daily paper,' declared REV. Bailey.
"He has everybody to please.
The public criticizes his paper and
points out its weak points and ev-
erybody has his private cure for the
Ill. The motto in the business world
today is 'Give the people what they
WANT and many of our editors
have fallen in with the sentiment
If the press is only to be a
mirror to reflect the thoughts and
Ills of the people then 1t is no
longer factor for good. There is
great deal of difference between
need and want" declared the
minister.
"1n my Judgment said Rev.
Bailey. "If the reporter would only
allow the convictions Of his con.
science to dictate when he Is deal
ing with the news, he would be
success. For my part | do not care
to read any man IS writings who has
not mind of his own. The weak
ness OF a man will be disclosed
quicker through writing than any
other way.
! sThere is no doubt but what the
majority OF our reporters and edi-
tors today are conscientious and
loyal and are laboring for the
good of the people and country at
large. And we owe to every one
Of them a word of commendation.
They are deserving OF being lauded
and word of encouragement is de-
serving at any time'.
In conclusion the pastor declar-
ed that every family should take
a daily paper. 1t is the greatest edu-
catlonal factor that you have in
your home. Tie also recommended
that a. good magazine should come
into tho library OF every home.
u The minister closed his eloquent
address by making strong appeal
for religion in the home.
