I had some great injustice il me mu there is
not nn clitoi ial or a reportorisl room in the
United Slates inlo which 1 could not go and
get mysdf set right, and that is ‘rue of any
well known Christian. Already the daily
secular press during the course of ea. h week
publishes as much religious information and
high moral sentiment as does the w-. esly re
ligious press. Why th-n does not our glori
ous Christianity embrace these magnificent
opportunities! I have liefore me asiibjectof
first and last importance. How slmll we so
cure the secular pres* as a mightier re en
forcement to religion and the pulpit
The first thing toward this result is cessa
tion of indiscriminate hostility against ue wa
rn perdom. You might as well denounce the
legal profession liecause of the shysters, or
the medical profession liecause of the quacks,
or merchandise because of the swindling ar
gain makers, as to slambang newspapers be
cause there are recreant editors and unfair
reporters and unclean columns. Guttenljerg,
the inventor of the art of printing, was about
to destroy his types and extinguish the art
because it was suggested to him that print
ing might be suborned into the service of the
devil but afterward h? bethought himself
that the right use of th art might more than
overcome the evil use of it, and so he
spared the type and the intelligence of all fol
lowing ages. But there are many to day in the
depressed mootl of Outtenberg with uplifted
hammer, wanting to pound to p eces the
type who have not readied his letter mood
in which he saw the art of printing to be the
rising sun of the world s illumination. If in
stead of fighting newspapers wo spend the
same length of time and the same vehemence
in marshaling their help in religious direc
tions we would be as much wiser os the man
who gets consent of the railroad sujieriii
tendent to fasten a car to the end of a rail
train, shows better sense than he who runs
his wheelbarrow 7 up the track to meet and
drive hack the Chicago limited express. Ihe
■illiest thing that a man ever does is to fight
anewsp tper, for you may have the floor lor
utterance perhaps one day in the week, while
the newspaper ha-' the floor every day of the
week. Napoleon, though a mighty man, ha 1
many weaknesses, and one of the weakest
things he ever did was to threaten that if the
English newspapers did not stop their ad
verse criticism of himself he would with four
hundred thousand bayonets cross the channel
for their chastisement.
Don't fight newspai>ers. Attack provokes
attack. Better wait till the excitement blows
ov<r and then go in and get justice, for get
It you will if you have patience and common
sense and equipoiso of disposition. It ought
to be a mighty sedative that there is an
enormous amount of common s *nse in the
world, and you will eventually lie taken for
what you are really worth, and you cannot
be puffed up end you cannot be written
down, and if you are the enemy of good so
ciety that fact will come out. and if you are
the friend of good society that fact will be
established. I know what lam talking
about, for I can draw on my own experience.
All the responsible newspapers as far as I
know are my friends now. But many of
you remember the time when I was
the most continuously and meanly at-
tackcil man in this country. God gave
me grace not to answer tuck, ami I kept
•Hence for ten years, and much grace is
required. What I said was perverted and
twisted into just the opposite of what I did
6ay. My person was maligned, and I was
Presented as a gorgon, and I was maliciously
escribed by persons who had never seen me
as a monstrosity in body, mind and soul.
There were millions of people who lielieved
that there was a large sofa in this pulpit, al
though we never had nnyt hing hut a chair,
and tnat during the singing by the congrega
tion 1 was accustomed to lie down on that
•ofa and dangle my feet over the end. Lying
New York correspondents for ten years
misrepresatitod our church services, hut
we waited, and poople from every neighbor
hood of Christefc lorn came here to find the
magnitude ot the falsehoods concerning the
church and concerning myself. A reaction
■et in and now we have justice, full justice,
more than justice and as much overpraise as
once we had under appreciation, and no man
that ever lived waa so much indebted to the
newspaper press for opportunity to preach
the Gospel as I am. Young mon in the min
istry, young men in all professions and occu
pations, wait. You can atiord to wait.
