#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0787
now for so many years by many churches the world
over, and also to the topics of the International Sunday
School Lessons, the union programmes of the Christian
Endeavor Societies, and many other organizations.
Admitting even that a degree of force and effectiveness
might be lost in some individual cases by following "a
cut and dried programme," the question is whether this
would not be vastly more than offset in general by the
mighty impetus which the united and combined efforts
of the press of the country could give to any reform
movement.
It is suggested as a further step, to secure the best
results from the combined utterances of the press on a
given topic, that on the week succeeding such publica-
tion each paper in the combination should give to its
readers as large a number of brief extracts as possible,
from the editorials of its contemporaries of the previous
week. Such a presentation might be made more effect-
ive than the first, as it would show to the readers of
each paper, as nothing else could, something of the
strength of general public sentiment on the question at
issue. It is also suggested that a still mightier impetus
may be given to these reform movements under con-
sideration, if the churches, Y. M. C. Associations,
Christian Endeavor Societies, and religious and reform-
atory agencies in general, may be induced to join in the
union programme as far as practicable.
Following, will he found a list of the newspapers
which have thus far agreed to follow the union pro-
gramme of topics. An attempt has been made to secure
a fairly representative list, but not a very extensive one.
It is thought that the list of newspapers approving
and the commendations which follow, are sufficient to
secure the adoption of the plan by all who would lie
inclined to adopt it under any circumstances. The plan
is simple and speaks for itself.
This circular has been delayed somewhat so that it
will be impossible for many papers to make adequate
preparation for the first topic on the list. But this will
not prevent their falling in line with the others that
follow.
While it is by no means necessary to the success of
this movement that the names and exact number of
those entering into it should be made known to any
one, it may serve a useful purpose hereafter if all the
editors receiving this circular note who decide to follow
the programme, so far as practicable, wdl indicate
that fact by a postal card, or otherwise, sent to La Salle
A. Maynard, Boom 21, Times Building, New York.
Suggestions and other communications in regard to the
plan will be gladly received.
