Kimball enterprise. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1883, 1883-06-15

The Sunday sermons Of the celebra-
Ted London preacher, the Rev. Mr..
Spurgeon, are telegraphed to two or
three American papers and appear in
their issues Of Monday. They clubbed
together on the expenses and crow lus-
tily over what is termed unparalleled
enterprise" II the natter was worth
the money it would be SO regarded bv
the reader, but it is not, and after the
novelty OF reading on Monday morning
a London sermon of Sunday has worn
of, people will have no more desire to
read the sermons of Spur
geon than those q Beecher or any other
noted preacher. The telegraph is not a
new invention, wonderful although it
may be, and matter other than i'm
portant news, is not made especially in
eresting or valuable because it is tel
egraphed. But it is a popularity of some
juvenile journalists to attach great i'm
portance to all sorts of stuff that is placed
On the wires for transmission, and imag-
inc that the public believe some subtle
agency transmutes the veriest trash on
the wires into something worthy the
pens of "men and angels" But the av-
erage reader kAows better.