Take rough misrepresentation as a Turkish
towel to start up your languid circulation,
or a system of massage or Swedish move
ment, w hose pokes and pulls and twists and
thrusts are salutary treatment. There is
one person vou need to manage and that is
yourself, neep your disposition sweet by
communion with the Christ who answered
not aga n, the society of genial people, and
walk in the sunshine with your hat off and
you will come out all right. And don't join
the crowd of people in our day who spend
much of their time damning newspapers.
Again, in this effort to secure the secular
press as a mightier re-enforcement of religion
and the pulpit, let us make it the avenue of
religious information. If you put the facts
of churches and denominations of Christians
only into the columns of religious papers,
■which do not in this country have an aver
age of more than ten thousand subscribers,
what have you done as compared with what
you do if you put these facts through the
daily papers which have hundreds of thou
sands of readers f Every little denomination
must have its little organ, supported at great
expense, when, with one-half the outlay,a col
umn or half a column of room might he
rented in some semi-omnipotent secular pub
lication, and so the religious information
would t>e sent round and round the world.
The world moves so swiftly to-day that nows
week old is stale. Give us all the groat
church facts and all the revival tidings the
next morning or the same evening. My ad
vice, often given to friends who propose to
start a newspaper, is: “Don’t! Don’t 1 Em
ploy the papers already started*” The big
gest financial hole ever dug in this American
continent is the hole in which good people
throw their money when they start a news
paper. It is almost as good and as quick a
way of getting rid of money as byying stock
in a gold mine in Colorado. Not more print
ing presses, but the right use of those already
established. All their cylinders, all their
steam power, all their pens, all their types,
all their editorial chairs and reportorial
rooms are available if you would engage
them in behalf of civilization and Chris
tianity.
Again: If you would secure the secular
press as a mightier re-enforcement of religion
and the pulpit, extend widest and highest
courtesies to the representatives of journal
ism. Give them easy chairs and plentv of
room when they come to report occasions.
For the most part they are gentlemen of ed
ucation anti refinement, graduates of colleges,
with families fo support by their literary
craft, many of them* weary with the push of
a business that is precarious and fluctuating,
each one of them the avenue of information to
thousands of readers, their impression of the
services to be the impression adopted
by multitudes. They are connecting
links between a sermon or a song
or a prayer and this great popula
tion that tramp ui and down the streets day
by day and year by year with their sorrows
mcomforted and their sins un pardoned.
More than eight hundred thousand people in
Brooklyn, and less than seventv-five thousand
in churches so that our cities are not so
much preached to by ministers of religion as
by reporters. Put all journalists into our
prayers and sermons. Of all the hundred
thousand sermons preached to day, there will
not lie three preached to journalists, and
probably not one. Of all the prayers offered
for claves of men innumerable the pravers
offered for this most potential c’ass will be so
few and rare that they will be thought a
preacher's idiosyncrasy. This world will
never be brought to God until some revival
of religion sweeps over the laud and takes
into tne kingdom of God editors and re-
E utters, Compositors, pressmen and news
oys. And if you have not laith
enough to pray for that and toil for that,
you had better get out of our ranks
*hd join the other side, for you are the un
fWfevers who make the wheels of the Bord ■
chariot drng heavily. Th great final battle
b-t wen truth and error, the Armage Idon, I
think will not l*e fought with awords and
•hells and guns, but with pens, quill rums,
•teel pens, gold pans, fountain pen*, and, bo
fore that, tho pen* roust b* converted. The

‘ But.” boiiio one might ask. ‘ would you
make the Hutiday newspaper* alao a re-en
forcement'” Yes, I would. I have learned
to take things ns they are. 1 would like to
see the much arolfert at old Puritan Sabbathi
I come back again. Ido not think the modern
Sunday will turn out any better men and
women than were your grandfathers and
grandmothers under the old fafthionisi Sun
day. To say nothing of other results, Sun
day newspajsirsare killing editors, reporters,
oomoositom and pres on n. Every man,
woman and child is entitled to twenty four
hours of nothing to do. If the n wspapers
put on Another set of bands that do is not
relieve the editorial and rep rtor al room of
its car’S an l responsibilities Our literary
men die fast enough without killing them
with Sunday work. But the Sunday news
paper has come to stay. It will stay a
good d*al longer than anv of us stav. What,

or a seaside sanitarium. Urge all managing
editors to put m auness and impurity in type
petrl <>r agate, and charity ami 11 lelity ami

geois. If we cannot drive out the Sunday
newspajier let us have the Sunday newspaper
converted. The fact is that the modern Sun.
