Suggestion for the Season.
Don’t object that your duties are so '
insignificant; they are to be reckoned
of infinite significance and alone im
portant to you. Were it but the more
perfect regulation of your apartments,
the sorting away of your clothes and
trinkets, the arranging of your papers
—“whatsoever thy hand flndeth to do,
do it with-all thy might,” and all thy
worth and constancy. Much more, if
your duties are of evidently higher,
wider scope; if you have brothers,
sisters, a father, a mother, weigh
earnestly what claim does lie upon
you on behalf of each, and consider It
as the one thing needful to pay them
more and more honestly and nobly
what you owe. What matter how
miserable one is if one can do that?
That is the sure and steady discon
nection and extinction of whatsoever
miseries one has in this world,—- i
Thomas Carlyle.
Duty and Obedience.
Every dutyl even the least duly,
involves thir whole principle of
obedience. And little duties make '
the will dutiful, that is, supple and
prompt to obey. Little obediences
lead into great. The dally round of
duty Is full of probation and of disci
pline; it trains the will, heart and
conscience. We need not be prophets
or apostles. The commonest life may
be full of perfection. The duties of
hqntv ar > a disol"Uo. for *hn minis
tries of heaven.—Cardinal H. E- Man
ning.

PUBLIC PRESS IN RELATION TO
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE
Reflects the Weaknesses of Society—A Better Type of Life -;
Makes Better Press.
I
Occasionally someone somewhere
criticises the public press, or in a
lecture cautions people about read
ing the papers, or ventures to state
what a paper should say and how
it should say it. There appear inter
vals of solicitude on the part of these
critics, and especially among re
formers, about the character and con
duct of newspapers. Frequently :
these observations are not really ]
legitimate criticism, but Ill-informed
conclusions or fault-flnding. Legiti
mate criticism is helpfui and takes
into account ail the conditions if
newspaper making, what constitutes
news, and the pertinency and im
portance of subjects for editorial
comment.
It is not always borne In mind
that newspapers reflect the weak
ness, the errors and conditions good
and bad of human society. Make a
better human society and newspapers
will receive greater Inspiration for
being better papers, for they will
reflect and report the change? for
the better. If newspapers all printed
what some people want printed and
what other people want omitted,
it is llkeiy there would he no news
papers, for the angles of view of
people vary greatly, and what some
want printed is precisely what others
want to have omitted or for whien
they have no relish. It la the human
interest element as it appears from
; day to day in Its kaleidoscopic
changes and the varying phases of
the mysterious and elusive in the
problems of life that make papers
readable,
Helpful to All Kinds.
Especially helpful to all kinds of I
benevolent work in a community, and
to the religious work of the churches, j
is the daily newspaper. Some years
ago the extent of this helpfulness j
was represented In a few formal no- i
tlces that many readers overlooked, j
But now the views of religious In- :
terest are given special consideration :
and churches are learning the value
of appropriate and dignified display i
advertisements that attract the eye ;
and the attention of the mind. With i
the growing independent character j
of newspapers generally has come a j
broadening of the scope and function i
of the modem dally’. In earlier his- i
tory of the press the newspaper was
largely a political organ and sharp, j
acrimonious charges and counter
charges, mixed with personalities,
were indulged.
But along with the march of demo
cratic ideas and ideals the press has
had to fight its way to freedom, as
has the church or the state. The
press has become a great safeguard
of liberty. Through it popular dis
cussion of the affairs of church ce
well of the state finds expression. If
soc’ety is on the decline the press
makes it known, and if there are
signs of progress the press reveals it.
There is probably no other institu
tion that is as watchful of en
croachments on public Interests and
so quick to sound the alarm. A news
paper helps In moral progress as a
deterrent of evil. Every’ citizen
knows that he must live circum
spectfnlly. He knows he has cer
tain Just relations to his fellow men,
and responsibilities as a man and
| citizen. It is not a particular credit
I that he lives righteously, for this is
for him his normal state, in which he
is expected to live as a man of intel
ligence and conscience. It is a die
light will be extinguished. The lodge
lost four members during the present
year. They were Leonard Phyliky,
Charles Thompson, George Gross and

t moral, or a committal of a on mo, J
i such acts are likely to be brought to ]l
the public light. j
! Any secret acheming against publie'l

", in etii forms are held in check by bei- 'j
j ter judgment induced by fear of **- J

type headlines.
The press takes account of life in j
its baldness, boldness and >adn«iiM,j
By exposing the evils, others who ;
may contemplate doing the same
I things are warned and may resolve 1
! on better deeds. The moral, civil, i
j social, philanthropic and religious or- ,
! ganizations are enabled to see and i
know the evils against which they#
are to wage war, where they are con-J
cent rated, how- organized snd under"J
what conditions they flourish. They
press becomes a bureau of informa*!
tlon. The criticism that the publiea*^
Uon of the evils of life gives a die- \
torted view of human society is a one
sided one, for surely a distorted viewy
would be given if the evils were not
I made known. Even the Bible disclose®
the sins of particular persons and |
peoples
The newspaper as a reporter of cur- j
rent events ie valuable to the stu- |

Day after day the world’s activities’

If There ft ere No Paper*.
The fact that more religious and ;
j h' -eanitarian interests find place ie
: daily papers indicate the extent to,
j which the o d distinction between '
secular and divine is giving way ’
The moral and religious forces of so
; ciety have in theory lteen kept to uc
j enclosure apart from the wnrk-a-dayy
‘ world. Religion is more and mere :
| being recognized as an essentia! com
ponent of human activities, in order
that these very activities shall have
the direction of divine purpose!!
; reformer need lose sleep over Wes
i errors and fau'ts of the press. He
; may read in his Bible the laws of
, moral and spiritual progress, but in
■ the newspapers he may discover the
daily record which revea'a in how
! far these laws of progress In human
! society are actually being obeyed amt
1 fulfilled. If there were no newspa
pers, or no church, the condition of
society might easily be Imagined.
The worid has not reached the mil
lennium and until It does there is
still work fer the newspaper and the
