Down at Grants Pass the other Sun­
day one o f the local newspapermen
feeling the need o f some excitement,
went to church.
The minister had
chosen for his subject that morning the
value of the virtues of honesty and
truthfullriess. A fte r preaching an im
passioned and eloquent sermon, the
minister, wishing to make a prac'icsl
application o f his remarks asked every
brother present who paid all o f hi;
debts promptly and who fe lt that he
could truthfully claim to be strictly
honest to rise to his feet.
Every man
in the room promptly stood up but the
lone editor. The preacher looked at
him pityingly and asked “ Can’ t you
stand up, brother? Don’ t you pav your
bil s?” The editor sbiok his head.
“ Why don’ t you?” thundered the
preacher.
“ Because,”
replied the
newspaperman,
"everyone o f these
fellows who are now standing up are
owing me for from one to ten years’
subscription; I can’ t pay my bills until f
they pay me.”
