Editors should haze The pra4ers of AL Christians


Editors should haze the prayers 9fau Christians.
1t has been the custom for years past, for
Christians Of all denominations to make col
leges, religious institutions, benevolent soci-
ties, and likewise men, placed in responsible
situations. the subject of their special prayers.
This is as it should be. In the liturgy ofthe
excellent book OF common prayer, there is
a form of prayer designed particularly for
the President OF the United States, and all in
civil authority. But there is a class of men
who very much need the prayers of Chris
tians, but who have been. we fear, overlook
ed We mean editors of newspapers and
periodicals., whether political or religious.
They need them, because they are placed in
situations oil great responsibility. No kind OF
reading at the present day is more prevalent,
than newspaper reading. Hence, papers do
much towards giving a direction to public o.
piniOn; IN some cases they change entirely,
while in others they even create il. An ed
ltor needs the prayers of Christians, because
he is harrassed with perplexities and often
worn down with toll and care; he is embar-
raised by the complaints of some patrons for
the very things which Others reprobate. II
he strives he cannst please ai his patrons,
because they cherish the sentiments directly
at variance with each other. The same diff
Guilty arises il he endeavour to be independ.
cnt and expresses his own opinions. If he
be not possessed of great self-command, his
anxiety TO please, will grow into v~exation and
perplexity on account of the complaints OF
so,ae that hispaper is too liberal aid ofoih-
ers that it is too rigid: of some that it is too
grave, and of others that it is too srrightly.
in fine, the alleged causes of complaint are
too numerous to recapitulate.
How different the situation Of his readers!
With what pleasant anticipatisDs do they
grasp the sheet over which his head has ach,
ed, and his nerves have been shattered. Witt
what a relish do they consume the rich repas
furnished by his uuwearied, and oltentimes
thankless toll.
Editors should have the prayers Of Chris
tians, because, if rightly disposed, they car
do more towards extlrpating polite al 'wraths
%strifes, and backbitings,' and religious jeal
ousies, animosities, and envyings, than an,
other class of men.
