Support Local They Excel as Advertising ledi ums and Constitute Greatest Editor Evening - Journal^PubJ*Bhln«rom^n^ !,r,,,to * From the New York Eveninf Journal, Jan. 10, 1912 CHE Hearst newspapers have more than once called the atten tion of business men and of citizens in general to the impor tant work that is done by the editors of the SMALLER NEWSPAPERS and to the great value of those newspa pers AS ADVERTISING MEDIUMS. IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THIS GOVERNMENT GOING, IMPOSSIBLE AT LEAST TO KEEP REPRESENTATIVE AND DEMO CRATIC GOVERNMENT ALIVE IN THIS COUNTRY, IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE THOUSANDS OF NEWSPAPER EDITORS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE LAND, EVERY ONE OF THEM A WATCHER AND AN OBSERVER, A VIGILANT POLICEMAN IN POLITICS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Wherever two railroads cross in the United States and there is a town or village, there is, fortunately for the country, a local editor. The .editor WATCHES THE TWO RAILROADS. HE WATCHES THE AFFAIRS OF HIS TOWNSItTP COUNTY STATE AND NATION. ' ' lie talks dpily or weekly to his fellow citizens concerning affaire that most vitally interest them. He is for them AN EYE THAT DOES NOT SLEEP, a man alert and devoted to those that ue hi* constituents. If the railroad crossing kills too many, if the railroads combine to charge too much or serve too poorly, if the judge, governor or mayor seems more of a railroad official than a people's official, the editor ia there to tell about it Big metropolitan newspapers with circulations running into many hundreds of thousands daily have a peculiar power of their own. BUT IF YOU TOOK ALL THE METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES AND WEIGHED THEM IN THE BALANCE AGAINST THE PRESS OF THE SMALL CITIES AND TOWNS IN AMERICA IT WOULD BE AS THOUGH YOU WEIGHED A CITY OF FICE BUILDING AGAINBT* PIKE'S PEAK, AND THE LOCAL PRBSt WOULD BE PIKE'S PEAK. The local editor speaks to his readers AS ONE FRIEND SPEAKS TO ANOTHER. They know him by sight. They know his record. They know the high fight that he has made and is making. They know for how small a reward he renders efficient, unselfish service. And A WORD from him means more than MANY COLUMNS from some anony mous and unknown*"editor of the big city." . ' : _ ' A man writing fearlessly in some congressman's or some senator's home town can do more to KEEP THAT PUBLIC OFFICIAL ''STRAIGHT" than all the metropolitan newspapers put together. Public men know the power of the local editor and of the local newspaper. It is a pity that the BUSINESS MEN OF THE COUNTRY ARE IGNORANT OF THAT POWER. The man who has something really worth while to advertise could, if he would use the local newspapers intelligently,, multiply his sale* by ten, MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN TO MILLIONS that do not now know him and put himself at the head of his line of competition. If the automobile manufacturers who attract attention just at thia moment would put their advertising intelligently in the local news papers, paying a good, fair rate and offering good value, they could very soon change the output of automobiles in America from 140,000 in one year, which was the record of 1910, TO FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND OR ONE MILLION IN ONE YEAR, and thia is no exaggeration. The smallest of the country newspapers has among its readers on« or five or ten or a hundred men that could be made to buy a car now and will buy one sooner or later. Some intelligent automobile manu facturer with the right kind of product will realize this and sell tens of thousands of cars through the local newspapers before his com petitors know what has happened. THE AVERAGE OF PROSPERITY AND OF WEALTH AMONG THE READERS OF A COUNTRY NEWBPAPER IS FAR GREATER THAN AMONG THE READERS OF A* METROPOLITAN DAILY, AND, IN PRO PORTION TO THE COST OF ADVERTISING, INTELLIGENT PUBLICITY THROUGH THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS GIVES BY FAR THE BEBT RESULTS. What we have said about automobile advertising refers to adver tising in other lines. The dwellers in the cities, readers of the metro politan dailies, have before their eyes the temptations and attractions of the great stores which cannot be reached by the reader of th.e coun try newspaper. If our business men realized their opportunities they wouid fight for parcels post, and jhey would MAKE OF EVERY COUNTRY NEWSPAPER AN ACTIVE DISTRIBUTING AGENCY, DOUBLING AND TREBLING THE COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY AND INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY. , This we have said before, and we shall say it again. Inasmuch as there are no Hearst newspapers in the country, inasmuch as our newspapers are published exclusively in the great cities of the coun try, we shall at least be credited with unselfishness in making a fight for local editors that DESERVE THE THANKS AND APPRE CIATION AND FINANCIAL ENCOURAGEMENT OF EV ERY GGGD CITIZEN. Very fev realize what it moans when a man undertakes the pub lication of £ laily or a weekly newspaper in a small place. The edi >r risks everything, poverty, bankruptcy, indifference of the pul.lic, 1 at best, his reward can be very small. * * * Manv r us, of course, would feel happier if we could begin on? work with a life pension that would free us from all care ever after ward. But the country editor goes to work with NO PENSION AND NO GUARANTY. He asks no pension, no cash in advance, only FAIR PLAY AND A CHANCE TO WORK ♦ ♦ * The country editor is the man who ought to have a pension for the work that he does, if any man ought to have it. He is also the man, as it happens, Twho would not take a pension from the steel trust, or from the railroad that runs through bis town, or from any other agency of public exploitation. / That is why we have in the past and today tried and shall in the fu ture try to impress on our reader* and on big advertisers thefact that XHEY SHOULD DO.

