Of the Episcopal church will heed the
advice Of Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead

ing of newspapers during Lent. II
would advise YOU all 20 do without the
newspapers during the Lcnten season."
Bishop Whitehead is quoted as telling
a New York congregation last Sunday,
and replace their scandals aud masses
Of in.assortcd information with more
cdifying works" Not only has this
speech stirred up considerable resent.
ment among the members Of tho church,
but the ministers also are opsn In their
criticism.
The Rev. A. W. Arundel, rector Of
Trinity church Of Pittsburg, told his
congregation: 81 certainly would not
advise my Pensioners not to read the
newspapers during Lent. Reading
newspapers is like eating; we cannot
do without either. | believe such ad'
vice would be ridiculous" Another
Episcopal rector of the same city
said: at = all rot. can't believe
the bishop said IL. | nm sure the
Episcopal %clergymer Of this city would
not hold such an opinion" And it i.
reas nably certain that Bishop White
head is alone in his structures Of N,
newspapers. His reference TO scandal,
and ill.assorted information create
the suspicion that he has had the mis-
fortune to get hold of some ~ How
sensational sheet and is basing his opin
ION Of all newspapers, including III,
reputable and worthy journals Of tn,
country, upon this suspicion.
