8 WEWSPAPEBS-GOOO HHP BAD. Iemr by the IUv. T. De Witt Talmas Iat EmbIbk, at the Second Reformed Dutch Church. ISPECIAI. XBrORT FOB TH KVKNINO TBLtOHAPH. By epeolal request, Rev. Dr. Talmago re pealed bis leotare on "Newspapers Good and Dad," last evening, before the largest congrega tion which has as yet assembled In the Second Reformed Dntch Church. The lowering aspeot of the weather, forebod ing a rainy night, tended not to dotal n our citizens, who came In such great numbers that the doors of the church were closed all the standing and sitting room Inside, the pulpit teps, benches, and seats being fully occupied. "We present our readers with a full report of this lectnre, drawn from the following passages of Serlpture: "Knowledge shall be increased." Dan. xll, 4. "Ana he brought me to the door of the court, and when J Uxiked, behold, a hole in the wall. Then Mid he tmtome, Son of man dig now in the walls, and when I had digged in the wall, behold, a door. And fie said unto me, Go in, and behold the Hacked abominations that they do here. 1H0 I went in and saw; and, behold, every form of creeping thing, and abominable beasts, atid all the idols of the ttouse of Israel, portrayed upon tne wall round mbotU." Kzek. viil, 7, 8, , 10. The first paKsage Is a prophecy of the multl- plication of intelligence, the fulfilment of which hall eome chiefly through the Christianized printing press. The second passage represents the prophet us breaking through the wall that blues the abominations of ancient Jerusalem. The first passage will call ine to see what u good newsaper may do, anil the lust will cull mo lit dig In the wull that hides much sin, and con front a roll of Iniquitous newBpapuis, yet wet Mom the printing preHH. The newspaper is the great educator of the nineteenth century. Thore Is no force com pared with it. 11 is boolc. pulpit, platform. Jorum, all in one. And there is notun interest, religious, literary, commercial, scieutltlc, agri cultural, or mechanical, that Is not within Its I: ran p. All our churches, and schools, and col egrs, and asylums, and urt galleries feel the jnakltig of the printing preen. I shall try to-nlglit to bring to your parlor tables the periodicals that ure worthy of tlio Christian fireside, and try to pilch into the mu ter of scorn and contempt those newspapers that are not fit for the hand of your child or the Tlslon of your wife. The Institution of newspapers arose in Italy. Jn Venice tho first newspaper was published; and monthly during the time that Venice was warring against Hollman the Second, in Dal tuitla. It was printed tor the purpose of giving military and commercial Information to the Veneliahs, The first newspaper published In Kntrland was In lo88, and called the English Mercury. Others were styled the Weekly Discoverer, the Sevrtt Owl, JleraclUus Ridans. etc., etc. Who can estimate the political, scientific, commer cial, and religious revolutions roused up in Ktiglnntt for many years past, by Jiell's Weekly Despatch, the Standard, the Morning Chronicle, the J'ost, and that "Prince of Liars," tho London Tin is f The first attempt at this Institution in France was in 1VM, by a physician who pub lished the News, tor the amusement and health of his patients. The Freuch nation under stood fully how to appreciate this power. JNapoleon with his own hund wrote articles for it, and so early as in 13 there were in Fans lull Journals. But iu the United .States the newspaper has come to unlimited sway. Though In 1775 there were but thirty-seven in the whole country, the number of published Journals is now counted by thousands, nnd to-day, we may as well confess It as not, the religious and secular newspapers are the great educators of Philadelphia. Iu our pulpits we talk to a few hundred peo ple; they gather au audience of about three hundred thousand. If they are right, they ure aagniflcently rlghl; und If they are wrong, they are awlully wrong. The periodicals of the Presbyterian, tne Epis copal, the Methodist, the Itaptist. aud Lutheran societies; the Ledger, The Evening Tele CRAfH, Inquirer, Press, Age, North American, Bulletin, Star, Daily News, Saturday Night, Dis jtalch. Mercury, Transcript, Sunday Morning Times. Evening Ilerald, and others, are wielding an influence the length und the breadth whereof annot be estimated except by the rod with Which Uod measures the land ana tue sea. Each of the clergy preaches two sermons a week; the newspaper presses preach one mil lion eight hundred thousand sermons a week. We each glye one feu.nd.red and two discourses a year; they give, by their sneoU ia circula tion, sixty-seven