PRAISE FOR PRESS OF TODAY
English Lecturer Points Out How It
Is Superior to That Of the
Past,

Upon the news side there was no
question whatever of the infinite supe-
riority Of the new journalism. It was
more alert, more efficient, it had to be
swifter, and he thought Lord North.
cliffe would agreed that If tested it
would be found to be more accurate.
He denied the accusation Of sensation
alism, and said that the press, If 1t
were to be profitable to them, must be
a mirror, and If it were a clear mirror
it must reflect the whole of modern
life in it's range. Sensationalism was
compressed and avoided. For every
sensation perpetrated by the modern
press. for every mischief it could be
accused Of causing, for every incite-
ment to bad blood between nations,
they had twenty occasions in which
every journal of =epute had avoided,
ct the sacrifice of sensationalism, the
things which might have led to those
results. In the new journalism, with
out any sacrifice o. its incompatible
news efficiency, the last few years had
shown most remarkable charge and

places. Mary especially was dearly be-
loved by him. She had "sat at Jesus
feet, and heard his Words" and it
seems that even Jesus Himself thought
that she understood the full meaning
of his teachings. So when Lazarus
was sick his sisters sent word to
Jesus, saying, Lord behold, he whom
thou lowest is SICK But when Jesus
heard this "he abode two days still in
the same place where he was" Then
he said to his disciples, "Our friend
Lazarus sleepeth; but go that may
wake him out Of Sleep" Then said
his disciples, Lord, il he sleepeth he
shall do WE'LL" Howbeit Jesus spake
of his death; but they thought that he
had spoken of taking of rest in sleep
Then said Jesus unto them plainly,
Lazarus is dead. And l am glad for
your sakes that was not there, to the
intent We may believe; nevertheless,
let US go unto him."

MAKING FRIENDS WITH BIRDS
Many Ways by Which Good Relations
With the songsters May Be
Established.

Some birds are on quite intimate
terms with the children Of men"
None are more 80, perhaps, than the
wee nutbrown wrens. No birds are
more interesting, or may be more cas-

need only the encouragement Of the
right kind OF nesting boxes to take up
their abode almost at ones very door.
For some years a pair of these birds

box tied to one of the pillars Of my
porch. Regardless of the fact that
this porch is a ver1table outdoor liv.
ing-room from which some of the fam
lily are seldom absent, the birds have
carried on their housekeeping and fed
their wee babies entirely unmindful
OF us.
The secret Of success In Turing
wrens is that the hole IN the box pro.
vided is small enough. The outline
of a twenty-five cent piece is just the
right size. Bluebirds, martens, and
sparrows also, nest in houses provided
for their use: but such boxes must be
placed some distance from the home
If they are occupied, as these birds
are more timid.
The fascinating little hummins
birds are easily won by growing GER
tain flowers to their liking The long:
throated blossoms, such As foxglove,
lobelxa (cardinals), honeysuckle, pc.
tunia and phylox, secrete the partic
ular brand of honey evidently the
most pleasurable to these dainty
birds; and wherever such flowers
bloom, humming birds are sure to be
frequent visitors. Massed shrubbery
will tempt catbirds and thrushes to
hide their nests among the leafy
shade.
Peanuts, knotaed along a string
that is also tightly secured, will in
evitably bring nuthatches and other
of the tiny tree tappers. No trapeze
performance could be moro daring
than the feats accomplished by these
birds when they are at work extract

rived at Lazarus home and Mary met
him, "she fell down at his feet, saying
unto him, Lord, II thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died. :"
When Jesus therefore saw her weep
ing, and the Jews also weeping which
came with her, he groaned IN spirit
and was troubled, and said, Where
have We laid him?' They said unto
him, Lord, come and see.' 49,.
"Jesus wept."
He had thought that. Mary surely
would understand what he meant
when he said that Lazarus sleepeth."
That she would understand that Laza

power over him. He wept because he
saw that even Mary did not yet under

Jesus then showed by his own resur:

his statement that whatsoever liveth

AS the stone was rolled away from

hope, faith and knowledge of the Eter'

hearts Of men. The veil of the tenn,

is turning from darkness to
light. No matter what belief
anyone may have, his life has been at
fected in some way by the accounts
given by Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John of the Crucif1xion: the placing in
the tomb of the body of Jesus and his
appearance after a period OF seeming
death. The clear belief of the dis
ciples, their teachings and reported
healings: even the contentious, strife
and darkness, which lasted for a time,
and then the steady advance of the
light of Christianity down the centur-
ries, has led to study and thought and
achievements which have advanced
the civilization of the world. Jesus
as it was the resurrection of the dis
ciples, who. after his appearing, knew
the things which before they had ia
ken on faith. The worlds resurrec-
ton is going on. Christianity, with
the resurrection as its most vital point.
has been the motive power that has
swayed empires.
Its study has been the means of ad-
Vancing the education of the world.
Thoughts inspired by it are expressed
in art, music, literature; and thoughts
inspired by it have opened mems
minds to inventions that have revolu-
tionized mortal life. The worlds resur-
rection Is going on! It has opened
the darkest continents to commerce;
has been the cause Of the discovery OF
new countries; and is lifting the whole
world to a higher understanding and
appreciation Of life-from material
sense to the highest spiritual sense.
Each year with the recurrence OF
Easter men are outgrowing the grave
more and more and are understanding
more fully the great truth embodied
in Christ's promise that whatsoever
liveth and believeth in me shall never
die" Jesus had challenged the mortal
claim Of death three times before he
proved conclusively the spiritual su-
premacy Of life by his resurrection
from what seemed to be death. First,
at the gates of the city Of Main, when
the son of widow was being carried
out on bier, ne said TO him: young
man, say unto thee, arise;" and he
whom they thought was dead sat up,
and began to speak"
Then when "all were weeping and
bewailing' over the death of the
twelve-year-old daughter OF Jairus. a
ruler of the synagogue. Jesus said unto
them, "'Weep not; for she is not dead,
but sleepeth.' and they laughed him
to scorn." But he took her by the
hand; told her to arise; and 'shc rose
up Immediately"
Finally, he called Lazarus from the
tomb four days after he had been laid
away there as dead. Lazarus and his
sisters, Martha and Mary, were very
dear friends of Jesus. He often Wis

Religion No Longer Terrible.

1t is a glorious thing to remember
that men are turning more and more
to god and to religion because a more
humane theology has stripped both
God and religion of their former ter
rors. From a myriad of Christian pull
pits the nobler message will go forth
that Jesus died and rose again, not to
reconcile an angry God to his wander
ing children. but to reconcile and draw

Sinai and the avenging wrath the the
ology of today is turning to the gospel
of the prodigal son, the woman taken
in adultery. the lost sheep, the Sermon
on the Mount. How passing strange
that the Redeemer who was all gentle
ness and forgiveness should have been
made into a monster OF tyrannous
bigotry from which men and women
and children have shrunk in terror for
1000 years!