day newspaper is a great improvement on
the old Sunday newspaper. What a loastly
thing was the Sunday newspaper thirty years
ago! It wag enough to destroy a mans re-
Hjiectability to leave the tip end of it stick
ing out of his coat pocket. What editorials!
What advertisements! What pictures! The
modern Sunday newspaper u as much an
improvement on the old time Sunday news*
paper as one hundred is more than twenty
five; in words, about 75 per cent, Im-
I movement. Who knows that by prayer nnd
:indly consultation with our literary friends
we may have it lifted into a positively re
ligious sheet, printed on Saturday night and
only distributed, like the Americ tn
g?r } ortho Missionary Journal , or the Sun
day School Advocate , on S ibbath mornings/
All things are possible with God,
and my faith is up until nothing
in the way ot religious victory would sur
prise me. All the newspaper printing
presses of the earth are going to bo the
Lord's, and telegraph nnd telephone and
tvf>e will yet announce nations born in a day.
The first book ever printed was the Bible bv
Faust and his son in law, SchoofTer, in 14<i0,
and that consecration of type to the Holy
Scriptures was a prophecy or the great mis
sion of printing for ihe evangelizatifta of all
the nations. The father of the American
printing press was a clergyman, Itev. Jesse
Glover, and that was a prophecy of the re
ligious use that the Gospel ministry in this
country were to make of the types.
Again, we shall secure the secular press as
a mightier re-enforcement of religion and the
pulpit by making our religious utterances
more interesting and spirited, and then the
press will reproduce them. On the way to
church some fifteen years ago, u journalist
said a thing that has kept me ever since
thinking. “Are you going to give us any
points to-day?” “What do you mean/” 1
asked. He said: “I mean by that anything
that will le striking enough to t>e remem
bered.” Then I said to myself: What right
have wo in our pulpits and Sunday schools to
take the time of people if we have nothing to
say that w memorable? David did not
have any difficulty in r membering Nathan's
thrust: “ Thou art the man: nor Felix
in remembering Paul’s point blank utter
ance on righteousness, temperance nnd
judgment to coma; nor the English King
any difficulty in remember ng what the
court preacher said, when during the ser
mon against sin the preacher threw his hand
kerchief into the king’s pew to indicate whom
he meant. The tendency of critic ism in the
theological seminaries is to file off from our
young men all the sharp roints and make
them too smooth for any kind of execution.
What we want, all of us, is more point, less
humdrum. If we say the right thing in the
right way the press will be glad to echo and
re-echo it. Sabbath s hool teachers, reform
ers, young men and old men in the ministry,
what we all want if we are to make the
printing press an ally in Christian work is
that which the reporter spoken of suggested
—points, sharp points, memorable points.
Rut if the thing l>e dead when ntt red hv
living voice, it will be a hundredfold mors
dead when it is laid out in cold typo.
Now, as you all have something to do with
the newspaper press either in i -suing a paper
or iu reading it. either as producers or pa
trons, either as sellers or purchasers of the
printed sheet, I propose ou this Sabbath
morning, June 17, 1888. a treaty to bo signed
between the church and the printing press, a
treaty to bo ratified by millions of good peo
ple if we rightly fashion it, a treaty promis
ing that wo will help each other in our work
of trying to illumine nni felicitate the
world, we by voice, you by pen, we by
speaking only that which is worth print
ing, you by printing only that which is
fit uo speak. You help us and we will help
you. Side by sido be these two potent agencies
until the Judgment Day, when we must both
bo scrutinized for our work, healthful or
blasting. The two worst off men in that
day will be the minister of religion nnd the
editor if they wasted their opportunity.
Both of us art* the engineers of Jong express
trains of influence, and we will run into
a depot of light or tumble them off the em
bankment.
