should for th" most part drop their Imper

new-paper writers. Many of the Htroiitfcst

While this arr:iiu;c'ncirt would be a fair
nnd jUst t liiii.c for ne wspeper writers, It would
be a defense for the pu d.". Ii le sometimes
true that things damak'liin to private charuc
ler sire said. Who is resp lUsl'de Ills the
" we'' of tiie editorial or rcportona! columns.
Every man lu every profession or occupation
ou'i:t to b respoiislbl" for what ho does.
No honorable man will ever writetluit which
lie wouid be afraid to su-u. But thousands
of per-.ui.- havesurlered from tiie Imperson
ality cd newspapers. What ea" one private
citi.'.en wronea In his reputaliou do in a
contest witu misrepresentation multiplied
into twenty or llfty tbousau I copies? An
injustice dou" in print Is inimitably worse
thau an injustice done In private life. Dur
ing lo-s ol temper a mau may ray that for
which lie will lie sorry In b u minutes, but a
newspaper luju-tlee has first to 1m written,
M't nt In type, then the proof taker, oil am
read and corrected, and theu for six or leu
hour the presses are bu-y ruiiuiuif oil the
l-sue, PJenty of titiid to o jrrecl. Plenty ot
1 1 me to cool off Plenty of time to repent.
But all that is hldduu lu the Impersonality
of a newspaper. It will be a lotiK step for
w.ir l when nil is changed, and newspaper
writers k'"t credit for the good aud art held
resp "nsiole for theevil.
IftAuother step forward for newspaper. lorn
will bo wheu in our colleges aud universale-
we i. pen opportunities for preparing
can. II Jute, fur the editorial chair. We have
in such Institutions me Ileal departments,
law departments. Why not editorial depart

poslntt a newspaper Ufa had an Institution
to whloh they might ko to loarn tho qualtfl
oatlons. tha renponslhllltloa, tho trials, tha
temptations, tho dangers, th magninonnt
opportunities) of newspaper llffl. Let thnro
be a lectureship In which there shall appear
the lendlnir editor of the United State
tailing the story of their struggles, their
victories, their mistakes, bow they workod
and what they fmind out to bo the 'ssst
way of working. There will bo stromr
men who will ollmb up without au-h aid
Into editorial power and efficiency. Ho do
men climb up to success In other branihe
by sheer icrlt. But If we want learned Insti
tutions to make lawyers and artists and doo.
tora nnd ministers, we much more need
learned Instltatton to make editors, win
oeotipy a position of Influence a hundredfold
(rrenter. I do not put the truth too strongly
when I sny the most potent InOtieueo for
ifood on earth is a rood editor and the m st
potent Influence for evil Is a Istd one. The
best way to re-enfonand Improve the news
papers is to endow editorial professorates.
When will Princeton or llarv.trd or Yalo or
liorhester ld tho way?
Another Mossing of the newspaper Is the
foundation It lavs for aceunite nistorvof tho
time In which we live. We for the most part
blindly iru ess about tho ages that antedate
the newspaper nnd are dependent upon the
prejudices of Shis or that historian. But
after a hundred or two years what a splen
did opportunity the historian will have to
tench the people the lesson of this day. Our
Bancrofts got from the eirly newspapers of
this eountry. from tho Boston News-Letter,
the New York Unr.otte, and The American
Itaff Btig, and II yal Gazetteer and Indepen
dent Chnmlcle. and Massachusetts Hnv. and
the Philadelphia Aurora, Aooountsof Perry's
victory, ami Hamilton iiuei, ami Wash
ington's death, and Boston massacre,
and the oppn'sslve foreign tax on luxuries
which turncl Boston harbor Into a teapot,
and Paul Itevere's midnight rld, mi l Bhodo
island rebellion, and houth Carolina mil I-
flenMon. tllut what a field for the ehronlcier
of the grent future when he opens the lllesot
a niiniiren stan iar.i American newspapers,
giving the mln ut la of all things occurring tin
der the iocaI, political, civloslitstlcal. In
ternational headings! Five hundred years
fnm now, If the world huts so long, tho
student looking for stirring, decisive history
will puss by tho misty corridors of other cen
turies nnd say to the libraries: "Find mo
the volumes that give the century in which
tho American Presidents were assassinated,
the civil War ena"td and the cotton gin, tho
steam locomotive and telegraph and electric;
fieti au I telephone nnd cylinder presses wero
uvented."
Once more I remark that a good news
paper is a blessing as au evangelistic In
fluence. You know then' Is u great change
in our day taking place. All the secular
newspapers of the day for lam led speak
ing now of the religious newspapers all the
secular uewspapcrs of the .lav discuss all the
questions of Ood, eternity and the d'-a I. nnd
all the ouestioiis of the past, present and
future. Thore is not a single doctrine of
theology but has been discussed In the last
ten years bv the secular newspapers of the
country, 'they gather up all th" news of nil
the earth bearing on religious (.u'dects, uu l
tlieu they scatter tli news abroad nir.ril.
Th" Cnrlstian newspaper will ! the right
wiug of tlie npocalyptlc.iiugel. Tli" cylinder of
the Christianized printing press will be the
trout wlpxd of the Lord's chariot. I take
th ' music, of this day, and I do not mark it
diminuendo I mark It cresc'iido. A pas
tor on a Sabbath preach".- to a few hundred,
or a few thousand people, and on Mondav.
or during tlie week, the printing pr.s will
tako the tarr.e sermon and prci'di It to mill
Ions of people. Ood speed the printing
press! Ciml save the printing press! Uod
Christianize the printing press!
When I see the printing press standing
with the electric telegraph on the one eldo
gathering the material, and the lightning
ii press train on the other side waiting for
the tons of folded sheets of newspaper. 1 pro
