NEWSPAPER CHARITY.

Space and copies Of his newspaper
go to make up the newspaper mans
entire stock in trade. says the Fourth
Estate ia an editorial on objects
of Charity" These two are all he
has TO offer for sale 10 the public and
uo one has ever given any sort OF
satisfactory reason why he should
bc asked by any one TO donate them
One thing newspaper people viii
never bc able 10 understand is why
any PRISON viii walk into "a newspaper
office and make himself or herself an
object OF charity and insist upon what
they would disdain 10 ask for in any
other shop or place of business in tho
town The principal is the same in
The newspaper office as in the dry
goods store, the grocery store. the
drug store. and what great many
people need Is TO come to recognize
il AS the same and get off The news
paper chmitylist
"ADNERTISING SPACE N THE
NEWSPAPER ~ FOR SALE. NOT
no GIVE AWAY II has a certain
intrinsic value in itself that makes it
worth money Copies of the news
paper are for sale. not to give away.
II they are worth having, they are
worth the exceedingly small price
asked for them
The public.or at least large por-
ton OF il, has some very erroneous
ideas about these matters. and il is
but just TO the newspaper folks that
these ideas be corrected in accordance
with the same business principles that
prevail in all other business estab-
lishments
In the vast majority of cases. this
generous charity on the part of news
papers is blissfully taken by many,
for granted, and the papers liber
ality abused That which is purely a
favor is accepted as matter Of
course, and what should be requests
are couched rs demands
when the courtesy has been per-
formed there is rarely appreciation.
and more often dissatisfaction gen
orally silence The result in many
other towns and cities has been that
a ban has been put upon all free pub
licity, no matter what it's object, even
upon the church notice. In those
cities such fayors as the press be
slows are properly appreciated and
are valued"

all good, and by bis mercy, par.

satisfaction Of our soul, and the

Practice. And why we have
chosen this Title is from the fact
that we knew nothing and bad
been taught nothing. from our
mothers knee, but Roman Cath.
olicism all through childhood
and manhood until we had reach.
ed our thirtieth year-Which
was nothing but confession, ab'
solution, catechism prayer book.
beads, medals, crosses, scapulsrs
and to pray to the saints. the
blessed virgin: and also the mass,
the kissing of the priests hand
and the buckles on the bishops
shoes which are upon bis feet,
and do penance to gain indul
gences, etc. And all through
this superstitious worships of
images and idols we never got to
read the Word Of God for our.
selves, for the very teachings OF
priestism was that If we did read
it we could not understand it,
that. there was no one but the
prelators of the Roman Catholic
Church who we're able to inter.
pret it, for they and they alone,
were TIN ntrue ordained that
we're to interpret and say what
lit nc. ant. .- @,,-2 d
And from this fact, God in His
infinite mercy saw fit to let the
dark shadows Of death pass by
and present itself to Us ny way
of affection, which was the cause
of us crying aloud, II am list
| am lost!' '"'
But while this presentation
| filled US with so much horror,
still it was not Gods time to cal
Us id reality to pass thru the
valley Of death, so our recovery
was again fulfilled after many
promises to lead a better life In
; the love of good works.
Therefore. according to for
mer teachings we again sought
Christ and His 1--we in the same
old way of priestism. for w
knew-no other way than to 60 Il
. priest and confess all to him
But, Alas, alas, we could 6nt
no comfort there now-so We be