What a useful life and what a glorious de
parture was that of the most famous of ull
American printers. Benjamin Franklin,
whom infidels in the penury of their re
sources have often fraudulently claimed for
their own, but the printer who moved that
the Philadelphia convention be opened with
prayer, the resolution lost because a ma
jority thought prayer unnecessary, and who
wrote at tho time he was viciously attacked:
“My ru e is to go straight forward in doing
what apjiears to me to be right, leaving the
consequences to Providence,” anti who wrote
this quaint epitaph showing his hope of res
urrection, an epitaph tht 1 hundreds of
times read while living in Philadelphia:
The Body
of
Benjamin Franklin, Printer
(Like the cover of an old book.
Its contents torn out.
And stript of its lettering and gilding),

That Providence intends the profession of
reporters to have a niightv share in the
world’s redemption is suggested l y the fact
that Paul and Christ took a reporter along
with them, and he reported their addresses
and reported their acts. Luke was a re
porter, and he wrote not only the t>ook of
Luke, but the Acts of the Apostles, and
without that reporter's work we would ha*-R
Known nothing of the Pentecost, and noth
ing of Stephen's martyrdom, and nothing of
Tabitha's resurrect on, and nothing of the
jailing and unjailing of Paul and Silas, and
nothing of the shipwreck at Mel it a. Strike
out the reporter’s work from the Bible and
vou kill a large part of the New Testament.
It makes mu think that in the future of the
kingdom of God the reporters are to bear a
mighty part.
About thirteen years ago a representative
of an important newspajier took his seat in
this church, one Sabbath night, about five
pews from the front of this pulpit. He took
out pencil and reporter's paa,resolved tocari*
cature the whole scene. When the music began
he began,and with his pencil he derided that,
and then deride ! the prayer, and then derided
the reading of the Scriptures,and then began
to deride the sermon. But, he says, for some
reason his hand began Ito trembl *, and he,
rallying himself, sharpened his {lencil and
started again, but broke down again, and
then put pencil and paper in his pocket
and his bead down on the front of the pew
and began to pray. At the close of the
service ho came up and asked for the
prayers of others and gave his heart
to God; a’though still engaged in news
paper work, he is an evangelist, and hires a
hall at his own expense and every Sabbath
afternoon preaches Jesus Christ to the peo
ple. And the in<*n of that profession are go
ing to come in a body throughout the coun
try. I know hundreds of them, and a more
genial or highly educated class of men it
would be hard to find, and, though the
tendency of their profession may be toward
skepticism, an organized, common sense
Gospel invitation would fetch them to the
front of all Christian endeavor. Men of the

Artless Innocence.
“She was a particular friend of mj
wife,” said a friend of the Stroller, al
though an entire stranger to me. She
was to visit us for the t.rst tune, and ]
was requested to meet her at an evening
train at the Union Depot. Miss—
was rather a large blonde, somewhat
after the Swedish type. Her plain dress
and unatdectod way, as well as her fresh
complexion, indicated that she was a
country girl, and, indeed, I remember
hearing my wife gay that her people lived
on a farm. 1 introduced myself and we
ascended the steps and started toward
the Madison street car. ‘How sad!’ shg
exclaimed. ‘But it is a large funeral I
Do you often have such occurences at
this late hour in Chicago? I dared not
laugh at her for fear of giving offense,
•o 1 simply said: ‘Oh, that is no funeral
procession; those are hacks and cabs
that are for hire, and they are obliged
to stand in line and not fill the street,’
Several other things equally ‘green’ and
absurd were asked about before we
reached home, and each time I innocent
ly corrected her and entered into ex
planations to familiarize our verdant
guest with city ways. It was after din
ner that night that I heard a suppressed
tittering in the hack parlor between my
wife and her girl friend, and presently
they both rushed upon me and laughed
outright. I had been victimized by the
blonde beauty. She had spent mouths
in Washington, had been to Europe and
traveled a great deal, but she had been
taken for a ‘green one’ before, and she
had seized upon this opportunity to
play a practical joke on me. She told
me afterward that she never had such a
task to contain herself as during that ride
in the street-car whea I was innocently
explaining ‘city ways’to her, when she
was familiar with more cities than I ever
hoped to visit ”
Why It Does Not.