million five hundred flllu lorty-two thousand a year. I find nodlinculty in accounting lor the world's advance! Four centuries ag, In Germany, in courts of Justice, men fought wilh their fists, to see who should have the decision of the court, and If tho judge's decision was unsatisfactory, then tne judge fought with the counsel. Many of the lords could not read the deeds of their own estates. What has made the change? "Books!" you say. No, sir! The vast majority of citizens do not read books. Take this audience, or any other promiscuous assemblage, and how many histories have they read? How many treatises on constitutional law, or political economy, or works of science? Mow many elaborate poems, or books of travel? How much of'lloyle," or "De Tocquevllle," or "Xenophon," or "Herodotus," or "I'ercival?" Mot many! In the United (States the people would not average one book a year for each In dividual. Whence, then, this intelligence? This capacity to talk about all themes, secular and religious? This acquaintance with science and art this power to appreciate the beautiful and grand? Next to the Bible, the newspaper swift winged and everywhere present. Flying over the fence, shoved under the door, tossed into the counting-honse, laid on the work-bench, hawked through the oara ! All read it! White and black, German, Irishman, Swiss, Spaulard, American, old and young, good and bad, sick and well, before breakfast and after tea, Mon day morning, Saturday night, Sunday und week dayl I now declare that I consider the newspaper to be the grand agency by which the Gospel is to be preached, ignorance cast out, oppression dethroned, crime extirpated, the world raised, Heaven rejoiced, and God glorified. Iu the clanking ol the printing press, as sheets fly out, I hear the voice of the Lord Almighty proclaim ing to all the dead nations of the earth, "Laza rus, come forth!" and to the retreating surges of darkness, "Let there be light." In many of our city newspapers professing no more than secular Inlormation, there have appeared during the past five years some ot the grandest appeals In behalf of religious liberty, and some of the most eflective inter pretations of God's government among the nations. That man has a shrivelled heart 'Who begrudges the five pennies that be pays to the newsboy who brings the world to his feot. There are to-day counected with the edito rial and reportonai corps of newspaper esta blishments men of the highest culture and most unimpeachable morality, who are living on the most limited stipends, martyrs to the work to which they feel themselves called. While you sleep in the midnight hours, their pens fly and their brains ache In preparing the morning Intelligence. Many of them go un rested and unappreciated; their check blanched aud their eyes half quenched with midnight work, towards premature graves, to have the "proof-sheet" of tholr life corrected by Divine mercy, glad at last to escape the perpetual an noyances of a fault-finding public, and the rest less, impatient cry for "more copy. "Nations are to be born in a day." Will this creat Inrush into the kingdom of Qod come from personal presence of missionary and philanthropist? No! When the time comes . ,),,. nv-n.l Mmnoniitrnt Inn of the spirit, the morning papers In all the earth will make the tremendous announcement, uu to the nations. As at some telegraphic centre, an operator will send the messaires north and uouth and east and west, 8au trancisco and 'Heart's Content" catching the flash at the name instant, so, standing at some centre to which shall reach all the electrlo wires that cross the continent, and underglrd the sea. Home one shall with the fore-finger of the right hand, click the Instrument that shall thrill through all landB, across all islands, under all ueas. through all palaces, into all dungeons, and startle Txith hemispheres with the news, that in a few moments shall rush out from the ten thousand times ten thousand printing presses of the earth, "Jesus hath come ! all Into line all ye nations! Glory to God In the highest, and on earth peace, good-will to meni Hallelujah I" Voa see, therefore, that In the plain words to he spoken I have no grudaes to gratify against the newspaper presses. Professional men are mocustomed to complain of injustice done them fcy reportorlal Inaccuracies. 