The arrangements for the celebration OF

morabe one in the local annals of Steelton.
1t is known that visiting societies will
positively be there from Harrisburg, Car

matter, and, in short, the merits and
faults of the daily newspapers are gener.
ally only intensified in the Sunday edi-
tions. Those that are bad on week days
are worse on Sunday, and those that are
ordinarily good are generally better in
this special edition. 1t will be necessary
for the Methodist ministerial association
to discriminate between the good and bad
newspapers, or between the departments
In them which contribute to legitimate
public information and public morals
and those which are pernicious, rather
than between the sunday and week day
editions.
One good brother, 50 To speak, gave
himself away" when he deplOred the
fact that reading the newspapers kept
his people home from church, and when
be frankly admitted that there were
nine copies of these papers taken by his
members TO one of the regular church
publications. This state of things may
illustrate one thing as well as another.
IL may argue superiority in the secular
newspaper to the pulpit and the demon
national organ certainly, too, many of
the gospel agencies lack the attractive.
ness which must be given to them If they
would successfully withdraw attention
even during the church hour from the
better class of sunday newspapers. \
single copy OF some Of these often has a
more instructive assortment Of reli.
gious news than the average mendicaut
church paper, and they often preach and
print better sermons than ii is the lot OF
the faithful church-goer to usually hear.
If it be true that London has no Sunday
newspapers, as one Of the Methodist dis.
putauts asserted, It is incumbent on him
to show that the average Sunday OBJ
servauce there is better than here we
suspect that he thinks not, as he stig-
matized the English metropolis as the
" Babylon OF modern times"
1t will certainly not be denied that
the sunday newspapers of to-day, which
are editions Of the regular dailieS, are u
vast Improvement, in every view to be
regarded by religious association, upon
the old sensational blackmailug and
obscene special Sunday publications
which they are supersediug, and the
Methodist preachers should be mindful
of this fact.
