As I understand the promise we made, we were not to ask any question about 'Will it pay ?' but all our action was to be based on the one question, 'What would Jesus do ?' Acting on that rule of conduct, I have been obliged to lose nearly all the money I have accumulated in my paper.

It is not necessary for me to go into details.

There is no question with me now, after the three weeks' experience I have had, that a great many men would lose vast sums of money under the present system of business if this rule of Jesus was honestly applied.

I mention my loss here because I have the fullest faith in the final success of a daily paper conducted on the lines I have recently laid down, and I had planned to put into it my entire fortune in order to win final success.

As it is now, unless, as I said, the Christian people of Raymond, the church members and professing disciples, will support the paper with subscriptions and advertisements, I cannot continue its publication on the present basis." Virginia asked a question.