'J he crMclAins I THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1867. have to make are not inspired by such motives; for I have always In this city, as elsewhere, re ceived from those who manage the newspaper press the utmost generosity of treatment. Con sidering that newspaper men do much of their work In the night, and are called so often to re port orations anil sermons, delivered lu style rapid and Indistinct, 1 wonder that they so often get things right. Hut there is a class of men In towns and cities who send forth a bale ful Influence from their editorial nens. There are enough bad newspapers weekly poured out into the homes of Philadelphia to poison a vast population. In addition to the home manufacture of Iniquitous sheets, the mall-bags of lloston and New York come In gorged with the most super natural abominations. We scoop np from the sewers of other cities and add it to our own newspaper filth, and to-night, lytngon the tables of this city, or laid away on the shelf, or in the trunk for more private perusal, are papers the mere mention of the names of which wonld send a blush to the cheek of childhood and the colorless face of the octogenarian, until the decent and Christian world would cry out, God save the city!" There is a paper published In lloston that, because of Its Indecencies, no city Government ought to allow, and yet there are seven thou sand copies of that paper that come weekly to this city for circulation. 1 will not mention the lin m for fear some of you would go and cet it (!) 1 he vilekt sheet published in another city. hs between thiee aud four thousand Philadelphia subscriber. It is wonderful how quick tho finders of the primer boy fly, but the fingers of Mn and pollution can set up fifty thousand type in an instant. The supply of bad papers in our own city doos not meet the insatiable appetite of our pooplo lor refuse and garbage and moral swill. Hut wo must import corrupt weeklies published else where, filled with stories of blood aud murder and revenge hik! abandonment, that make our newspaper stunds groan under the burdeu. lUitweneed not go so far there nre papers In town that lonn ago came to perfection of stianvv let-sncsg, and there Is no more power In venom und mud anil slime to pollute them. They have dashed their Iniquities Into the face of every thing decent and holy. And their work will bo seen In the crlmeand debauchery, and the hell of innumerable victims. Thelrcolumnsare not long r.nd broad enouiih to record the tragedies of their hon ible uniloiug of immortal men and women. God, in tho day of Judgment will hold up the reeking, stcnchful, accursed sheet, upon, which they spread out thrlrguilt, and the whole universe will cry out for their damnation, i-ce the woi k ol bad newspapers in the false fillings they brimil There ure hundreds of men to-day penniless, who were durum the war hurled from their affluent positions by Incor rect accounts of battles that shook the money market, and the gold gamblers, with tlieir beastly hoofs, trampled these honest men Into the nilre. Aud many a window was hoisted at the hour of midnight, as the boy shouted, "Extra! Ertra!" And the father and mother Who bad an only son at the front, with trem bling hand and blanched cheek and sinking heart, read of battles that had never occurred. God pity the father and mother who has a boy ut the Iront when evil lidlnKS come ! It au individual makesu false statement, one or twenty persons may be damuged; but a newspupcr that wilfully makes a misstatement in one day tells fifty t housand falsehoods. The most stupendous of all lies is a newspaper lie. A bad newspaper scruples not at any slander. It may he that to escape the grip of the law the paragraphs will be nicely worded, so that the suspicion Is thrown out and the damage done, without any exposure or peril. Year by year, thousands of men are crushed by the Ink-roller. An unscrupulous man in the editorial chair may smile as with the wing of u destroying angel. What to him aro commercial integrity or prolesslonnl reputation, or woman's honor or home sanctity? It seems as if he held In his hands a hose, with which, while all the harpies of sin were work ing at the pumps, he splashed the waters of death upon the best interests of society. The express train in England halts not to take In water, but between the tracks there is a trough one-fourth of a mile in length filled with water, aud the train drops a hose that catches un tho water while the train flies. So with had news papers that fly along the track of death, with out pausiug u moment, yet scooping up Into themselves the pollution of society, and in the awful rush making the earth tremble. The bad newspapers stops not at any political outrage. It would arouse a revolution, aud empty tho hearts of a million brave men in the trenches, rather than not have its own circula tion multiply. What