oath, turned to confront the intruder.

In the course of a recent sermon on
reading at the Church Of the Messiah,
in New York, the assistant pastor, Rev.
Minot ]. Savage said:
Every man ought to read some
newspaper every day. I do not mean
by that that he should read all of the
newspapers. I see people who, after
they have paid one, two or three cents
for newspaper, seem to feel that in
order to make it an economical opera
ton, they must read the whole paper
through. There is no greater waste
of time. I would as soon sit down at
a hotel table and, because | was going
TO pay for my dinner, think | must eat
everything on the bill of fare. Two
thirds or nine of all in the paper
would be waste of time and strength
for you to read.
Yet here is the making of history go
ing on. the making of contemporary
humanity; the great questions of war
and peace, of government, of sociology,
of industry; matters of Importance on
every hand-and you need to keep in
touch with them, you need to know
what is going on.
And here, if ! may. let me suggest
one thing. I find as I look at the
world that most people take one news
paper, which they believe in, and read
that religiously and thoroughly, so
that YOU can almost tell what a mans
beliefs are if you know what news
paper he reads. where he fashions his
opinions of war, peace and everything
of the sort. -.
Now, It does not seem to me that THIS
is intelligent or fair. Have one paper
if you prefer-perhaps you cannot help
it-but read some other paper that
teaches Numerically opposed doc
trines Do not become bigot over
your newspaper, your party affiliations,
the great questions that are coming up
constantly for consideration. Hear
both sides.
l read. or try to. two papers every
day, and my evening paper contradicts
the morning one at almost every point.
There is great advantage in this--it
compels me to do little. thinking on
my own part and try to have opinions
which are not merely borrowed but
which are my own.
