MINISTERS FINE TRIBUTE.
“ This is the place and tune to pay a tribute to the public Press on the subject of morality,” said the Rev. W. J. Elliott to the Methodist Conference, in the course of liis\ presidential!address. “ There is no Press in the world today with its influence more on the side of morality and wholesome living than our own. In this way it is helping to keep the people in sympathy with those great essentials which make lor abiding worth. AVhatever mercenary motives may be charged against the Press the moral motives arc not subordinated to them. Its probity and patriotism are above suspicion. It may appeal’ to defer more to the wishes and tastes of the people than it did a docade ago, but it cannot be accused of being on the down grade. From . a literary, artistic, and thought-provok-ing point of view, the Press has more regard for cultured treatment and moderation of statement tlian ever before. Wo should be grateful for its criticism and censorship. The pulpit ami the Press should form a more supreme alliance in the interests of truth and soberness.”
