jOyfuIly heralds the news Of your ar

While the minister's chief function Is
t. point the way toward God and spir.

paragingly Of his high calling to note
the fact that much Of his labor deals
with the practical, everyday problems
Of human life. The church has found
it necessary to give attention to social.
economic and even political questions
in order to establish the foundation
upon which to build perma nent
Christian citizenship.
The functions Of the public press are
more varied than those Of any other
profession. First Of all our newspa-
pers are the mirrors from which are
reflected the actual conditions Of every
day and season and Of every people.
state and nation.
The public press is also charged with
the responsibility Of exerting a whole

practically every home In the land. is
read By every Preside, by people Of ev
cry sect and creed. By people Of every
trade and profession. by people of ev-

1t is not always popular for the editor
to stand out firmly for the right side OF
these great moral questions. In fact.
in many instances he has done so at
the hazard OF his business, his property
and even Of his life. But as rule the
public press stands for the highest
ideals Of life. for purity In public and

For biscuits let Us select pastry -four,
q good sweet shortening, double-ra;se
bakingpowder and sweet milk or water.
Milk IL to be preferred, az it browns
the biscuits better. First, measure cor
rectly and sift together at least three
times, the flour, salt and baking powder.
It IL important to blend the baking pow
der thoroughly with the -four. Then
with fork or the finger tips work the
shortening thoroughly into the -four and
mix to q soft dough with the milk or
water-just az soft as can be handled.
Roll out very lightly, or better, spread
and pat the dough out thin with the
hands. Handle as little az possible after
wetting. Then cut in small shapes for
the oven, for small biscuits are very
much better than large ones. II baked
quickly, as biscuits should be, a large
biscuit does not get the proper heat To
raise and bake the center of the biscuit.
A small biscuit raises perfectly, bakes
better, Is more palatable. and Is easier
TO digest.
Biscuits should always be baked on
sheet or In very shallow pan, as the
biscuits should be above the sides Of the
pan In order to have the heat get To

Job. the power of publicity was rec
oSuZed. and the recognition Of that
power has increased every day.
Presidents. kings and potentates bow
under the power Of publicity; rulers
are dethroned and governments are
changed By the influence Of the press.
Equipped with this great power does
the editor carefully weigh and consid-
er his responsibility? Is be fully alert
to the possibilities that lie before him?
1t will not be disputed that the news
paper standard in this country is high
er today than 1t ever was before This
does not mean that there is no room
for improvement 1t should be borne
In mind that newspaper is not exclu-
sively public utility. moral agency
or vehicle alone for the "uplift"
incidentally it Is business institu-
tion. with business problems to solve,
with financial obligations and payrolls
to meet 1t is subjected to the COM
merciai atmosphere Of the day and to
the environment Of the counting room.
though it may be said that few, IL any.
business institutions stand as far above
this environment as does the press.
We hear a great deal in this age
about giving the people what they
want" 1t is a palpably erroneous idea.
No properly constituted newspaper will
any more think of giving its readers
in the broad sense what they want"
than would fond mother think of CIV
ing her child mirror and hammer
because the child cared for it.
To make this concession to the public
would be to let the momentary
thoughts prevail. to let the temporary
passions run riot, to cater to the low
est rather than to the highest ideals in
life. 1t should not be forgotten that
the opportunity or temptation to do
wrong Is stronger than the tendency or
influence to do right
There are certain ethical principles
Of right. certain standards Of justice
and equity. that are as immovable as
the rock of Gibraltar that both press
and pulpit must take determined
stand for If they would live up to their
fullest opportunities and duties.

ers. The three factors that have con
tributed and are contributing most T.,
the progress Of the modern world are
the pulpit, the press and the public
school. To these caIlings much has

tween preacher. journalist and teacher
That there Is any real hostility be-
tween the press and the pulpit / can
not believe The aim Of both is to be
teachers Of the truth. The message Of
the pulpit is religious truth. The mes
sage Of the press Is secular truth. The
pulpit can deal safely with secular af.
fairs only when a clear cut moral or
religious issue Is involved. The press
can take no part In religious contro-
versles. 1t should give all sides hear
Ing. but may safely declare itself only
on those wider and more fundamental
truths that are common to all creeds.
The pulpit has its peculiar advan.
tages. AS rule. it speaks to select
audience composed largely OF the most
intelligent and moral element in the
community. The press speaks to the
entire mass OF humanity the good and
the bad. the intelligent and the ignO.
rant. The message Of each must be
adapted to the needs Of its audience
Because Of this the pulpit must often
blaze the way for the press in matters
Of reform. But rest assured the press
will follow as fast as 1t may without
leaving the most needy portion Of its
audience behind
