RADIANT LIVING
TELL ME- SOMETHING GOOD"
BY Rev c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. 4. Church
6udlersville, nd.

l shall never forget beautiful In.
cident that occurred In my life sew.
eral years ago.
In a little ship building town dur
ing the noon hour Imet a ship car
penter on his way home for dinner.
He was a large man dressed In ov-
eralls and his round face was beam
ing with a joyful smile. And as /
met him he put his big arm around
me and said: Tell me something
good!"
The strangeness of his request
made me speechless for the moment.
j had never been asked such a thing
before. Tell me something good"
Everybody seemed to be DESTROYS
of hearing about the evils OF life. 1t
has become a sort OF second nature
with us, guess. Perhaps the morn
ing papers have something to do
with ii because the greater the evil
they have to report, the more eager
are we to buy the papers.
Yet after all, II is the good that
we crave. That better part of our
nature is hungry for the best.
Why not let US then seek the good |?
AS we meet life, why not demand
the good? AS we meet life, why not
have good to bestow upon others?
There is some heart hungry for the
good that you can give. Even though
1t be but a smile or spoken
thought, it will have about 1t a mag
ic touch of inspiration.
There would not be so much evil |
in our lives IL we were not contin-
ually seeking it. We generally find |
what we keep looking for.
Let us then shun the evil and the |
evil report. Let us seek the best |
and the best shall be ours.

NEWSPAPER MAN EXPELLED

Without going into details, or giving
names, we call attention to the recent ac-
ton of the National Press Club which ex-
PEELED member for circulating false
and malicious information regarding a
fellow member. The member expelled is
the editor of prominent newspaper syndi-
cate, who was charged with confidentially
circulating false statement in. regard to
the health of his fellow member, Who hap
pened to be the President of the United
States.
There are serious questions in
volved in the action of the National Press
Club, especially the implication of censor
ship which would be possible, if it used its
power to expel maliciously. However,
most readers of newspapers, particularly
the larger metropolitan journals, are con-
scious of the need for some corrective
board to sit in judgment on the conduct of
newspaper writers. 1t is a great tempta-
tion to a writer to secure and distribute
an exclusive news story. Sometimes
temptation overpOwerS the sense of eau
ton and dulls the spirit of fair play. The
story, once broken over the wires. is scat
tered to the four winds and no amount of
corrections and denials will recall the
yarn or cancel its effects.
The Citizen is opposed tosany censor.

mean that we approve unbridled license
for every writer to spray the air with his
or her insinuations and suspicious. Surely
the honest and competent journalists of
the nation should be able to devise
procedure which will protect the import

time punish those whose careless and dis
reputable activities bring disrepute to all
honest writers and thinkers.