AND THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES WIDELY AND WISELY IN THE LOCAL PRESS GETS HIB MONEY BACK MANY TIMES OVER IN CASH RETURNS. The people should not be niggardly in support of those that do good work. Business men and the public generally should be espe cially BROAD MINDED AND LIBERAL in their support of the local newspapers that REPRESENT AND TENSIFY PUBLIC OPINION throughout the country.

Text of the Lesson, Mark i, 14-28 Memory Verses, 16, 17— Golden Text, Matt, ix, 37, 38—Commentary pre pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. According to the harmony of the gos pels, it would seem that Jesus returned to where John was preaching, and at> he cried on two different days. "Be hold the Lamb of God!" two of John's disciples. Andrew and probably John, the brother of James, followed Jesus and spent some time with Him one day. after which Andrew found his brother. Simon, and brought him to Jesus, and the Inference is that John brought his brother James. Then Jesus went Into Galilee to Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter, and called Philip to follow Him. After this Philip brought Nathanael. and thus we see the first six disciples ac cording to John i. 29-51. They seem to have received several calls before they left alt to follow Him fully. The lesson today Indicates a. call to An drew and Peter as they were casting a net Into the sea. and to James and John as they were in the ship with their father mending their nets. The account of this incident is found in Matt, lv, 18-22, as well as in our lesson verses from Mark. The incident of Luke v. 1-11, seems to have been wholly different and at a different time. At that time He used Simon's boat as a pulpit and then filled both his boat and that of his partners. James and John, with fishes. We must ever distinguish between Chris tians and disciples. A Christian is one who truly receives Jesus Christ as his Saviour and thus becomes a child of God, justified freely by His grace (John 1. 12: Rom. lit, 24; v# 1). There are no degrees In salvation, for all who are in Christ are,equally saved by His precious blood/ He obtained eternal redemption for all, and all who receive the gift of God, which is eter nal life, have It without money or works of any kind on their part. Dis cipleshlp follows, and as it is so costly to the believer few are willing to pay th 6 price; hence the whole hearted dis ciples are comparatively few, and there are many degrees in disclpleship and many calls to obtain the few. See Luke xlv, 2G. 27, 33; Matt, x, 37, 38: xvi, 24. Having saved us fully, freely and forever. He desires as to be ever, only, ail for Himself. His own special property, that He may live His life In ns and reveal Himself through us to the world (Ps. Iv, 3: Tit ii, 14, R. V.; II Thess. iv, 10. 11). The ministry of John the Baptist seems to have been very brief, and, having been imprison ed because hated by a wicked woman, he was in due time beheaded, and the. Lord Jesus suffered it to be so, al though He said that no greater was ever born of woman (Matt xi, 11). W« cannot understand, but we must have uubounded confidence in God After John was pu£ fn .prison Jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God. urging men to repent and believe the gospel (verses 14, 15).* Both John and Jesus and also the twelve preached that the kingdom was at hand, the kingdom plainly foretold by all the prophets, a kingdom of peace and righteousness under a right eous king, before whom all kings will fall down and whom all nations will serve. Then shall the nations learn war no more, and from a righteous Is rael At the center, with Jerusalem as the throne of the Lord, the earth will soon be filled with the glory of the Lord (Isa. xxxii, 1, 17; 11, 4; Jer. 111, 17; Ps. lxxli, 11). Truly, it is worth while to follow such a leader through all trials to such a kingdom and to walk worthy of it and Him (Matt, xvi; 27; I Thess. il, 12; I Pet v, 10). We may so know Him as to be blind and deaf to all but His face and His voice, and thus He will make us fishers of men to complete His elect church during this age of the postponement of the kingdom, because they said, "We have uo king but Caesar," "We will not have this man to reign over us." In the latter part of our lesson we find Him In the synagogue in Caper naum on the Sabbath day and so teaching that all were astonished at His doctrine, for He tanght with au thority. The words were not His, but His Father's, fo* He said only what the Father told Him to say (John xii. 49; xiv, 10; vxii, 8). Power belongeth unto God, and where the word of a king is there Is power (Ps. ixll, 12 (Eccl. vlii, 4). On the night of His ar rest His two words "I am" sent the Roman soldiers to the ground, for it was the same voice which said. "Let there be light"-(Gen. i, 3). A demon possessed man was in the synagogue, and the evil spirit knew Him and call ed Him Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God (verse 24), for the demons believe and tremble (Jas. 11. 10). It Is not believing About Jesus Christ that saves, else all demons might be saved, but It is submission to Him as God and the reception of Him as the Saviour of sinners. See bow the demons confess what many intelligent religious people today refuse to be lieve—that Jesus is God. They also be lieve in a place of torment into which He will cast them at the appointed time (Matt viii. 29V This, too, is ridi culed by many, but as truly as this demon obeyed the voice of Jesus and came out of the man so will all peo ple obey Him to whom He will say, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into ever lasting fire prepared for the devil an# his angels" (Matt, xrr, 41).
