WRITING FOR THE PRESS.
A good article for a newspaper is a thing
of its own kind, not so easily produced as
perhaps many imagine. It demands art and
skill. What is it in some of its leading
qualities?
First of all, it has a good title—short,
terse, and eminently suggestive. In this
respect it is well advertised. Whether an
article will be read or not depends very
much upon its title. One can generally
make a tolerably fair guess at its character,
even before reading it, by simply reading
the title. This is the first thing upon which
the eye falls, and the first to make an im
pression. Hence the title should always be
well selected.
Next to the title comes the idea of the
article—mainly one, and but one ; and that,
too, sufficiently important to give an ample
occasion fbr a few well-written paragraphs.
A newspaper article is not a book, with a
series of elaborate chapters, or an exhaus
tive essay ; but, rather, a brief monogram
for cursory reading, to be read at least once,
and perhaps never read again. The writer
must make his impression with the first
blow, not expecting to get a second chance
at the same reader. For this purpose ho
wants but one positive and central idea,
sufficient in itself and sufficiently developed
to do the work of the moment in the mo
ment. This idea he should have well in
hand when he starts, knowing what he
wants to do with it, and not trusting to
mere luck and chance as to what ho shall
write. It should also be a living idea—one
that can be worked up into a vigorous and
impressive article; and one, too, that has
relations to the present status of things. A
living log is always better than a dead
lion. An opportune article that is timely,
and says just the right thing at the right
time—thus hitting the nail on the head—
tells upon human thought.
The greatest possible directness in ap
proaching the idea is a third quality of a
good newspaper article. Such an article
wants no exordium, and needs no perora
tion. The better way is not to skirmish
with the reader, or dig trenches toward
him; but to pitch the main thought into
his face immediately, and then keep pitch
ing it at him for a few moments, and then
come to a dead passe—making no apology
for the abrupt beginning, and none for the
ending, and always having the good sense
to make the lowest possible references to
one's self. Write to the reader as if you
were talking to him, and both were a
hurry, and neither had any time to waste
upon mere formalities. This will' always
please him best.
Short articles are always the ones most
likely to be read; and, of course, long ones
are those most likely to be unread. One
column is better than two, and sometimes
half a column is better than either; Two
columns need a very weighty theme and a
first-class writer. On this subject every
writer may judge of others by himself.
Seldom has he the time or patience to wade
through a long article; and what is true of
himself is equally true of nine men in ten.
The writers who write for the greatest num
ber of readers generally do not exceed a
column of an ordinary sized newspaper.
They know when to stop.
The style of newspaper writing should be
simple and compact, progressive .in the
order of thought, stating a few ideas very
clearly, and suggesting a great many more.
The people are the readers; and what they
want is plain Saxon English, full of mean
ing and well put together. There is a
choice among words; and, of course, the
best words are always those that will do
the most execution. Long and involved
sentences, loaded with allusions unintelli
gible to most persons, and that too without
any suitable arrangement into paragraphs
are not the thing for the popular mind.
They do not make a readable article.
Absolute honesty and sincerity of heart in
the writer are quite essential to a good ar
ticle. These qualities will make his rhetoric
spontaneously eloquent. The words he uses,
and the figures he employs, will glow with
the fervors of his own spirit, and awaken cor
responding fervors in others. The reader
will instinctively feel that he is dealing
with an earnest mind. Genuine feeling is
half the battle in writing a good article.
And now, all ye newspaper writers, we
beg you to have a little compassion on type
setters and proof-readers. Write legibly.
Write on but on, side of a sheet. Spell
your words correctly, and .be sure to put
capital letters wherethey ought to be. Punc
tuate your sentences according to the best
approved system. Divide the matter into
paragraphs according to the nature and
current of thought, and not leave this for
the printer to do. Attend to these things;
and we promise you the type-setters and
proof readers will not only be grateful, but
also give your articles to the reading public
just as they are written.—The Independent.
