Her Secret.

One day pastor was calling upon
a dear old lady. one of the pillars
OF the church to which they both be-
!onged. As he thought of her long
and useful lie, and looked upon her
sweet, placid countenance bearing but
fcw tokens Of her nincty-two years Of
earthly pilgrimage. he was moved to
ask her. My dear Mrs. S, what
has been the chief source of your
strength and suStenance during all
these years? What has appealed to
YOU as the basis of your unusual vigor
Of mind and body, and has been to
you an unfailing comfort through JOY
and sorrow? Tell me, that | may
pass the secret on to others, and, if
possible profit by it myself.
The old lady thought moment,
then lifting her eyes, dim with age,
yet kindiing with sweet memories of
the past, answered briefly, Wet

The people who turn up their hcav-

ism" these days are, the first ones
who want to grab it from the carrier.
as a rule. The first function of the
press is to chronicle passing events.
The fuller its record the trucr it is
to its appointed function. Some
body has said that the press of to-
day has taken the place Of the old
mongers of gossip. This statement
is an eXaggeration. But at the root
of gossip lies interest in our fellow
man. Without knowledge Of what
our neighbor does. without interest
in what other people experience, our
own humanity shrivcls up. Sympa
thy is the prime condition of genu-
inely human existence. The press,
forcing through the bastions of our
selfishness, enlarges our horizon, and
| thus multiplieS our humaniticS. OBJ
jections have been made that in its
zeal to chronicle abundantly the hap
penings of the day, or the week. as
the case might be, the doings of men
and their sayings. the press fails to
distinguish sufficiently between the
vital and the trivial, and is apt to
efface the lines marking off the good
and noble from the wicked and de-
graded 1t cannot be denied that
modern journalism has had a tend
ency to invade the sphere of private
life with too great an unconcern.
Yet, even so, it has not flagrantly
violated the fundamental justiiica-
tions of its own appointment. Prom
inence entails compensatory sacri-
fees, and newspaper conducted by
sensible minds will never pry into
affairs that are not legitimately the
concerns of the public. Bear in
mind the public is complex entity.
The newspaper must chronicle for
all. 1t is impossible to edit news
paper for one class alone. IL we
would remember this, much of our
criticism would die before birth.
But what about the registration of
crime, vice and brutality? some
people will say: Well, if this be
true that the newspaper is bound to
chronicle happenings and TO mirror
life as it is, the darker phases Of hu-
man doing, and sutferings cannot be
suppressed. They are a chapter Of
the day or week history. Their neg
lcct would falsify the register. OBJ
lection might lie against undue
emphasis. But with few exception.
in the columns OF sclf-rcspcctinE
newspapers, the attempt is clearly
to tone down rather than to acccntu-
ate too strongly the seamy sides of
life. Publicity is the corrective Of
many evils. We accuse our own
selves by indicting our newspapers
If they are so far beneath our moral
', insistences why do we support them ?
