IMPORTANCE OF THE CHURCH
PAPER IN THE HOME.
(Published by request of the Minis
terial Association.)
“For as he thlnketh in his heart,
so is he.” Solomon.
The basis of all real success is
right knowledge applied to all things
temporal, moral, intellectual and spir
itual. A man’s whole course in the
world is shaped by his thinking, and
his thinking is largely the fruit of
what he reads or of what others • read
and relate to him. Solomon says:
“For as lie thinketh in his heart, so
is he.” A boy may read yellow
baclod literature, stories of bandits,
train-robbers and outlawry in general
and he is in danger ot becoming an
outlaw and landing in the penitentia
ry.
This same pricnpiel will apply to
all other kinds of reading, but with
right results, provided the reading
is of the right kind, viz: history,
science, biography, agriculture,
church history, and the Bible. Be
gin in time, anel we can make of the
average person almost anyhting that
we desire. The press largely shapes
the trend of most men; therefore we
should he doubly careful about the
reading of the young.
The church pap* r gives the fol
lowing to the interested reader: It
informs him along all lines of his
church’s werk, missions, benevolen
ces, church doctrines, deaths, mar
riages, conversions, establishment
of new churches, with all other pha
ses of the conquest of righteousness
through Jesus Christ.
Besides the above, there is the
Home Department which appeals to
young and old. It contains stories,
poetry, wit, humor, pathos, home
economics, and many other useful
features from time to time. Then
there is the teaching department,
the Sunday school lesson, Young Peo
pie’s Societies, Woman’s Missionary
work, temperance, with an occasion
al sermon. The first class church
paper is a real library within itself.
The church paper informs, but
it does more; it inspires to action
along right lines, it gives pleasure
and is a storehouse of spiritual food
to-those who hunger and thirst alter
righteousness. It is laden with those
things which are pure and helpful.
There is nothing to lead estray.
But it is said: "I can get so much
more reading matter for so much
less money. I can get a large semi
weekly for half and even less than
half what I have to pay for my
church paper. I can get a large daily
for just a little more than my church
paper costs. In these 1 get more
reading matter, and at the same
time, I get the Sunday school lesson,
reports cf religious meetings, great
sermons, reports of deaths, marri
ages, new churches, some teper
ance, besides fine editorials, local
state, national and international news
‘aifii all about the politics in home
and fofdgn lands. Why is this not
sufficient? Because you get nothing
definite about your own local work,
and nothing definite about your gen
eral work.
And with the daily newspaper we
admit info the family circle reports
cl hearly everything in the world
that is objectionable: murders, steal
ing, drunkenness, rape, lynchings,
divorce proceedings, reports of police
courts, together with every bad ad
vertisement that law will allow.
It is said that In a few years the
great dailies and other secular pa
pers will have departments for the
church news which will accommodate
all of the denominations. This can no
more take - the place of the family
church paper than the ordinary ser
vant £an fill the place of the true
loving wite and mother. The more
1 think on this phase of the subject,
the more I am convinced that the
secular journals can never take the*
place of the religious, no matter how
much they may pretend to don
sheep's clothing.
The only reason the church paper
is not in every Christian home is be
cause of the falacy concerning eccn*
omy. The church paper can’t be pro
duced as cheaply as the ordinary sec
ular paper because of reasons men
tioned above, and also because they
are gotten out on cheaper paper and
the mechanical execution is not at
all to be compared with the leading
church journals.
If every parent would consider the
following, no home would be without

Editor News, Winder, Ga.
Dear Brother: I always read with
interest and profit the columns of
the Winder News, because I was
born and raised within a few miles
of Winder.
In your last issue I read witli in
terest the article by Rev. W. H.
Faust entitled: “Important to Bap
tists.” In this article Bro. Faust
enumerates several things of which
every Baptist should feel proud. But
i tiiink among the several items men
tinned where he says that “The Con
stitution of the United States w r as
patterned aft*r a Baptist church in
operation is a mistaken idea, that
is if I am acquainted with the oper
ations of a Baptist church, and 1
think I am.
For a Baptist minister in order to
have authority to baptize a person,
in a community where they have no
organization, must first get an “arm
of a church” to receive a candidate
and give him permission to do the
baptizing. And yet this same min
ister had been previously ordainec
for the express purpose of preaching
the gospel and administering the or
dinances.
Gentle reader, in a spirit of broth
erly kindness, permit me to make
the contrast. Think of an officer of
the national government, when a
man comes to take the oath of alle
giance, and on furnishing proper evi
dence of his legal fitness to become
a citizen, summoning those by whom
he was elected and appointed to do
this business, to say by a popular
vote, or by the decision of a com
mittee whether he shall administer
the oath. But this is just what
this officer would have to do if the
“Constitution of the United States
“was patterned,” as Bro. Faust
claims, “after a Baptist church in op
eration.”

Citrolax. Sold everywhere. Advt.
the leading church paper of its de
nomination:
1. Its wealth of information.
2. Its inspiration to lofty ideals.
3. The pleasure it affords the
young by meeting the intellectual
and soul needs of both.
4. It keeps church members in
vital touch with all phases of the
church’s work.
5. It emphasizes missions which
is the chief business of the church.
6. It is a storehouse of spiritual
food for all classes.
7. It enlarges the vision of all
who carefully read its pages, and
Solomon says: “Where there is no
vision, the people perish.” “For
as he thinketh in his heart, so is
file.”
I would advise every pastor to try
to put his church paper in all the
homes of his members, and I would
advise every parent to subscribe for
his church paper at once.
