Inc.) The Rev. Dr. .Kcnmer iisks, "Do newspaper men read the Bible? If so, why do they read Tliey do, nearly all of them. Here are the reasons for the reading : Religion is the oldest, most powerful institution for the help of mankind. Newspapers are among reeeut instilitions inr public serviee. L Every newspaper man needs "he Bible, hnrches need the useful publicity of newspapers, and receive less "of it than is their due. A writer or editor should know the English lanfjuane. The Hible is the best teacher ot hnglish. ' I f 1 Job and Isaiah could do more to correct the deplorable weak ness and carelessness of news paper English than all other teachers combined. The chapter in which Job curses his day contains energy enough to supply 40 solemn edi tors for a month. " ' . The beauty and power in Isaiah will pull any tired writ- ir from his rut of repetition, ' making him realize what power jhcre is in words, , "' Newspaper men ' read ' the Bible because it supplies them with arguments, complete, con vincing, not to be answered. ' Ileywood Broun wishes to rebuke Episcopalian gentlemen who expressed a desire that ne groes go to some other church, lie found his rebuke in the Bible.4 (hrist did not say "I am the light. of the white world," or "Suffer little Cnucasian chil dren to come unto Me," or "Love thy Nordic neighbor as thyself."'
