...annual report of the Astronomical Observatory, recently issued by Professor Pickering, reviews in detail the work of the department for the past year. It states that three important astronomical events have occurred since the last report: the opposition of the planet Eros, which brought the planet nearer to the earth than it will be again for many years; the appearance of the New Star in Perseus, the brightest object of its class which has been seen for three hundred years; and the total eclipse of the sun in Sumatra...
...skating rink which is being built on Holmes Field is rapidly nearing completion. The earth has been banked up and the boarding of the sides is practically all that remains to be done.

It is this discord between two natures which we must strive to resolve into a perfect unity with God himself. We must give up the things of this earth and all self-seeking purposes, if we are to attain this unity. As Jesus has said, "He that loseth his life shall find it," and in this paradox is the solution of the problem. But the bare knowledge of this is not the way of salvation. By acts and faith alone...
