Press and Pulpit.

/, At the regular weekly prayer meet
ing in the Third Baptist Church last
evening a number of prayers were of
fered up by members of Mr.. Lotions
congregation in behalf of the troubled
pastor, and the Rey. DR.. Ford. editor
of the Christian Repository, delivered
an affecting address, which turned up
on the annOyances of Job and was sup
posed to have direct bearing on the case
of the pastor. He took the ground that
we were nearing the millennium, and
that, very naturally, Satan was bestir-
ring himself In the land. He seemed
to be of the opinion that the devil had
taken peculiar charge of the press and
that he had great deal to do with the
recent publication concerning the Rev.
Mr.. Lotions railroad adventure. He
said that in twenty years the character
of the reportorial part of the press, both
in Europe and America, had been
changed; that it was now in the hands
of young men, possessed of more or less
culture, bold, INSCRIPTIONS, ambitious;
that interviewing was carried out on
different plan by young men who were
irresponsible, and it was not strange
that mockery should assail, not art and
science alone, but morality, too; affect
society, and strike at oil that was pure,
noble and sacred in private character.
1t seemed to be the opinion of the rev.
erend gentleman that the blame for
Mr.. Lotions trouble rested entirely
with the press, aud not with the wo-
man, the monte man or the rock and
rye. This is mistake that our church
friends are nearly always making. The
press may he very loose and licenti0us
in its way of dealing with human trans
actions, but it is the most magnificent
repressive moral agent in this world
to-tay. More crime, immortality and
rascality are prevented by the fear of
exposure in the newspapers than by all
the laws, moral and statute, ever de-
vised. There is no sin like being found
out, and it is the united testimony of
those who have dealings with the
courts that newspaper publications
have more terror for wrongdoers than !
the punitory laws. The deterring in-
of an active, alert press upon
the vicious or immoral classes is prOba-
bly, greater than church people imagine.
1t is, therefore, ,unrighteous fer ministers |
of the Gospel to make unrelenting war
on the press when a publication happens
to be made that does not agree with their
interests or their ideas of propriety.
In the case of DIR. Lotion it is not |
claimed that he was misrepresented. !
He certainly had very serious public
adventure. We feel most seriously and
sorry for him. No amount of
effort could prevent the de-
tails from reaching the public, and it
doubtless prevented gross eXaggeration
to have them served up in the form in
which they were presented by the news
papers. The press Of to-day may |

In MEMORIAM.

HALL MOSAIC LODGE, No. s51, A F. 4. NJ.
BELLEviEw, Mo April 2o.h, 1882
In the providence of God it has pleased Him
to take from labor on earth to the refresh
Hiel1t of the giories beyond, our well beloved
brother, Rev. BENJAMIN s. MCNAIL, who
departed this life on the 18th day of March,
A. ID. 1882, at Dexter City, Stoddard county,
Mo-, in the 9th year of his age. He was
buried at that place, on the 18th OF the same
month, by Bloomfield Lodge, No. 153, of A.
+. 4 A. Nj, with proper Masonic ceremonies.
The death of our venerable and venerated
brother Is no ordinary event to the church,
society in general, and to the Lodge of which
he was an honorcd member. And 1t is meet
and proper we, as Masons, should attest to
our high appreciation of him man and
Mason. Bro. McNail was a sacrificing Chris
tan and member and minister of the NJ. +.
Church, South, and devoted about 35 years
OF his best manhood to preaching the Gospel
OF Christ almost to the exclusion of any other
occupation. Bro. McNail was made Mason
in Tyro Lodge, No. II, on the 9th Of October,
A.. D. 1858; dimittcd from said Lodge, and
affiliated with Mosaic Lodge, No. 351, on the
21st of May, 1870, and held his membership
III the same until the time of his DEATH, For
the last several months past his friends had
seen, from the impaired condition Of his
nearly over; but until within short time of
his death he continued to go forward in the
discharge of his ministerial duties. But
Gods finger touched him, and he sleeps the
steep tnat VIII KNOW no Wake1ng until the
trump shall sound and the dead shall rise
again. But death had no terrors for him !;
he had fought good fight, looking to the
prize of his calling in Christ Jesus; he met
the end In calm comp0Sure, as only the good
can meet it; he has changed the troubles and
trials of this life for the rest and rewards of
the celestial life beyond with him..
Lies labOrs done
Serenely to his rest he passed.
While the soft memory of his virtues yet lin
gers like the twilight hours when the sun has
set.
Therefore, be 1t resolved
list. That in the death OF Bro. McNai, society has
lost good and use ful citizen; the church jealous
and consistent Christian; the Lodge true and
faithful member;
2d, That this Lodge tenders to his surviving wife
and family our sympathy in this their great ac ton
and bereavement, and commend them to God for
comfort and consultations;
Sd, That this Lodge wishes hereby to return
thanks to Bloomfield Lodge, No. 153. of A. and
A. M, for their kindness and courtesy in their
burial of Bro. McNail according to the ancient
sonic usage and custom;
