EDITORS TO BE TAUGHT

THE journalists opportunity is be-
Il You'd estimate. To him are given
the keys Of every study, the entry to
every family, the car OF every citizen
when at ease and in his most recep-
tive moods-powers OF approach and
persuasion beyond those Of any pastor
or father confessor. He is by no means
a prophet, but, reverently be it said,
lie is voice in the wilderness prepar.
ing the way. He is by no means a
priest, but his words carry wider and
farther and he breaches the gospel OF
humanity. He is not king, but he
nurtures and trains the king, and the
land is ruled by the public opinion he
evokes and shapes. II you value this
land the Lord has given US, if you
would have soul in this ma, velous
civilization and lifting power for
humanity, look we'll to the nurture
and training Of your Kingdom.
Whitelaw Reid in recent lecture to
the students Of Yale college.
Joseph Pulitzer, a wealthy New
York publisher, has just given two
million dollars to found a school of
joul nalism in that city. The object
OF the school will be to better equip
newspaper men to raise the standard,
power and prestige OF the press.
Every other line OF professional work
has had its schools and colleges but
this is the first one for the editorial
fraternity.
The cost OF reading matter put in
newspaper form has been SO reduced
and the capacity to read has been SO
generally diffused that newspapers
have become a necessary part OF life
in any civilized community. No viii
lage is without one and every city has
several OF them and their influence is
in proportion to the ability, integrity
and tact of the editor in charge.
In the newspaper field there has
been great waste OF effort and CAPT
tai by inexperienced men starting
newspapers with only temporary sue
cess not understanding the principal
ethics OF its control. A college will
put the entire profession upon high
er plane. Newspapers will be better
and carital invested in them will be
safer.

LEIPZIG, Feb. l9.-The Grensboten. a
weekly review. publishes a letter written
by Emperor William to Admiral Holman,
councillor Of the German Oriental Society,
in reference to the controversy which
has been actively aroused by the theories
of Prof. Delitzsch.
His Maj j,sty says he regrets that Prof.
Deltzsch made grave mistake in ap-
preaching the question Of Revelation in a
polemical spirit, more or less denying
Revelation, and even processing to be able
to trace 1t back to an historical and purely
human source.
The Emperor sets forth the following
conclusions that may be derived from
the controversy: First. believe in ono
only God second we men need form in
order to teach His existence, especially for
our children. and third, this form has hither-
to been the Old Testament in it's present
version This form will be positively and
substantially modified under the influence
Of research and inscriptions and excava-
tions. That does not matter.
Neither does it matter that much Of
the mbus of the chosen people will thereby
disappear The kernel and contents will
remain always the same God and His
works.

science, but the outpouring of the heart