Why does not wool felt on the sheep’s
back? The answer is simple. Because
all the fibres are lying one way. The
serrutures always point in the direction
away from the root of the fibre, and thug
they cannot fit into each other any
more than two saw edges pointing the
the same way could interlock, or than
two fir cones could stick together if both
lay in tho same direction. But reverse
one of them and then try to draw it past
the other while touching it, and they will
at once become fastened together. In
like manner, during the various pro
cesses of manufacture, the fibres of
wool are pulled about in every direction,
and thus their edges are placed with
many of the points facingeich other and
ready to seize hold when the felting op
eration begins.— Dry Good* Chronicle .

it their abiding place. Newspapers laid
under a carpet are said to be an effective
aid in driving away these troublesome
pests, but baid sweepings are more re
liable. If a room is to be shut up foi
sny length of time something should be
sprinkled over the floor.”
“Portieres and all curtains must have
frequent shakings or the moth millers
will be sure to lodge in their folds. The
great object is to keep them out of a
house, for when they once locate and
take up a claim, they have the ‘squat
ter’s right,’ and only force can drive
them out."
“But how are the unfortunates who
already have them iu their houses to get
rid of them?”
“For such cases, I know of nothing
better than some of the moth powders.
The other things I have mentioned are
preventives against moths, but these
powders kill the moths themselves.”
“Are they poisonous!”
“No. They are perfectly harmless.
The moths do not cat the powder, but
are suffocated by it. The powders are
made from a tree that grows in Persia,
and will kill anything that hasn’t lungs.
I sprinkle it plentifully around a room
where there are moths, shut up the room
for a while, nnd wirntmoth heaven gains,
we lose. The powders are good to put
under carpets, and if a house is to be
closed, should be liberally used in every
room. A carbolic acid dilution is also
very good for anything that can be
dampened without injury.”

was beautifully made, embroidered,

have taken many months to complete
them, and a search through all the fancy
work articles in the various ladies’ maga
zines and papers to get the suggestions.
The housekeeping tastes of the young
bride rejoiced at the various contrivances
for keeping things in order, and when
in the very bottom of the bag she found
a purse of knitted silk and beads—a
veritable money bag—her delight knew
no bounds. The money bag contained
gold enough to buy bags to cover and
hold anything and everything in a well
furnished house, and the happy recipient
immediately began to make a handker
chief bag for her husband, a plush one
for his opera glasses, embroidered
chamois-skin bag for a tobacco pouch
and another to hold his pipes, with one
to hold his slipper*, another for his
soiled cuffs, aud one for his eyeglasses,
besides a gunning, tishpole, aud manu

“How do you like the fit of this
dress?” inquired one lady of another at
a dry goods counter recently.
“Beautiful! fits like a glove. Have
you changed your dressmaker?"
“No. I bought this dress ready-made
at a bargain.”
“Impossible! Why, there is positively
not a wrinkle in it.”
“Yet it was made for a woman I have
never seen. The moment I saw the
dress on the form in the store, I said,
‘That is ray fit.’ The measures were ex
actly mine ”
“But if it was made for someone else
how did you get it?”
“Bought it at a bargain, as I said be
fore. Y’ousee it was this way. Mrs.
had the dress made to order. She is just
my size, you know. She paid $lO down
for it, and before she took it her sister
died and she put on black. So in order
to sell the dress the proprietors of the
establishment gave me the goods at cost
and made no charge for the making.
Wasn’t that a bargain ?”
“Yes, if you are not superstitious
about wearing a dress made for another
woman.”
“Why should I be? It was her mis
fortune, not mine, that prevented het
from wearing it. I consider myseli
lucky to get it.”
The two ladies walked away.
“They are bargain-hunters,” said Mr.
Smith, proprietor of the store; “tin
elder buys all her goods in that way.”
