The Demand for Sensational Literature

By Editor

DEMAND creates supply in the line of sensational literature as well as in other things. Circulars advertising "sensational matter" have come to our table, which are "prepared with the view of satisfying the demand," etc., etc. We have no desire to rehash this circular before our readers. We do not want the "sensational page." It bodes ill for a generation whose minds can only be satisfied with such a class of reading. God's message to man, upon which depends eternal results, should be of so much greater interest that this kind of literature should have no place in any paper. "The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness." Prov. 15:14.
