REVEREND W. B. KING, who was called recently to the rectorship of Christ Church will preach in Appleton Chapel tomorrow night. This is the first opportunity we have had to hear him speak to us as Harvard students, and we hope he may have a large attendance. Mr. King is a man of strong personality, a clear thinker and an able speaker. He has in many ways shown a lively interest in Harvard and a desire to become better acquainted with the men here, in order that his influence may be broader and more effective. If he is but given...
...apostle chosen to fill the place of Judas. In the study of Mathias we have almost nothing to guide us, we know only that it was he whom God chose to be his apostle.

The devil's laws were alone practical. The Golden Rule was an ideal impossible to reach. All that was honest was unnatural...
...does not work, but we know that Christ's law is a success. For are not the very qualities which we honor and emulate in Phillips Brooks and Abraham Lincoln and all noble men, their forgetfulness of self? If, then, we know what the highest is, let us as educated men strive to obtain it, and give to politics and to society the healthful influence of our training and our learning. Let us devote ourselves, that we may save ourselves...
