THE NEWS is in receipt daily of congrat-
ulations and compliments on its work
during the season of Moody meetings. As
already pointed out in its columns, it re-
CARDS its "Moody Record Page" as simply
matter of good and proper newspaper
work, the reporting as full as may be
a matter that is of contemporaneous in
terest to thousands of persons, by no
means confined TO the thousands who at
tend the meetings either. A kindly cor
respondent quoted below, points this out
very aptly.
There should be nothing remarkable
about this enterprise on the part of THE
News. The only thing remarkable is that
none ofthe other papers discovered
this important newspaper feature
which they were neglecting be
fore The NEWS took hold of it.
And when any important local event
is on THE NEWS proposes to be found first
in the field. That is its policy and already il
has its trolley on, an ever increasing
circulation among the homes and families,
among business men, and among the So
called ''classes" and the so called "masses"
generally, who are finding out that it is
a pretty good newspaper for cent.
Here are a few from many remarks about
THE NEWS Moody page:
Moody and Sankey I'm Providence.
[From The congregatlonalistl
The Moody meetings. begun two weeks ago
in Providence. are deepening I'm interest and
power. Music Hall. the largest place avail
able, is daily filled To IFS utmost capacity.
Mr.. Moody addresses two meetings every day
In the week, Saturday excepted, and is ad-
mirably sustained by the large chorus choir
under the leadership of Mr.. Jacobs. Mr.. SAN
key continues To render eminent service In
singing the gospel simply and powerfully.
The local press generally has courteously no.
ticed the movement, while THE News pub
fishes "a special Moody edition." containing
in full the weeks record of the work.
An Appreciative and Intelligent View.

Journalism of this city. do not know what

city OF Providence and the surrounding towns
that they should have newspaper that will
faithfully and impartially report events,
proceedings. religious meeting, and even
sermons that are calculated to elevate the
moral and religious standing of the community
There is n certain implied, well understood,
but not clearly defined right, which the peo-
pie Of any given town or city has to have re-
ported, In astraghtforward and unpreiudiCed
manner. that which Is going on within its
borders as well as in the surrounding country
That the city and state has suffered because
IL has been deprived OF this y iyilege a large
pI pIoporton of its citizens will unhesitatingy
admit, Because your paper correctly
chronicle what is said in public assembly
