The Press and it's influence was dis
cussed at the Unique Baptist church
last Sunday evening by their eloquent
pastor, Rev. J. w. Dungee. The meet
ing-house was crowded with attentive
listeners who evidently pro6ted by the
discourse. The Rev. took for his text,
Learn to do we'll. LIST Chap. and 10Th
verse of Isaiah, and began with scriptori-
al illustrations and quotations until, by
forcible argument, he applied his text
to the public Press. He defined the
Press as public educator and moulder
of public opinion. He said: Our Col
ored Press to us is, or should be in the
same degree what the public Press is to
the general public. 1t is growing and
keeping step with the times" He spoke
of the general Press-how it was sup
ported by the white people. saying the
facilities are given to the industrious.
He spoke of the late war; the Colored
race being turned out of slavery into a
world Of responsibilities without the
church organization or the public Press
to assist. He told the story of an old
preacher who would always thank the
Lord for not having "book larnin';;"
illustrating the general condition of our
race at that time. He showed how, by
the influence of our Press, and the zeal
GUS efforts of the puplic educators, we
have emerged from the dark ages of the
past. The growth of our Press, he said,
is steady, keeping pace with the times.
Some of its failures are due to the non
support of it's constituents, or people of
whom we expect cooperation and sup
port. This was due, he said, to them
having failed to learn how to do we'll.
Again, he said, the Press was moulder
of public opinion, and if the sentiments
of the Press are debased, then public
sentiments are, also. But if their senti-
ments are pious, truthful and elevating,
then public opinion is to the same de-
gree elevated and benefited. O, ."giye
US strong, pure, able Press.' "Thank
God for more strong and able editors y
he said, that they may go hand IN hama
with the pulpit of our land to higher
and better land. He spoke of the de-
based sentiments of the Southern Press,
of how the Colored people are murder
ed there, and the public minds are al
lowed to rest undisturbed.
| The Colored Press of the South is
wholly unable to cope with their sur.
rounding contingencies made by the de-
based condition of public sentiment. He
spoke of the good that the Colored Press
of South Carolina has done.
