A CERTAIN class of church people have been trying for some time to raise rumpus against the publication of Sunday newspapers, with as little chance of success as as they would have ia trying to kill Ca grizzly" with 8 pop gun. Clersymen are probably opposed to Sunday morning papers because, reading them proves more at,activc, to a large number of peo- pie, than going ,o church to listen to prosy sermon. But one preacher has been found who says that he al ways reads the newspapers on Sunday morning before going to service, be- cause he wants to know what God has been doing for His creatures during the previous twen,y-iour hours.

Why do boys smoke, drink, and swear? Is it from my particular craving they have for b1d habits? Certainly not. It is from a false idea that it makes them look like men.
