Many people have a mistaken impression that the so-called higher criticism has injured the integrity of the Bible. Higher criticism is simply a study of the frame in which the word of God is presented to us, and it cannot affect in the slightest degree, the picture within the frame. This distinction is sharply drawn in the higher criticism, but unfortunately there is a difference between higher criticism and higher critics. If the Bible has suffered from its critics, it has been from those who have transcended the bounds of higher criticism and who have disregarded its very first...
...present policy of exclusion should be maintained and vigorously enforced. (a) It is constitutional, under the Supreme Court decision of May 15, '93. (b) It will not materially affect our commercial relations with China. (c) It is the best policy. (1) Benefits the Chinamen legally here. (2) Is easy to comply with. (3) Is not too strict, our former laws having been grossly violated...

...years. This was truer, however, in the first than in the second half. Brilliant individual work by Butterworth and Thorne was admirably combined with almost perfect team play; so perfect, in fact, that the few cases in which Harvard was individually supperior to Yale in the line, did not affect the result to any great extent. There was the same elock-like regularity in their movements and wonderful steadiness under all conditions which is one of the striking features of Yale elevens. The fierce, sudden onslaughts upon the line made particularly by Butterworth, although also by Thorne with fine effect...
