A preacher came at a newspaper
man in this way: You editors dc
not tell the truth. If you did you
could not live; your newspaper would
be a failure" The Editor replied
"You are right, and the minister who
will at all times and under all circum-
stances tell the whole truth about his
members, aliye or dead, will not oc
cupy his pulpit more than one Sun.
day, and then he will find it neces
sary to leave town in a hurry. The
press and the pulpit go hand in hand
with whitewash brushes and pleas
ant words magnifying little virtues
into big ones. The pulpit, the pen
and the gravestone are the great
saintmaking triumyirate. And the
great minister went away looking
very thoughtful, while the editor
turned to his work, and told of the
surprising beauty of the bride, while
in fact she was as homely as a mud
fence.