to It ore the hard-earned laurels of the soldier, or the exalted reputation of the statesman? They would, if they dared, blow up tne Capitol building of tho nation, if they could only successfully carry off the prize of one of the corridors. There aro enough falsehoods told In any one of our autumnal tactions to make toe "Father oi Lies" disown his monstrous progeny. Now it is the Mayor, then the Governor, now the Secretary of Stato. nnd then the President, until the air Is so full of mlsrepresentalionsgihat truth Is hidden from the view, as beautiful landscapes by tho clouds of summer insects blown up from the meadows. The immoral newspaper slops not at tne un clean advertisement. It la so much for so many words, and in such a sheet It will cost no more to advertise the most Impure boolc than the new edition of "Pilgrim's Progress." A book. such as no decent man would touch with the tip of his cane was a few months ago advertised marsew lorn paper, anu tne getier-up or the book, nassinu; down one of our streets the other duy, acknowledged to one of my friends that he Dad made eiB.uuu out oi tue enterprise. More money than J ohn Buny an e ver saw or dreamed ol! There are papers professing to be religious that have not scrupled to take immoral adver tisements. In one column of a paper we some times see a crand "ethical" discussion, and In another the droppings of most accursed nastl- netss. Oh, you cannot, oy ail your religion in one column, atone for your abominations iu another! i am rejoiced that some of our papers have addressed those who have pro posed to compensate them for the use of tnelr columns, lu the words of Peter to Simon Magus "Your money perish with you !" But I arraign the newspapers that Rive their columns to corrupt advertising, for tne n a fu rious worKiney are uoiug. rue most polluted ( lays that ever oozed from the poisonous pen of leprous dramatists have won their deathful power through the medium of newspapers. The evil is stupendous. Oh, ye managers of theatres, and ye proprietors of iniquitous shows! Though you get money though morality dies, und so ciety is dishonored, and God defied, and the doom of the destroyed opens before you Get Money ! Though melted, the gold be poured upon thy naked, blistered, and consuming soul Get Money ! Get Money!! It will do you good when it begins to eat like a canker! It will solace the pillow of death and soothe the pangs of an agonized eternity! Though in the game thou dost stake thy soul, and lose it for ever Get Money! Fill all the newspapers that you can, and cover all the board fences In the country with your nefarious advertisements Get Money! Get Money ! The bad newspaper hesitates not to assault Christianity and its disciples. With what ex hilaration it puts in capitals that fill one-fourth of a column, the defalcation of some agent, of a benevolent society. There is euoiign meat in such a carcass of reputation to gorge all the oar rlou crows of an iniquitous printing press. They put upon tho buck of the Church all the inconsistencies of hypocrites as though u bunker were responsible lor oil the counterfeits ution his institution. They Jeer at religion; and lift up their voices until all the caverns of the lost resound with the howl oi their derision. They forget that Christianity is the only hope for the world, and that but for Its enlighten ment they would now be like the Hottentots, living in mud hovels, or like the Chinese, eating rats. What would you think of a wretch who, during a great storm, while the ship was being tossed to and fro on the angry waves, should climb up into the lighthouse aud blow out the light? And what do you think of these men, who, while all the Christian and the glorious Institutions of I he world are being tossed and driven hither and thither, are trying to climb up and put out the ouly light of a lost world? The bud newspaper stops not at publishing the most damaging and unclean story. The only question Is, "Will It take?" And there are scores of men who, day by day, bring into the uewspuper olllees mauusorlpls for publication Which unite all that is pernicious. And before , the ink is fulrly dry, tens of thousands are de vouring with avidity the Impure issue. From amid costly tapestries, and out from marble halls, the elegant and fashionable oome to get a copy. As you go into their houses they are dis turbed, and turn down out of sight the name of tho sheet, so that you do not know but that it is the American Presbyterian or Christian Intelli gencer. The servant is desputohed in hot haste, lest the issue be exhausted. These people read until their