AWVIAT WAS ceilalnly an inter
3 csting speecli made by John
-L l. Rocketeller "the liehest
man in the woild," tlie Now
Voik Sun calls him on Tuesday even
ing befote the young men's Bible class
of the Kifth Avenue Baptist chuicli
in New Yoik city, and lepoitcd at
length In the New- Yoik papeis of yes
lculay. Its subject was the best ways
of giving, and the speaker told why,
in his nmueious donations for relig
ious, cducitional or chaiitablo pur-potc-,
he always makes it a condition
ot bis gift that otheis shall giw in
total amount a like sum. Ills idea
is to cncouiage llbeiality in otheis, to
.stimulate tlio habit of co-operation In
VWillhl' unit 'Slllnlinfc.n t.ilil lrt"
"the pump that stnieti water for the;
city should wnik only the suction pait.
The water 'would 'oou ueioiuo .stag
nant." That tentencQ .suiioutuls the
whole philosophy of giving.
Hut it was a pei.-onal touch In Mr,
Rockefellers little speech that we wish
moio especially to call attention to,
"I belles i'," said he, "a gift than which
mi other Is moio valuable) Is the gift
or honest laboi giving a man steady
work. 1 am not an oiator nor an c-du-i
itor, but Just a business man. I did
not come heiq to make a speech, but
thoie is oiu" thing upon which I would
like to sav ,i wonl. I am engaged in
a businefcs that tor Unity eu.s has

Yet papeis of this (lass .-up ably
edited, sometimes even btllllantlv

they ii to not bigoted, they .up not
"plenetk; iliey aie haully polemical.
They have bulled the "odium tlien-
logicutn"; '.hey do not, as a uile, seek
to calt their tenets at tho ppensp ot
other Cluisli.ni associations. Tliev
contain many interesting at tides on
(.lunch, Ilibllc.il and theological sub
jects which should appeal to eides
iastic.il suppoit and lay appicciatlon;
yet with all thop advantngc-, the ic
ligious iiPwspijiPi as such is decay
ing. As theie is no usiilt without Its
piedisposing rau , we have to seek
one for this litei.uy phenomenon.
AYheic 11 !- to be located is nol exactly
dear, but if it is ;iot wholly due to
tho --ectilai Izatlon ot tlio ldigloui
new sp.ip"-, it is abnost so. Tlie sj u-riuti'-ui
ot such a journal as the New
Yotk Independent bis, naturai'y and
inevitably tiansfoimecl it fiom a ic
liglous louimil into .in admirable
weekly leview ol cuticnt political, li
n.incinl and social tuple. . It iepn
sents at tlie pics.mt day the ainiy and
navy qulti a much as the chuuh.
The Independent dues not stand alone
in tills icspect, although it is the
most notable example of the evolu
tion of a lellgious newspaper into a
secular pciiodic.il.
In entering into competition with the
secular neuspapeis in their own Held,
the lellgious journals become neither
fish, flesh noi good led belling. A
lehash of tho week's news in one foim
or another, can Inlng' no intellectual
enjoyment to the family that takes the
daily newspaper, no matter how re
fined tho cdltoiial gilding may be. An
Insatiable thiist lot ikws docs not
signify an appetite foi ancient hls
toiy. And vet it is to tlie sjmpulhv
of the intelligent family, with its one
or moi c moiniug newspaptis on tho
bieaklast table, thai the ldigious
journal must appeal lor suppoit.
Another cause ol the luvolution in
religious Jouinalism has been biought
about, it is supposed, by the moio in
tense Intel est which the chinch is tak
ing in toeial aftaiis In what i.s known
as the ainelloiation ol tlio masses,
sphltuaily and ethically, but above all,
moially and sooially. It is said tiuly
enough that a degraded or hungiy man
has not the saving giace to bo thank
fully piaciful for his alilietlon. It is
also said that until the chinch be
comes inoi e at ti active than the saloon
to thoe .'ho ate tempted to choose
between tin m, the saloon will leceivo
Us full pationage; that it Is as much
the duty nf the chinch to educate thu
dtlpii as it is to mould tlio Chils
tlan, and that in .meli a dispensation
tho lellgious nowspapei mutually
should be a minor of the times. This
Is not tair to the chinch. Thoie am
some lew nilnlsteilal eveinpliis of the
stionuous life who ttansfoim the par
ish chuii h into a puochiul litiicau,
emasculate it of its spliltuulit and
put in Its stead a system of coiporatc
altiuism. That, however. Is nut ie
ligion in the sense In which rit. r.iul
