Of the first religious paper published in
America. Il was called the Herald oi
Religious Liberty. and was established iu
1903.
The centenary attracted less attention
from the newspapers than il deserved
for during the last century the religious
press played a much greater part in
American life than the younger portion Of
the present generation realize, and dif-
ferent part from that which it plays to-
day.
The soil from which the religious papers
sprang was partizanship and sectarian-
