Mr. Charles M. Sheldon, the author of “In His Steps,” proposes to raise $1,000,000 for the immediate establishment of a Christian daily newspaper. We agree most heartily with the Christian Work that “that sum can be better employed than by sinking it in establishing a daily religious newspaper. Such a paper would be of no use, and would be a failure in advance, that catered only to Christian readers.” The Christian Work thinks that there is “a bit of Christian selfishness in this proposition.” “We have an idea that all that is needed is the best utilizing of the forces we have,—the church, the home, the Sunday-school. Put the Christian life into these as it should be put, and the dailies will be all right. Anyway, we would rather see a million raised for putting Christianity into the home than for starting a daily Christian paper, with its inevitable conflicts in the political field; no, we don’t need that.” Suppose that such a paper were started, how long would it last?
