Educate the Public

Editor State Journal:
I heartily endorse your plan of
printing the Gospels for the readers
of your paper. You know the aver
sion we all feel for even yesterdays
paper, and this feeling is still
stronger for a paper that is a week
or year old. This is less true of a
monthly periodical. because they
usually select materials of more
enduring interest. But your plan
embraces the printing of that
which can never become old.
Heaven and earth shall pass away.
but My word shall not pass away"
I sincerely hope that the public
are getting the real news of the
world. news that is not a mere
repetition OF yesterdays happen
ings, but things that are always
fresh. because they could happen
but once.
Now we all appreciate the prob
lens of finding a market for an
ideal newspaper; too often it is not
news that is desired, but thrills.
But II you can educate our taste,
not merely for that which is bet
ter, but for the very best news and
reading matter. you shall be do
ing n public service worthy of our
lasting gratitude.
feel like closing with the bene-
diction so often heard after the
scriptures are read N public serv-
ice-"NIay God bless the reading Of
His word"
Very sincerely.

JANUARY was named after
Janus, a god with two faces.
J one looking forward and the
other looking backward. In other
words, he was a twofaced god, with
the ability to 60 where he was
looking and look where he was go
ing. The Romans were very fond
Of Janus and worshipped him In Q
temple that was kept open during
war but was closed In time Of peace.
For that reason the position Of door
keeper of the temple was sought by
many in that burg. -.~,c ~~.,-,
Janus was a god Of Beginnings
ard Ends. In those days every
worthwhile Roman began a Diary,
and the workmen in the public quar-
ries felt very much relieved when,
a few days later. the entries ended.
Whenever anyone got a new mallet
and chisel for Christmas the first
inclination was to start dairy. and
in those days when the only method
of chirography was via the stone
tablet one can we'll imagine how
busy the quarrymen were kept at
this time Of the year. And in any
Of the Roman towns the owner ot
a mallet and chisel was allowed 10
use his or her cut-out.
In those days, too, prohibition
must have been in force, for Janus
carried in his left hand a large Gel
lar key made Of gold and had the
privilege Of any citizens cellar. and
It was usually on the first day Of
