The Press And The Churches One of the most easily miscon- structed relationships in the publish- tnjr field is that between the news- paper and the churches in the com- munity it serves. The newspaper man asks himself the question: "What should be my attitude toward the churches?" He endeavours to answer that question so that he will be for both to the churches and to himself. Churches sometimes assume the attitude that as they are supported solely by voluntary donations, and a.- they are a spiratual and moral force in the community, any publicity de- sired should be given without charge by the newspaper. Strangely enough the churches do not expect the same privilege from any other business or profession. It should be remembered at the outset that most publishers are church members, and that as individ- uals they are decidec^y interested in the welfare of the church with which they are affiliated. They give regu- larfly and as generously as their circumstances permit. They attend the various functions designed to nlse funds for continuance of the Church's work. As such they must t>e considered as any other church member who is conscientiously striv- ing to support the church and what 3t stands for. While newspapers are more gener- ous with space to churches than to other institutions, this is simply a recogniion by the press of the premier place held by the church in the spiratual and moral sphere in the community. However the church has no legal right to expect the press to give more generously than any indi- vidual church member. It is not ex- pected of the man who sells the church fuel, or the public utilities which serve the church. In larger Centres it is not expected that the organist should work without re- Onuneration. The press, we believe, will always recognize the position and value of the church in the community. It will realize that the community without the church would be like a rudderless ship, not knowing whence the tide of events and fortune might lead it. The press will continue to give ser- vice to the church as one important institution to another, but the church must also realize that to continue its service, nt only to the church but to the community, the newspaper must have an income, and that income can only come from the space it sells in its columns. This same reasoning must apply to charaitable organiza- tions in the community. To them the publisher and the men and women who work for the publisher give gen- erously of their private means and of their time and talent. They too must prosper if they are to continue the support to the church, and all kindred organizations seeking to carry out an uplifting work in the community. EUGENIA OUR BRITISH FLEET (By Poet's Friend) Hold on; you ships of State, Who guard our freedom's shores; Hold on; till some sweet day, When victory will be ours. Sail on; you sea born warrior's pride of the British fleet; Sail on; till your duty's done, Then rest at victory's feet. Bear high; your royal banner, Tis the ensign of British might; The flag of a mighty nation; With Honour, Truth and Right. And when in the midst of battle, God's own hand may save; To take His own from the wicked., And from a sinful grave. And when the day of victory comes, Let us seal our faith in Thee; And no more through ocean waves, Search our brothers of the sea.
