Rev. Sheldon's Failure.

Rev. Sheldon's exploit with the
Topeka Capital for the past week, in
which he affected to teach the unre-
generate the way in which the
aMan of Sorrows" would run daily
newspaper, has lamentably failed
from fan ethical, mechanical and
practical standpoint While claim
ing to exclude what he was pleased
TO call sensational news from the pa
per. be was the most sensational
figure of the time, and it now turns
out that his experiment with the
Topeka Capital was but an adver
tisement for his contemplated visit
to England, and incidentally tour
through this country, during which
he is to organize Sheldon Bands to
apply the teachings of Christ to the
life of every day In this scheme he
is to be backed, Or to employ a more
modern term, financed by a wealthy
widow of Topeka.
The modern newspaper of stand
ing in it's humble way does as much
for Christianity as is compatible
with its scope and space. 1t is al
ways on the side of morality and
righteous living; it gives columns
and columns OF sermons in the course
of year that reach the eyes, if not
the ears, Of larger congregations than
preachers ever administer to, and is
also somewhat evangelistic in its pc.
culiar field, but to run it and edit il
on the plans of Rev Sheldon it would
lose it's c!ientage and be robbed of
it's power to do good. The church s
aim is to reach sinners. The Sa-
viour OF mankind has said: 81 come
not to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance. How then, could
Rev. Sheldon hope to reach sinners
through a newspaper by inhicting
such publication upon the people
as he produced last week?

papers, but with the church to day,
with its distinctions af class and it's
