Topeka Minister Worked
As Newspaper Reporter
Before Becoming a Pastor
Dr. J. Kup of First Methodist Church Tells of His E
periences While Working Staff of Trenton, N J.
Times-He Also Passed Bar Examination.
BY LOIS RoBINETrE.


DR.. Edmund ]. Kulp. pastor of the
First Methodist church, is quite YER
satile.
DR.. Kulp has passed the bar exami-
nation. worked as a reporter on a
newspaper for two years. and is now
in the ministry. He worked his way
thru Dickinson college at Carlisle. Pa,
where he took the law course At
the time he passed the bar examina-
ton. he was not old enough to prac-
tice While working as a clerk in a
law office in Philadelphia, he was
offered a position in Trenton, N j.,
on the Trenton Times" He accepted
this offer and while gathering news
as a reporter, was invited to preach
in a country church on Sundays. Al
tho not ordainC... he filled the pulpit
for two years. Then instead of prac-
ticing law as he had planned. he was
persuaded by the presiding elder to
enter the Methodist conference. He
was voted into the conferenc and Of
fered a position-"So here I am now"
said Dr. Kulo.
Edited High School Paper.
DR.. KuIp tells his newspaper ex-
Ierience for the summer following
his graduation from high school Dur
ing his senior year in the Trenton,
N J. high school, he was editor Of
the high school paper, The Blade
Upon graduating In June, ne was or
fered a position as a reporter on the
Trenton Times
IN the middle of the summer"
said DR.. Kulp, everything was pretty
dead in Trenton, and the paper was
hard up for news. One day while AT
the Trenton house 1 happened to no
tice that the lifting machine Ga nickel
in-the-slot contraptiOn that you pull
down to see how many pounds you
can lift )had been transferred from
the hotel lobby to the bar room Right
then I had an inspiration. went
back to the office and wrote a purely
imaginary story about the men who
patronized the machine-how they'd
each pull down a certain number of
pounds, then would step up to the
bar, take a dril.-- and try the machine
again.
with every drink, the machine
showed that their strength was in
creased It wouldn't have been so
bad il Ishadn't used the names of all
the Influential men in town who were
non-drinkers. remember one of
them was the Methodist Sunday
school superintendent, and another
was quite a fine mantle head OF
the Adams Express company.
sDfany Visits to Editor.
Whether the editor was nodding or
really thought it was funny. I can't
say, but at any rate. it slipped By and
went into the paper. The result was
a series of unfriendly visits to the
office of the editor the next day.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-05-06

Every, single man whose name was in
that story paid his respects to the
editor. I've never been able to- de-
eide whether he forgot who wrote it
or was really kind hearted-but he
never gave me away. 1 don't know
whether the paper ever got into any
actual libel suits or not, but I do know
there was a, scared reporter on the
staff.
Near the end of that summer,
didn't think circumstances would ad-
just themselves so that 1 could enter
college in the fall, so I wrote to John
K Chambers, managing editor of the
Ffi1a delpl9ia Record, and. one of the
eminent newspaper men of the early
nineties asking him for job, telling
him I had had a little experience on
a paper. In a few days I received
postal from Chambers bearing these
What do you know about the news
paper business I sent back a postal
saying, Nothing, give me trial. I'm
mediately I received word to report
to his office the following Monday.
But things readjusted themselves so
that I was aole to enter college that
Monday.
Tried Discourage Him.
Mr.. Mcintosh, my boss while on the
Trenton Times, tried to dissuade me
from a college career He said that
when a college graduate enters a
newspaper office, he feels perfectly
confident that he can both manage
and edit the paper easily all by him
self-but after being on the paper
three weeks, if he is exceptionally
bright, he will be competent to wash
the lamp chimneys or clean the cuspi-
dors''

Hon. Warren q. Harding
President of the
United States

I shall best express
my opinion of the value
of life insurance when
1 say that 1 took out
my first policy as a
youth of nineteen. and
have been writing new
policies ever since that
time. 1 have found
them a pretty heavy
burden upon my re-
sources <at times. par
ticularly in my earlier
years, but have al
ways found them to be
very comforting pos
sessions, and if 1 had
my life to live over
again 1 would seek to
take more rather than
less.

DorUra to Brass Tacks

after your active earning period is over, when you
have passed the productive period of life-what
then?
We know, everyone hopes to have enough to live on
but will you?
Statistics show that only five out of every thousand
have accumulated enough to quit work, and live on
at sixty.
But certain number of perfectly healthy men of
your age will die in 1922.
Some will leave their families adequately protected
home, and plenty of life insurance. Others will
leave but little in savings will leave debts
that's ALL
So when you see life insurance man. ask him to sit
down. Figure it all out seriously.
