DAILY NEWS AND THE
CHURCHES.

The churches evidently have hard
time trying to please the Jackson
Daily News, if they are trying. In
deed there seems no chance for them
to be in favor with that journal Six
months ago the editor of the News
was doing his. utmost to keep the
churches out of the camps and the
army in general. Now he is giving
them Hawkins about not doing any
thing for soldiers. In last Mondays
issue there was an editorial arraign-
ing the churches for having failed in
their opportunity and not responding
to the demand for service to the men
in uniform. 1t is a case of condemn
ing if you do and condemning if you
don't. The News lent it's entire force,
whatever that was, to keep the camp
pastors out of the army and away
from the boys. Repeatedly it inveigh
ed against admitting them to the
camps to minister to the boys. Most

emphaticaily it stated that the Jews
and the Catholics and the Y. M. c. A.
were sufficient and that there was no
place for the churches. Now it is out
lambasting the churches for doing
nothing fo~ the soldiers. 1t begins to
look as if the representative of the
news froths at the mouth every time
he passes a church OF has one men
toned him. There is something in
his conduct which reminds one Of the
scripture which says, 'The carnal
mind is enmity against God" and the
News seems to be proof of it.
And now as to the charge that the
churches have done nothing for the
soldiers. 1t is like the answer to the
question why live fish put into ba-
sin of water does not add to its weight.
The answer is at amt So" of course
the News editor didn't know it wasn't
so for there is a whole lot that goes

a terra incognita to him. The truth is
