Tremendous Influence of the Newspaper Press in Society
The sermon by Rev. T De Witt Talmage celebrates the newspaper press as a vast educator and conduit for the Gospel, recounting how stenography reports and syndicates spread 2,000 sermons to millions. It contrasts free presses with despotic regimes, praises journalism’s role in enlightenment, and warns of harmful papers while urging editors to uphold virtue through powerful, lightning-like influence.
