The Man Of
the Pen
BY REV. WILLIAM RAIDER, !
Pastor Third Congregational Church.
San francisco.

Around him surge the tides of influence.
Journalism has the advantage over all other professions because
of a peculiar influence. Wendell Phillips made two remarks which
indicate this. He once said that the New York penny newspapers
governed the administration at Washington. Addressing a roaring
mob on one occasion he paused long enough to say to the reporters:
you may howl if you will, buf. through these pencils l speak to
forty millions of people" and the following morning the millions read
his words.
Napoleon Bonaparte said he feared four newspapers more than
100000 soldiers.
NEWSPAPERS MAKE AND UNMAKE MEN. They made
Henry Ward Beecher and d.. Talmage and put Chauncey Depew in
the American senate.
