TELLING THE TRUTH PAYS.
Money Made by Honest Anyertisins

Truthful always the advertising be-
ing done by the Adam Forepaugh
Shows for this year, 1882, would severe
ly test the confidence of the readers and
beholders but this year they are adver-
tised that they Will exhibit so much
more than they vel did before; that
they are so much larger, grander and
batter than not only they but all other
shows have ever been, that the shows
are depending upon their always here
tof0re unaSSailable reputation for ver-
acity aud honesty, to make the public
believe what they say and patIoniZe the
the shows m such numbers as to make
them 50 much money that the prOprie-
trT need not cart what people may
think of him in the future. Fortunately
newspaper Exchanges place editors in
close touch with all other sections of
the country, and Though them they
/ can lean exactly the character of any
travelling r"ncein, 50 that there is no
necessity for the public TO remain in
ignorance or be deceived in this pow
er Of The press to enlighten them upon
any and all subjects. The Adam Fore
paugh Shows die most fayOrably re-
ported by the press wherever they have
appeared tins Iar this season. These
press r,palts invariably stale that the
Shows a;r ne ually larger. grand, + and

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-02-06

The declaration of James Spurgeon
ligious denomination will be invited to
attend the funeral of his brother the late
Charles III. Spurgeon-he repudiated the
reverend always-no Unitarians will
be asked is the more to be regretted that
so narrow a decision will forever be asso-
ciated with the great preachers memory
and will be an undeserved blot upon his
fame.
Spurgeon was far more liberal in prac-
tice than in theory, and in theory he was
too broad man to approve his brother's s
bigotry. He was a Calvinist, but his
mind was able to conceive the possibility
that Calvinism might be wrong and
Arminianism right. To him " the whole
body of true believers in every age and
place." which, according to John Wes-
ley's catechism, constitutes the visible
and Catholic church Of Christ" held
many whose views on baptism and fore
ordination and even weightier things
differed widely from his own.
For Spurgeon was pre-eminently practi-
cal. He was much in earnest about the
conversion of the world and held ont a
cordial hand of welcome to all co-opera-
ton by righteous means. He took the
message of the herald angels, Peace
on earth, to men good WILL" as embody-
ing the Christian philosophy of love to
God and love to man. 1t is libel on
such mans memory for his i'll advised
brother to take the stand he is reported
TO have taken.
