“THE ATTITUDE OF THE PRESS
TOWARDS RELIGION.
At the regular meeting of the Y. M.
C. A. last night Dr. H. T. Mussleman
spoke to a good house on “The Atti
tude of the Press Toward Religion.”
Dr. Mussleman is an able and inter
esting speaker. He is the editor of
two Texas school magazines, the
“Texas School Journal” and the “Ru
ral School Advocate.”
Every student should understand the
position of the press on the question
of religion.
In the word “press” Dr. Mussleman
includes all the daily, weekly and
monthly papers and magazines that are
published. There is a great differ
ence in the treatment of religious mat
ters by these classes of publications.
Ten years ago the daily newspapers
paid very little attention to religion or
to religious meetings. Finally, how
ever, the press began to realize that
there might be some interesting news
in religion. It was found that the
daily press must have sensatonal news
to satisfy their readers. The first
men to attract much attention were the
Evangelist Chapman and his clown-
singer. At first only a few lines were
given to them in the newspapers, but
later they took some pictures of the
singer in his comic poses, and actually
gave them as much as a whole two-
column write-up. Billy Sunday was
the next man to attract much atten
tion. When he jumped upon the pulpit
and shouted that “some men are so
low down that they will have to take
an aeroplane to get to hell,” that was
real news, and the leading Sunday pa
pers wrote him up, devoting many
pages of their supplements to the evan- “And there,” said the high-browed
gelist and his work. This only serves young man to the sweet thing, “is

as an example of what the daily press
considers “news.’ Now the daily pa
pers take special note of religious
gatherings, such as big conventions.
As a rule, the editors of the daily pa
pers are not great church men| They
are not opposed to religion, but are
indifferent, or only friendly.
The weekly papers do not very often
refer to religious matters. They do
not use as much sensational news as
do the daily papers. The country
weekly could exert a great influence
if properly used. But often the editor
neglects religion in his columns, evn
though he may be a good church man.
Our sanest, most thoughtful and best
work along religious lines comes in
the monthly and semi-monthly maga
zines. It is the class of work that is
read by our leading men of all pro
fessions.
One of the startling facts of today
is the lack of church attendance. Once
the church used to be the most poten
tial factor in the molding of a com
munity, but now this power has been
largely shifted to the press. There
fore, it is imperative that the papers
deal with religion in a broad, open-
minded way, in order to counteract this
growing dimunition n church attend
ance.
Religion should be a part of one’s
education, and the press is a dominate
power in the education of our people.
Therefore, it is up to us to see that
religious matters find a regular space
in our papers. It behooves you then
to get close to your editor and to in
fluence him in developing the religious
department of your own paper.

“Oh, gee!” she exclaimed, “I didn’t
know that astronomy was so up to
date. That word is found every
where, isnt it?”
Whereupon the young man sighed
as the wind passing gently through
the pine trees.
