4 NeWs paper for Jesus

We agree We believe that if the church had been on

would make the unChrstly item freak instead of
the routine.
An editor rather hard put to get out the sort of
paper that Christ would enjoy reading provided he tells
the truth about things they happen Telling the exact
truth about events is supposed to be the first and final
duty of the daily press No matter how pous may be
the editor matter how jealous in the cause of the

It was good story and it supplied by the churches,
