Once considered the "best American newspaperman London has ever
had," Edward Price Bell (1869--1943) helped invent the ideal of a
professional foreign news service at the late and great Chicago
Daily News, which in its heyday had the second-largest daily
newspaper circulation in the United States. At the turn of the
twentieth century, professional overseas reporting was still an
experiment. The Chicago Daily News's visionary owner and publisher
Victor Lawson was not certain how to organize the service or even
what kind of news it should cover. Bell, who had distinguished
himself as a young reporter in Chicago, became the anchor for the
service when Lawson sent him to London in 1900. The course he set
established the standard for the New York Times and other
prestigious American newspapers. Unfortunately, few journalists or
scholars are familiar with Bell's contributions, in part because
his autobiography remained archived at the Newberry Library in
Chicago. In Journalism of the Highest Realm, Jaci Cole and John
Maxwell Hamilton have edited and annotated Bell's story, focusing
on his lively account of the early days of the Chicago Daily News's
foreign service as well as the dramatic stories his correspondents
covered. James F. Hoge, Jr., the last editor-in-chief of the
Chicago Daily News and present editor of Foreign Affairs, sets the
stage for Bell's memoir with an informative foreword on the
evolution of foreign news gathering over the last century.
A bright-eyed midwestern teenager who learned journalism on the
job at a small newspaper in Terre Haute, Indiana, Bell quickly
established himself as an enterprising reporter. Moving on to
Chicago, he became the Daily News's go-to man. He was assigned big
stories and landed interviews with leading politicians, a knack
that became a trademark of his overseas reporting. Over more than
two decades in London, Bell entrenched himself in politics and
culture, sending back thoughtful background and analysis of current
events. In his memoir, Bell recounts his exclusive wartime
interviews with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, and
Lord Richard Haldane, the minister of war; a later sit-down with
the charismatic Il Duce, Benito Mussolini; and his rather tense
exchanges with former vice president Charles Dawes, American
ambassador to Britain.
The respect Bell commanded among British elites and his years of
experience as a London insider thrust him into a diplomatic role.
Bell became an unofficial envoy to the British government and also
a conduit for British views to the United States and its leaders.
After Bell returned to Chicago in the early 1920s, the Daily News
dispatched him on special missions to Europe and Asia to interview
leaders about world peace. His accounts were published in two books
and earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1930s.
Despite this acclaim -- indeed, to some extent because of it --
Bell fell out of favor when new owners acquired the newspaper in
1931, and he retired to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.With Journalism
of the Highest Realm Cole and Hamilton put this great newspaperman
into a broader context. As they show in their thoughtful
introduction, Bell and the Daily News continually grappled with
problems that still bedevil overseas correspondence. Foreign news,
they show, has always been an enterprise that is at once valuable
and vulnerable.

About the Book Human Nature and the Devine Nature of God is a new
dispensation of the scripture revealing new things about the Old
Testament and The New Testament. A book of Rememberance It was
prophesied by Malachi (3:16-18) that a book of remembrance would be
written that would alow you to descern between righteousness and
wickness, between one who serve God and one who does not serve him.
Think you know right from wrong? think again The promise of Christ
Christ said,"These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but
the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs,
but I shall shew you plainly of the Father." (John 16:25) Christ
spoke of the Father to the Jews saying, "Yet ye have not known him:
and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a lie like unto
you: But I know him, and keep his saying." (John.8:55) The time
have come that all must know the Father and, this is the book that
will plaimly identify the Father This promise was comfirmed through
a prophesy to Jeremiah(31:34)saying.They shall teach no more every
man his brother, saying know the Lord: for they shall all know me
from the least of them unto the greatest of them. Find out why the
Ten Commandments was written on stone. Learn God's definitdion for
Love, it will suprise and delight you, and much more. Christ came
to do two things, and that was to fulfill the law and to fulfill
all righteousness, Human nature and the devine nature of God will
tell you how this was acccomplished. Christ changed the law, and
gave us a new law, human nature and the divine nature of God will
identify the change in the law and the new law and will identify
Christ.s authority to change law and give new law. A bout the
Author I am a layman not trained to conform to any specific church
doctrine. The churches are divided in their consept of Christ and
Chrisitanity, I believe that Christ is one and his doctrine is one.
I have denied my self the influence and contamination of their
doctrines in search of the true undefiled doctrine of Christ. I do
not depend upon academic excellence, or human intellengence, to
descern the scripture, only the grace of God. The things conatined
in this book is not the product of human inventions, but by the
spirit as it was revealed to me. Theology is the study of God and
his doctrine, I do not study God. I do not have the intellectual
copasity to study him.I depend upon him to reveal himself to me. A
person may question my ability to reach God, but they can not
question his ability to reach me, and I estsblish my relatdionship
with him based upon this principle. I look at the world and I try
to understand the reason for the condition that we face, we have
the have and have nots, the oppressed and the oppressor, the
compassionate and the apathetic, and why mankind is the most
vicious and feared beast on earth. Every nation on earth have an
army to protect mankind from himself, and yet the scripture state
that man was created in the image of God, how can this be, if God
was the embodiment of death nothing could live. I have listen to
the local, national, and world leaders, educators, ministers and
philosophers concerning these things, and their logic and reasoning
all come down to complexity and confusion. I decided to seek the
answere from God himself to find out what he had to say about the
situation and the solution to the problem, and Human Nature and the
Devine Nature of God is the answere I received, see what you think.
