THE PUPIL AND THE PRESS


Davenport Republican: Rev. j. We'd
dell, D. D., pastor of Calvary BaptisG
church, preached a sermon last Sun
day evening on the subject ''The Press
and the Pulpit" There was much IN
the discourse that all editors will sub
scribe to, but there were some conclu-
sions tnat were, to a certain extent,
contradictory and not in line with the
main thought of the able and eloquent
plea for unity between pulpit and
press. The speaker took the position
that preachers and newspapers occupy
the same ground in opposition to
wrong and in favor of right. In this
he was correct. The average newspa-
per speaks six days week to larger
audiences than any preacher in Iowa
speaks twice on Sunday. Its columns
contain not only much that is instruc-
tive and educative, but it is persist
ent advocate of good government, Off
cial honesty and exemplary morals.
Beyond adding to these change OF
heart, the minister of the gospel adds
no other propositions that are not
found daily in the columns of the
average modern newspaper. Newspa-
per editors see the two prominent sides
of life, When man does good deed
he seeks the newspaper to give it pub
licity, and when he does wrong he
asks the newspaper to say nothing
about it. 1t is little wonder that
newspaper writer's become suspicious
and critical. They see more sides to
life than men who occupy pulpits.
No one questions the thought of the
eloquent minister that the pulpit and
press should go hand in hand. One
is essential to the other for the good
of society and human morals. The
two should work in harmony. But If
the press is recognized as a ministerial
co-partner in the cause of righteous
ness weekday mornings it is difficult
go see why it cannot occupy the same
position on the Sabbath day. in a
moral way. for moral people to read,
that it does week days. A Sunday
morning daily is just as good Sunday
morning as 1t is during other days OF
the week. II the press is a moral
force one day it is certainly so every
other day.
The speaker claimed that more space
was given to sporting matters than to
church matters. This is not the fault
of newspapers. News is published as
it comes, and newspaper constituency
is made up of all classes of people.
They combine to give it support that
guarantees its existence. The fault is
largely due to the church people them
selves that more church news does not
appear in the newspapers. The press
will gladly publish all church news
when the same is furnished as other
news is to the newspapers. The Sun
day newspaper and the pulpit go hand
in hand, and the eminent speaker
seems to have got hold of the wrong
conclusion. Otherwise his sermon was
logical and eloquent.

Mr. Cahill has not filed anything for
the quarter ended September Both last
or since that time. Marriages and
births were secured from the city office
by an assistant in MIR. Clark's office,
but the deaths have not been obtained.
Mr. Clark says that Joseph Wiggles-
worth. who preceded Mr.. Canill, was
mover later than the third of the ensu

corder of deeds AYERS that he and his
deputy have been 10 the city health
Office a dozen or more times and have
not scum Mr. Cahill, aud have been I'M

The evil in the delay lies Ia this, that
there are numerous applications to the

needed IN legal applications or other
wise. and recently he has been unable
to supply certificates in the period men
