dicatcd upon an editorial appealing in the Journal Miner in its ussue of
 June 2. The rcverened gentleman spoke in part as follows
 Should in my preaching to you use terms as strong as those of the editor of the Journal Miner in this editorial. I dare say some of you at least would criticisc me and say that l had forgotten my message of love and the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ as it is given to the preacher ,o teach. But l must say it IS very refreshing indeed in these days of wishy. washy preaching and less re- spcctablc theology 10 have the edit. CTS of the secular press join with orthodoxy upon the vital questions of Gods word. Possibly you have recently been reading the editorials of the Journal Miner. l do not re- fer or recommend them to you to- night because l nave any underlying motive in doing SO. but I recommend them to you for their real worth. For th, last three weeks l can say that every editorial in the Journal Miner has been we'll worth your time and reading. Especially timely was the editorial upon the subject of the graduation dresses for our girls. and the many other subjects which have come ID right along from time to time. and heartily endorse these editorials. and am glad that OUT daily paper has taken up the task in its editorial columns of giving an homes. message to i's readers m
 Prescott. |" am glad, furthermore
 that there is bond of sympath,
 and unity between the Old Bool
 and the secular press of the day
 And [ want to say of this cdi,oria
 here, ! heartily approve pf it's doc
 trines and it's teachings, and of tb,
 man who wrote if. l know no whom he may be, but he knows be
 yond question something of th'
 word of God and something of hu
 mani,y, two things quite necessar! before we attempt to make state
 menis along this line.
