Cleric calls for beauty, truth

Barbados’ leading newspaper company has been challenged to be a vehicle that brings hope to the nation.
This admonition came from Reverend Dr Von E. Watson during his sermon to family and friends of the Nation Publishing Company gathered to celebrate THE NATION’s 40th anniversary at St Mary’s Anglican Church yesterday.
Watson, who fashioned his delivery against the trials of the biblical personality Job, told the builders of THE NATION publications that there were going to have moments of triumph and sorrow along their journey.
He said, however, that he wanted to challenge THE NATION to be the nation’s newspaper.
“And it is not about being the nation’s newspaper by virtue of your sales pitch but by the quality of your production.” (JS)
