AND THE HONES. A dog who thot he was awful smart was walkin' along one day when he seed a bone on the grass. — “While I never eat bones myself,” he said as lie looked around, “J’ll bury this for some poor dog who can’t get beef steak.” He made a spring for the bone, but the bone slid away from him, and som< body latted and latted in the terriblest manner. A boy in the back yard had a string tied to t lie bone. “That’s just Ur* way of it,” said the dog as he d cop tied hi.* tail and made a sneak. “Any teller who wanks to do a good action in this world is shure to get left.” Moral: r tell you it’s just awful how the fish bite this spring, and how they won’t let a boy go fishin’. Tin; ROY AND THE HORNET. A boy he stuffed his ole clothes with straw and put the dummy in the fence cor ner of the medder. Bime-hy an old hornet cairn* along on his way home from slealin' wood, and as soon as he set eyes on the boy he said: “Rooks like a thunder shower off there, and it won’t do for this boy to get w< t. He seems like a boy anxious to get up in the world, and I guess I'll lift him.” He lit down on the straw-stuffed boy, and jabbed in his old stinger for keeps,and he was expecting to hear screams of ago ny, when the boy who had put up the job looked through the fence and said: “You needn’t he in a hurry to go on my , account!” “Dog my buttons!” said tLie hornet as he made off; “but that's the last time I’ll try and help a hoy up!” Moral: And a feller could have any amount of fun with a cannon if it wasn’t for his mother, who thinks lie’ll be busted. NOT SEARED, BUT THE HEART THROBS OF TRUE MANHOOD. Hpakta. Ha.. Sept. 22, 1SH5.- To the Conatitu. 1 lion, Atlauyi Were I to practice deception in a ease like this, I would think that iny heart had becomee seared beyond recognition. To be guilty of bearing false testimony, thereby : imperiling the lives of my fellow-men, would , place me beneath the dignity of a gentleman. The facts which I disclose are endorsed and i vouched for by the community in which I live, and I trust they may exert the influence in- ; tended. For twenty long years I have suffered untold j tortures from a terrible pain and weakness in the i small of my back, which resisted all modes and j manner of treatment. For a long time the horrifying pangs of an cat- ' ing cancer of my lower lip has added to my mis- * ery and suffering. This encroaching, burning 1 and painful sore on my lip was pronounced Epi- I thelial Cancer by the prominent physicians in his kection, which stubbornly resisted the best I medical talent. About eighteen months ago a cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which 1 could not be allayed by the ordinary modes of treatment. These sufferings of mist- ry and p rostra i >n be j came so great that, on the 1 Hth of last July, a j leading physician said that 1 could not live long- j er than four days, and 1 had alxuit given up in i despair. The burning and excruciating ravages ! of the cancer, the painful condition of my back and breast, and the rapid prostration of my ! whole system combined to make me a mere wreck of former manhood. While thus seemingly suspended on a thread j between life and death, I commenced the use of j B. B. B., the grandest blood medicim to me and i my household, ever us<*d. The effect was wonderful it was magical. Ti e . excruciating pains which had tormented me by day and by night for twenty years were soon ! held in abeyance, and |>eace and comfort wi ve i restored to a suffering man, the cancer com- i mencod healing, strength was imparted to my ! feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been used I was one of the happiest of men, and felt ' about as well as r ever did. All pain had vanished, the cancel on my lip healed, and I was pronounced cured. To those I who are afflicted, and need u blood remedy. 1 urge the use of B. B. B. as a wonderfully effective, I speedy and cheap blood purifier. Ai.i.kn Grant. Sparta. Ha., September 22, 1885.