“But is it a regular business, selling
goads:”

“When I was a little boy my father
moved from Hoo.tctdom over upon a
broad and blooming prairie in Illinois,
•aid n man to a reporter of a t hn ugo pu
pcr. “That prairie, stretching ns fur aa
tluj oyo could rowli to tbo north uml
west, was ouo vast garden of flower* and
plants from April to November. 1 here
must have been a hundred varieties of
wild, blooming plants, ranging from the
lowly strawberry, with its white blossom,
U. tbo gaudy, flamboyant wild mangold,
wboee oriental splendors gave vivid color
to miles nod miles of undulating prairie.
“Hut this by the way. 1 started in to
•peak or the prairie dogs. The flowers
were scarcely more numerous than they.
You might ride for mile* along a path
flankuil on either side by their villages,
which wero seldom more than a few roils
apart. Those villages,always on somei lit
tle knoll or hill, were populous. The
horseman who approuened one of them
would see a sentinel gravely motionless
at the Floor of every burrow. One could
scarcely tell these sentries from bits of
wood, so still and straight were they, so
lunch a part of the gi'F'at, silent land*
sol>e. . ,
“But if ever there was a case of uow
you see it and now you don't,’ those little
sentinel prairie dogs offer the traveler a
striking example. He sees them there,
as silent nnd impressive as the sentries
of Pompeii, and wonders what they will
do when he gets closer. He keeps his
eye flxed on two or three of them, aud
uucouciously chocks bis horse, so that
the clatter of hoofs may not startle
them. Ho is within fifty, thirty, twenty
paces, when lo! the sentries are gone,
lie has not seen them go. The earth
has swallowed them. He rubs his eyes
and he rrdes on. wondering if it were
all an illusion. He looks baek te assure
himself, when lo! the sentries nro there
as still ami statuesque as before.
“One timo my father trapped four or
five of them. I*don’t know liow he man
aged it; I've forgotten that. I think
they must have been young and foolish,
like baby rats, which venture where
their pa aud ma would never go. My
father brought them home, and we chil
dren hugged ourselves iu delight as vze
fancied them ns pretty pets like squir
rels or w hite rabbits. A cage was quick
ly fitteFl up; the captives were placed in
it and surrounded by all the dainties
which we fancied could tempt them to
forget their captivity. Our parents kept
us away from the cage, as the little
strangers regarvled us with a terror
which tkey did not attempt to conceal.
But we went to place more food before
them the next morning. The food pre
viously provided had not been touched.
The little prisoners sat wearily on their
haunches in the ilark extremity of their
cell. Childish curiosity was repressed
till the Geeond morning, when the cage
was again visited. The captives sat in
tho same position, aud no morsel of the
varied bill of fare with which we had
designed to tempt them had been touch
ed. The water was undiminished in the
bowl. Another day passed, the third
morning came, and we ran out to see our
pets. The sight that met our eyes I
shall never forget. In their hunger and
despair the poor captives had eaten their
own feet The bloody stumps wero a
Bad and sickening reproof to our cruelty
in depriving the children of the prairie
of their wild, sweet liberty. We felt it,
children as we were, and silently, almost
in tears, we opened the prison door and
slipped away to give the captives oppor
tunity to eseapo. But it was too late.
With their little feet gnawed off up al
most to their little bodies, they could
scarcely more than drag themselves out
into the grass, where they soon after
died.”
Mackenzie’s Skill.
Among the members of the English
royal family the feeling, even stronger
than that of the grief at the Emperor
Frederick’s death,is gratitude to SirMor
ell Mackenzie, without whose skill the
queen’s eldest daughter woulil never have
been empress, but lived a royal pauper,
depending on her wealthy mother and
and the unreliable charity of the German
Reichtag. When Dr. Mackenzie goes
back to England there is no doubt that
he will be made a baronet, and it is even
believed that the custom which has hith
cro prevented any medical man from be
ing made a peer may bo abolished in his
favor. The amount winch Dr. Macken
zie received is payment at the rate of
SIOO,OOO a year ever since he took charge
of the case.
