The greatest journalist the world ever
knew lived 1900 years or more before
the invention Of type. according to Rev
DIR. Frank N. Palmer, who awarded the
palm to St Mark and wondered at the
marvels that he might have accom-
plished IL he had lived in the days of
printing presses.
st. Matthew put his chronicles in
twenty-eight chapters; St. Luke used
twenty-four to tell his story: st. John
used twenty-one. but st. Mark covered
all the details more wildly In sixteen.
