...Discovery of Yucatan" is a charmingly written sketch by Alice D. Le Plougeon. The writer's treatment of the subject is so natural and easy that one seems to be reading a story rather than a page of history. "The Historical Sketch of Christ Church, New York City," is an interesting paper by William J. Danes. Then follows "The Fundamental Principles of our Government," a sound and able treatment of the subject by Franklin A. Beecher...

A man at twenty without a religion is truly to be pitied. "Truth...
...then briefly on the moral side of religion. A man can never get rid of temptation. Kill the temptation or it will kill you. In the first place, temptation is no sin, Christ was tempted. If you encourage it, it is sin, but if you repel it, it is not. Secondly, temptation is invaluable, no man can be a man unless he is tempted and that often. Practice makes a man a good Christian. Make temptation a continual means of grace, and you are on the right road. Religion consists in living. Who is going to begin this life? Consider...
