REV. HERBERT YOUTH breaches
ON THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.

AT the Plymouth Congregational
church last evening, Rev. Herbert
Youtz discoursed on "The Sunday
Newspaper" In the course of his re-
marks he denounced the Sunday news
paper as potent influence in secula-
rizing the Christian Sabbath. He said
in substance:
The Sunday newspaper is a typical
problem. There is nothing bad In a
Sunday newspaper; it is educative and
instructive, is the general plea.
Acknowledging the prominent and hon
orable place held by well-edited news
paper among the agents Of civilization,
still believe with all my heart that
the Sunday newspaper is only an abom-
ination TO the spiritual life of Christen-
dom. Not because il is impure; not be-
cause IL is sensational: not ably edited;
but because in an insidious way il
usurps the time and the place which
God asks for Ii deadens your appetite
for holy things. 1t secularizes the one
day which is TO minister TO the spirit
ual. 1t saturates you with an anti
dote to all spiritual impulses. 1t has
became an American Bible TO such an
extent that newspaper ideals of char
acter are supplanting the great pro-
phetic ideals of rugged grandeur.
What has been said is no attack on
the character of the Sunday newspaper:
it's moral tone may not be low. 1t is
no attack on the editor. / give him
credit for being a very shrewd man.
engaged in a commercial enterprise
seven days of the week: he shows that
he is the master of the art OF money
getting.
"A man who steals. who murders.
breaks commandment a man engag-
ing in a newspaper enterprise which
secularizes the Sabbath also breaks a
commandment as truly as he does the
thief or the murderer. You condemn
the one: pay tribute TO the other Don't
condemn the editor or his paper; he
gives you what you want. But the
Sabbath was instituted to minister To
your life in such a way as to make you
like God"
