and him crucified" The story Of
Christ still appeals to the hearts OF
men, still moves their wills, still in
huences their conduct.
Jesus is more surely alive today
than ever He was before in the world.
We are beginning to find a new
Christ-the Christ with a social mes
sage, as well as an individual mes
cage. Gradually the emphasis in re-
1fgion has been taken on individual
salvation and put upon social saliva
tfor. A thousand social texts now
are revealing in Jesus the social agi-
tator-the heart-broken Jew who cried
out against the oppression OF Rome
Gnd the sham government OF the
Pharisees.
stirring the world today with a mes
Of fellowship, is greater than our ages
conception of Him. He has been
greater than the conception any age
has had of Him.
The era which Is coming in with the
new century all over the world is es-
sentially an era of brotherhood. Re-
ligfon is trusting more and more to
the individual conscience, less and
less to creed and church and author
ity. Life is franker, more wholesome,
kindl'er than It ever was before.
All our civilization is permeated with
Institutions that show we are begin
ming to feel responsibility for our
weaker brothers weaknesses, and
their sore needs and grievances.
Through all civilization the voice OF
Christ Is speaking. He has indeed
risen. He is crucified wherever there
10 cruelty. wherever there is injustice,
wherever there is q callous heart in
the presence of suffering.
In a million hearts as the truth OF
Christ's message is born by educa-
ton and clean environment, into the
world in this new age comes the new
resurrection and the more abundant
life. Whatever of good the age is the
good of Christ's living spirit. There
IL nothing else worth while.

mean there is no room for improve
ment. A newspaper is not exclusive
~ public utility. Incidentally it Is
q business institution, with business
problems to solve, with financial OBJ
legations and payrolls to meet.
Thousands of dollars in objection
able advertisements are refused
every year by the Kansas press. No
business man or politician can buy an
editorial opinion in a reputable Kan
sas newspaper Free use of the col
umns Of the press is freely granted
to churches and other community in
terests.
We f1nd she press today occupying
higher ground, not only in its stan
dards Of policy, but also in its service
to the community. But there are
many more rounds in the ladder of
service yet to be climbed.
What the editor thinks one day ap-
pears the next day In print for the
approval or disapproval of his critical
readers. The average Kansas editor
speaks each week to an audience Of
5000 persons.
We hear a great deal in this age
about giving the people what they
want" 1t is palpably an erroneous
idea.
To do this would be to let momen'
tary thoughts prevail: to let tempo
Yary passions run riot; to cater to the
lowest rather than the highest ideals
I'm life.
There are certain principles OF
right, for which both press and pulpit
must take q determined stand II they
live up to their fullest opportunities
- duties.

may properly accept patronage OF q
questionable sort nor that its influence
in the community is properly an arti-
Gle of barter, but It states a distinc-
ton that is factor in the discussion.
So it must first be understood that
the newspapers responsibility as q
teacher and promoter Of religious
faith is less direct than that of the
pulpit
1t is only in recent years and in GER
tain localities that the newspaper con-
science has been quickened to a sense
Of its responsibility In promoting the
use of liquor by the sale Of its space
to liquor dealers.
Now 1t can never become the news
papers business primarily to preach
the Gospel While it may in a meas
ure educate its constituents to taste
for less Objectionable news. it rests
primarily with the pulpit to do that, or
at least to lead in the effort.
Through the medium Of this Gospel
the pulpit, supported by q quickened
press, may some day make 1t possible
Tor newspapers to practice = more
drastic censorship. Every publisher
of an average daily paper will doubt
less confess to the admission to MS
columns Of news matter that he per-
sonally would prefer to exclude. It IL
q problem with him to what limits he
may safely go in excluding what the
public regards as news. Possibly the
efforts of the pulpit to bring the press
up to the pulpit's ideal Of perfection
would be more readily accomplished
through an appreciation by the pulpit
Of the perplexing problems OF the
press, and by cooperation. rather
than by extravagent condemnation

tyrann1zes over those It can't con-
vince.
The pulpit does not burn the un-
believer today at the stake, but in
stances are not wanting where he is
ostracised, and his ambition to help
his brother thwarted and defeated.
And this leads US to ask: Is it not
as bad in this day Of intellectual free
dom to Cypress those who do not be.
lieve with us, as it was of old to stone
the prophets, or to behead John the
Baptist? The press, by its spread OF
knowledge, destroyed the superstition
that the King ruled by divine right.
but in this age Of liberty, 1t is indulg-
ing a school Of newspaper owners
whose philosophy Of action surely
proceeds upon the modern belief that
the press has the divine right to rule.

It is easy for the powerful to en-

power comes alone Of God, and to

Burke.
The press of this country, and OF
England, in Jefferson's day, became
SO tyrannical that the great champion
of human rights raised his voice
against 1t in the same language In
which he denounced the tyranny OF
George III.

With their large circulation and
their great influence, too many of the
metropolitan daily press of this coun.
try have become over-ambitious to
lead and to control in business, in
politics, in church and state. These
newspapers, in their zeal, become the
potential agents of oppression. They
seem to reason as did Louis XIV,
who was sincere when he said, Il am

earnestness that it is their duty to
give q new version Of an old saying
by substituting press for people, SO
that it will read. The voice Of the
