The Rev. w. 3. Avery Pays a
High Tribute to the Power,
of the Press.
JOURNALS HAVE IMPROVED
They Now Give as Much Space to
News Of Religious Gatherings
as Political Conventions.
A Great Moral
Agency.

Rev. w. +. Avery, pastor of Harrison
Street M. E, Church, preached last
night on "The Duty of the Press to the
State and Nation" and during his SER
mon spoke of the press as one of the
three greatest agencies in the uplifting
OF morality. The sermon was an un-
usually interesting one and the duty Of
the press was plainly and elGquently
outlined Ey Rev. Avery.
He took his text from the 18th chapter
and 22nd vars4 of st. John, "Pilate
answered, what ! have written have
written"
Rev, Avery said. "There are three
great agencies in this country that do
more to uplift morality than any others.
They are the pulpit, press and public
school. The press breaches to NOR
people than the pulpit, because there are
great number of persons who never 90
to church but most every one reads the
newspapers The press can be one OF
the greatest teachers OF morality.
The press has advanced wonderfully
during the last fifteen years. 1t used to
give but little space to church news,
while now it gives as much space to
church conventions and gatherings as it
does to political meetings. Ii | would
start great reform aud go to the editors
Of the papers and if they said they would
stand by me ! would bring it through if
all hell tried to stop it,"
Rev. Avery thought the press should
be independent and stand up for what
is right and honorable. 81 want to say
that today in Baltimore, Md, my own
State, thev put nothing but the very best
men in office and the press stand by
them We ought to get good men to go
to the primaries, for We want good men
in office, A man ought to be as honest
and pure in politics as in religion"
He said that man in talking to him
once of cert ain politician said "That
in business he could be trusted, but
that he would steal brown stone front
in politics.
"The press ought to stand by it's State
at all times. If high official is found
guilty OF misdemeamor the press ought
TO condemn him.
Il believe the world is getting better
and every good thing that is put in the
papers makes it better. Newspaper men
should take the best view OF things and
not think the world is getting worse
for it is better now than it ever was
The press must help the pulpit and
make this world better, and think it is
doing it,
Rev. Avery was surprised several days
ago on noticing 80 much space taken up
by church news in one OF the Philadel-
phia papers. II saw by that how much
good the press is doing Tor morality and
God" He spoke of the good that George
w. Childs did as an editor and said he
would rather have been Childs than
king.
''Thoss who report for the press should
do IT in the best manner possible, for
YOU are not only doing it for the present
but also the future. You people of the
present would not be as patriotic if it
was not for the patriotism Of the past"
Rev. Avery concluded by saying that
those who represent the press should
write for morality, the pulpit and the
right.
