Show THE ARGUS. 12 flMtb of the jpress. YANGELIST Mood y has a Ter good opinion of j the newspapers. In an eastern city recently he said of journalism: I think it is one of the most ennobling and educating of professions. In my opinion, every theological student in the land ought to. work on a newspaper at least a year in order to study human nature and gain the knowledge that it is impossible to receive in the academy, at college and in the seminary. That's the trouble with preachers. They never get to know human nature ; they don't know the men to whom they are preaching ; and with whom they are dealing ; they havent a knowledge of human nature ; the best way to acquire all of which is through work on the daily press. So you see. I am a believer in the newspaper and of the great practical work which it performs. You people reach thousands where we reach and the results are correspondingly large. hun-drud- s, The Logan Journal mentions the fact that its canvasser frequently finds houses where no kind of a newspaper or periodical is taken, and it says : In this year of our Lord, with its varied, rapid and cheap means of distributing general news ; in Utah, with its magnificent free school system and low percentage of illiteracy; at this time, when the thirst for immediate information regarding contemporaneous events is so general that even children can discuss intelligently events occurring in the most distant parts of the world, is it not sad to find a man who is not only willing to remain in ignorance himself, but decrees that, mentally, his family shall be as completely isolated from the rest of the world as though they were castaways on some small isle in the midst of the Pacific?
