...PHILLIPS BROOKS, D. D., has kindly consented, in accordance with the petition of last year, which has been seconded this year by the Christian Brethren and St. Paul's Societies, and many other of the students, to preach a course of four sermons during January and February, in St. John's Memorial Chapel. The first will be delivered next Sunday evening, January 16, at 7.30 o'clock. A part of the church will be reserved for students until 7.20, and it is hoped that there will be a large number present...
...however, that "J. N. M." is by no means so ferocious as might be supposed from the warmth with which the controversy is conducted. So small is, in fact, his bump of pugnaciousness, that he would fain let the matter rest, but for the honor the president of the Christian Brethren did him in answering his remarks in person, and under his own signature. That this gentleman thought it necessary to come to the front, in spite of the dauntless onslaught of "V. I. Z.," in the Echo, shows the true value of "V. I. Z.'s" criticism...
...Society of Christian Brethren is one of the few College societies that have a distinctly religious end in view.

It saw that its constitution, as it stood, practically declared that unless a man believe the peculiar doctrines laid down in it, he cannot be expected to do the work of a good man, and is, therefore, unfit to be a member of the society. A movement was therefore set on foot to amend the constitution so as to admit men into the society whose character could not be impeached, whose...
This action, or rather inaction, is to be regretted all the more as it shuts out not only students against whom no charge can be brought but that of unsoundness in Christian doctrine, but also all Unitarians and Universalists, who claim, and justly claim, to be Christians; perhaps not as good Christians as those called Evangelical, but still Christians. It is to be hoped that the society will reconsider its recent action, and open its doors to all whose characters are spotless, without reference to their beliefs or disbeliefs in matters that have little connection with humility, patience, and love...