eyes well-nigh full them. They glare npon the story of arson, uad revenge, and destroyed virtue, and sulolde I They plunge chin-deep Into the plot. Theoold sweat stands all over them. Jhe horrible scene make their flush, creep They are nervonn, are excited until the least shuffle In the hall makes them start as though it were the pistol shot of betrayed Innocence, or the death groan of one of Sylvanus Cobb's heroes! Their sensibilities deadened. Ihelr sense of right perverted, their pnrlty of thonght tarnished, their taste for plain life despoiled the printing press, with its iron foot, hath dashed their lire out ! The bad newspaper would not give a penny a column for one of Marion Harlnnd's elevating stories of home life, or Kate Weston's por traiture of the drunkard's doom I No! There must he flash, nnd scum, and froth, and slime, and fire, and blood, and magnificent sin, and glitter of assassin's knife, and agonized look at the strange missive, and throwing up of both hands, and falling back with a dagger through the heart! While I speak there are thousands of people with feet on the ot toman, and the gas turned on down on the page, submerged, mind ano soui, in tne perusal or tins "uod-forsaken" periodical literature; and the Sabbath hours will be gone, and tho last church psalm float Into the skies, and the last Christian mother have put the hand of the little child under the coverlet for the night, before they will rouse up, as the city clock strikes the hour of midnight, to go up nervous to their pruyerless pillow, ever nnd anon twitching and starting in their sleep with moonlight adventures and hairbreadth escapes. one orthe proprietors of a great paper in this country gave his advice to young man then about to start a paper. If you want to succeed, said he, make your paper "trashy." Intensely "trashy" make It all "trash!" Brilliant ad vice for a young man Just entering thebuslness. It Is very often that, as a paper purifies Itself, its circulation decreases, and when a paper be comes positively religious It Is very apt to be come bankrupt, unless some benevolent and Christian men come up to sustain It by contri butions of monev and means. Not more than three or four religious papers in this country ore self-supporting. 1 ho reason is, the country cannot stand so much religion! Reduced to great poverty of circula tion, many of our roliglous papers are very meagre allairs. Not able to employ able con tributors, with their scissors they clip nearly nil their articles from other periodicals. Asa necessnry resort to save themselves, they often step aside from religious news and go to adver tising hardware, and clothes, and patent medi cines! So that the sheet professing to give us Sunday reading tells us of rare opportunities lor a bargain on Broadway or Market street. Hear it! Christian men and philanthropists! Many papers that nre most rapidly increasing to-day are unscrupulous. I have, obeying tho injunction of my text, "digged into this wall of abominations," and I declare that the facts are momentous aud ap paling. And to-day I put young men and women, and Christian parents and guardians on tho look-out; this stun" cannot be handlod without pollution. Away with it from parlor, and shop, and store! There Is so much news paper literature that Is pure, and cheap, and elegant; shove back this leprosy from your door. i sec in this presence to-night the represen tatives of nearly all the newspaper establish ments of Philadelphia. I thank you in the name of Christianity and civilization, for the enlightenment of ignorance, the overthrow of Iniquity, and the words you have uttered in the cause of God and your country. But I charge . you, lnthennnie of God, bolore whom you must account for the tremendous Influence you hold in the community, to consecrate your selves to higher endeavors. You are the men to fight back this invasion of corrupt literature. Lift up your right hand, and swear new alle giance to the cause of philanthropy nnd reli gion ! and when at last, standing on the plains of Judgment, you look out upon the unnum bered throngs over whom you have had influ ence, may it be found that you were among the mightiest energies that lifted men upon the exalted pathway that leaus to the renown of heaven. Better than to have sat in editorial chair, from which, with the finger of type, you decided the destinies of empires, hut decided them wrong, that you had been some dun geoned exile, who, by light or window, iron grated, on scraps of a New Testament leaf, picked, up from tho hearth, spelled out tho story of Him who taketh away the slu of tho world.