TWO WATS OF BEADING THE BIBLE.
In Stanley's Life of that saintly man,
Dr. Arnold, there is a letter from a Mr:
Price, who was associated. with Arnold at
Rugby, who knew him perhaps more , inti.
mutely than any other person, and whose
reminiscences of him are both instructive
and entertaining. Speaking of the way in
which Dr. Arnold read the Scriptures, Mr.
Price makes a distinction which seem 4 to
us worthy of note. We
,quote from uptsge
195 of the first volume.: /
"It must be borne in Tula that there are
two methods of reading Scripture ' perfect
ly distinct in their object and nature) , the
one is practical, and, the Ot4PC,BOOP1410;
the, one aims at the edificatiorrof the.:Atderi
the other at the enlightening.of
standing. the one seeks the religious tra t tli
of Scripture as bearing on the inquirer's
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1868.
heart and personal feelings, the other the
right comprehension of the literary and in
tellectual portions of the Bible."
Dr. Arnold's method was practical. He
felt the Bible. It was to him the bread of
life, more than of thought—if indeed the
profoundest thought does not spring from
the truest life. We think that the practical
and the scientific ways of studying the Bi
ble are compatible—that the one may help
the other. But we have known persons
who did not blend them—who studied the
Bible as German critics have studied the
Iliad—for its curiosities rather than its
beauties—to be amused rather than to be
moved. Hence so much of heartless ration
alism. Only those who feel the Bible can
understand it. The letter without the spirit
killeth. None but Christians can under
stand Christianity. Neither the practical
nor the scientific way of studying the Scrip
tures can be thorough, except as the two
blond. Yet the root of all true Scripture
interpretation is the heart in sympathy with
Scripture truth.
LORD BROUGHAM'S FAVORITE HYMN.
It his life was a battle (as his countryman,
John Knox, not unlike him in many things,
always described his to be), how profoundly
peaceful was his end! He simply lived life
out. Death has been called the " brother "
of sleep; in his case there was no distinction;
he died in sleep, he slept in death. It was,
literally, a death-sleep. Touching contrast
to that sleepless, perturbed life! But be
fore his death—for some years, as I under
stand—he had also enjoyed an inward peace,
which I- shall not disturb by attempting to
define what, it was; indeed, I do not know
beyond the general statement; I do not seek
to know. Suffice it to me that he had re
turned round (one of those beautiful cycles
we sometimes see in a long life !) to the sim
ple faith and feelings of his childhood. One
of the narrators of the circumstances of his
death, writing from Cannes, relates, with
apparent knowledge, that he bad long de
rived peculiar pleasure in listening to the
hymns sung in the English church at. Cannes,
and that he aSked the clergyman to add one,
a favorite of his own, to the number. It
was the hymn sung a•t his funeral. The
words are given, and the singing of it, it is
said, always produced in him visible emo
tion. And what, do our English readers
think, was this hymn ? No other than a
Scottish paraphrase with which Henry
Brougham had been familiar in his child
hood. These ParaphraSes were collected by
the Church of Scotland just about the time
he was born, in St. Andrew's square, Edin
burgh, and were read and admired in all
families, conned in the schools, and sung in
the churches. Who can doubt that little
Henry had often repeated this same para
phrase on Sundays at his mother's knee,
au excellent and admirable woman, the
niece of Principal Robertson, the historian?
—that he had often heard it resounding
through the,a,rches of 'St. Andrew's church,
to the grand ancient tunes, St. 'Paul's, or
Montrose, or the Martyrs? Long, long years
rolled between,—years of proud science, of
vaulting ambition, of debates like thunder
storms, of passions like those of a tiger, of
worldly intrigue,•worldly vice perhaps per
haps also seasons of incredulity, of indiffer
ence to the spiritual •instinetsin man. Then
behold the snows of nigh ninety winters
lightly sprinkled over that still firm, massive
head; look into those eyes, still meteoric with
something of their former wild fire, yet soft
ening now, and brooding as the great era of
mortal change approaches. See the terri
ble orator, at whose voice senates have
trembled,. sitting quiet and benign in the lit
tle chapel at Cannes. Heir the choir up
lift their voices, strengthened by the devo
tion-breathing organ. Lo, the great old lord
at Cannes becomes again the child of St.
