"The Duty Of Publicity"

The newspaper bears the same rela-
ton to religion which 1t has to all social
asencies-the duty Of publicity. If this
duty Is fully discharged the church is
not only set in fnll light before the COM
munify. but those in the church and its
officers are preserved. through publicity
from temptation. for publicity is the
savior OF society from its worst self. The
normal working of every beneficent So
c1al agency is accepted by society, and
rightly. without comment or action 1t Is
the family which does not sent its chill
dren to the school which is visited by the
truancy agent and the house which is
afflicted with contagious Diseases on which
the sanitary forces of society concentrate
publicity through yellow label on the
door post, modern protection, less Of
those who are within than Of those who
out that are the chief charge Of democ-
racy. So the newspaper In the moral
sanitation Of society has duty constant
ly misunderstood to do it's share Of max
ing public the evils from which society
may suffer.
1.-The church itself ought. on its side,
to make plain the good which 1t does.
Every theater has its press agent. Every
corporation has today its agency for
reaching the public. The beneficent
preaching, it's utterances on social ques-
tons and it's constant effort to care, not
only for those who are of Its fold, but
those who are not, ought to be discharg-
ed by every denomination in every city
by press agent who is Informed, who
is active and who supplies to every news
paper and every agency OF publicity the
normal working OF the body which he
represents. Were this done systematically
the newspaper would not have the errors
which naturally come from the work of
laymen writing about religious affairs.
and the church would find its whole
work widened and made more powerful"
