The Methodist ministers of New York

the ministers and laymen will obtain

when the preacher ceases to move his

"Should the newspapers print news
of crime, vice conditions, aud the like.
news which Is of the linderworld? Ed

church men. The Bible Itself publish

its best men, but it also publishes tbe
beautiful side of life, making the mor

more attractive than the brutish.