Andrew's square; the angels of his youth
are whispering in his aged ear:
Let not your hearts with anxious thoughts
Be troubled or dismayed ;
But trust in Providence divine,
And trust my gracious aid.
I to my father's house return ;
There numerous mansions stand,
And glory manifold abounds
Through all the happy land.
I go your entrance to secure,
And your . abode prepare:
•Regions unknown are safe to you,
When I, your Friend, am there.
Thence shall I come, when ages close,
To take you home with me;
There we shall meet to part no more,
And still together he.,
EARNEST PREACHING.
I have been reading an article on the Elo
quence of the Pulpit, in Montauban Revue
Theologique, written by Adolphe Moiled. It
is one, of the best things lever read on the
subject. Ho makes elocution to depend on
the inward conception and feeling. The
work must begin from within. •
The great reason why we have so little
good preaching is that we have so little
piety. To be eloquent one must be earnest ;
he must not only . act as if he were in earn
est, or try to V° in earnest, but BE in earn
est, or he cannot be effective.
We have loud and vehement, we have
Smooth and graceful, we have splendid and
elaborate preaching ; but very little that is
earnest. One man who so feels for the souls
of his hearers as to be ready to weep over
them, will assuredly make hiinself felt. This
is what , niakes him .effective—her really feels
what he says. This made Cookinan elo
quent. This especially was the charm ,of
Summerfield, above all men I &
aver hear
We must aim, therefore, at; higl degrees of
warmth in our religiouS exercises ; • if we
would, make ti,a irnpreSsion Upott''th'a, Pnblje
mind. Oh ! that the preachers we h,,,u7i,' 13
were inspired;:with 'greater. le:kW Wiiliout
anyincteaseternfirdbers, the very metr,;l
now have, if actuated with burning zeal for
God, might work a mighty reformation in
our country.—J. TV. Alexander.
THE UNITAS FRATRUM
The Moravian Church is divided into three
Provinces, viz.: The American, all the
churches in the United States; the Con
tinental, all on the Continent of Europe ;
and the British, those in Great Britain and
Ireland. Each Province has an ecclesiasti
cal organization of its own, and manages
its own provincial affairs, but the three Pro
vinces are confederated as one Church, in
respect to general principles of doctrine and
practice and the work of Foreign Missions,
by a General Synod, which meets at inter
vals of not less than ten years, in Berthels
dorf, Saxony, which is the seat of govern
ment, where the " Executive Board" of the
Foreign Mission has been located for more
than one hundred years past. The chief
glory and renown of the Moravian Church
have been its truly missionary spirit, hav
ing been the first to carry the Gospel to the
Greenlanders (A. D. 1733), and the inhabit
ants of South Africa (A.D. 1727).
In the Foreign Mission congregations there
are, according to the statistics by the Mora
vian, 31,801 baptized adults; 9,503 candi
dates for membership; 4,401 " New People,"
recently brought under Christian influence,
and 23,606 baptized children—total, 70,311.
To carry on this work there are 371 male.
and female European Missionaries and 1,052
native assistants of whom over 100 are
ordained ministers. • There are 238 schools
•for 'the heathen, in which there are as far
as reported 23,756 scholars.
The Diaspora is a home missionary work
on the Continent of Europe, recognized , and
allowed by moat of the Established Church
es, and it is estimated that about 15,000
persons are in connection with this work.
The number of communicant members in
the United States is a few less than 15,000
in all, and in Great Britain and Ireland
there are a fewer than 10,000. ' The' self
d enying spirit and Simple manners of this
people have endeared them to Christians of
all' persuasions.

eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks,
and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and
