P. S.-Say, please let me have an
other word to my stuff for this week.
| have just. read in the News and
Courier of Thursday that the senate
on Wednesday night passed an amend
ment to the liquor bill and sent it to
the house allowing monthly stipend
of five dozen pints of beer Just think
of that. 1t is sixty pints month. Two
every day. Now, Bob, you of The
State, l am sure you wrote that note,
though I see that my own dear SEN
ator from Newberry lead the fight
against that amendment. Just think
of that, will you. and when / have
been such a fool about them John
stones all my life. Well, the point
now is, write note to them mem
bers over in the house and see if they
will agree to the senate amendment
and the country will be safe yet. It is
Just like one of the senator's said, l
believe the one from Charleston, such
an amendment is in the interest OF
real temperance. May the members
of the house come to their wits also.

me for my familiarity-but have you
seen that that there legislature is
talking about reducing the allowance
to two quarts month and maybe only
one. Have you written that there

!owance of beer and wine? If not,

If they are going to keep on reducing

cut it out for all purposes and let the

was reading The other day IN some
newspaper where a Rev. Mr.. Diffen-
bach, Unitarian minister, preached
a sermon on Our Debt to the Press. .
He declared, the article says, that the
newspaper men held the greatest pow
er for good of all men not excepting
the ministers of the gospel. Then the
article continues:
He declared that the newspaper, II
we'll regulated, was an ally of religion
and that it had contributed more than
anything else to the abolition OF sects,
though it occasionally would exploit
controversies as it did comparatively
recently in Hartford
On the other hand, Mr.. Diffenbach
mentioned some of the faults of the
average paper such as the delicious
fctions," sacred COW" twisting OF
facts' and exploitation of passion
for the purpose of boasting circula-
ton
He declared further that finished
English in newspapers had become
almost a arity. Journalism cannot
flourish when money making is its
goal" he said. you can't make money
out of the big services to humanity.
| don't know why you can't but you
can't
Three periods in American journal
;eno vere outlined by Mr.. Diffenbacn.
The first period, he said, was that OF
the elder Bennett, who put the news
raper on business basis; the sec
ond, that of Dana, who brought the
art of writing into journalism, and the
third, that of Pulitzer, who introduc-
ed into journalism the age of exploit
ing the crowd and of striving for sen
sation. He quoted figures alleging that
of news investigated, % per cent. was
demoralizing, II per cent, unWhole-
some, 81 per cent trivial, and 80 per
cent worth while.

| quote this article TO call attention
to one sentence or two in it. Listen
to this: You can't make money out
of big services to humanity. | don't
know why you cant but you can't"
Now, had you ever thought of that?
And isn't it strange, but if you will
stop long enough to think about it for
minute, and of the mel and the
women whom you have known and
read about, you will conclude that it
is true 1t is a great consolation to
me-pardon me. l am not vain-but

manity. and l know now why | nave
never made money. The truth is that
those who are engaged in doing big
things for humanity never stop long
enough in their work to think about
money, and, therefore, they never have
any worth while Especially is this
true of the country newspaper man.
Journalism cannot flourish wnen

Talking about newspapers reminds
me that | read another article from
some one else on the point that it
would pay the churches 40 advertise
their services. Here it is. Read it.
And tnen some of the merchants might
take heed.
"The time seems to be approaching
when business men in churches will
insist upon business methods in
church work." says Norcross in the
Church and Clergy" column of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. Instead
of three, five or ten-line notice in
the newspaper, announcing the SER
vices and the ministers topics, they
will nave 100-line, and often 500-line
display advertisements, which every
newspaper reader will see and read
with interest. 1t requires no prophet
to predict that within 10 years most
of our enterprising churches will adj
vertise their services in large type
"Some will ask the question: Does
it pay to advertise church?' Il does.
No one can estimate the value of the
souls that may be saved through the
medium of this advertising; but there
are more practical results which will
appeal to practical church officials.
A young minister of North Philadel-
phia, who mas astonished churchmen
by his publicity methods, brought two
of the wealthiest families of his dis
trict intoN his church by means of his
newspaper campaign These families
make handsome contribution to the
current expenses of that congrega-
ton. And newspaper advertising did
