THE Del Norte Prospector prints
the following statement from the
Review OF Reviews, one of the high
est authorities i'll such matters in
the United States:
Each copy is read not only by
the FIVE people usually credited to
the ordinary family, but by twice
or thrice that number in many in
stances, for many subscribers pass
their paper on and OH to the in
mates Of less fortunate homes. The
publications; are pre-emincntly the
home papers of ncwspaperdom.
They are not. specifically scanned
while men travel to business and
left for brakemen' to gather up.
They go directly into the homes,
and the reading Of them is a duty
as well ns a pleasure. Hence their
peculiar value to advertisers and
their value as molders Of public

Matthew because he pte.etninently
brings out the human character OF Jc-
gus. He Is supposed to have written ln
Jliden. and primarily for Jews. His
guiding thought Is. Christianity the full
nllment OF Judaism. HIS Characteristic
aentence is. hat the saying might be
ltultilled.n Thus Matthew contributes an
important part 10 that sacred stere-
oscope which gives us q record OF our
Savior, not In rs bare surface, but In It's
living solidlty." Modesty Is a pleasing
trait In Matthew'st character. He With

would magnifv the grace OF the Master
who had called him from 90 base q
station. Again, Matthew modestly says,
Jesus sat at meat In the house, We
would not know. except from Mark and
Luke. that this was q great feast which
Matthew gave In honor OF Jesus In his
own house. Thus he "kept himself In
the background. and shows himself q
pure historian, absorbed In the subllm-
ity OF his subject" Again, this being
an argumentative narrative, the writer
does not hold himself rigIdly TO a chron-
illogical order, but. clusters events and
teachings In a cumulative manner. !.
