...Semitic and Gentile traditions there are periods of low aspirations and moral degeneracy, in which we usually find men arising who are reformers of, and superior to, the masses around them. They were eloquent teachers but in all of them we see mere gropers after the divine, until the greatest Prophet of all comes, Jesus Christ. The wise reformers who came before him proclaimed the nearer and nearer approach of the Great Light. At last it came, and the blackness of death was illuminated. Buddha taught a brotherhood and equality but only in misery; Christ teaches an equality...
...greatest farce which remains in connection with the admission to Harvard College is the rule obliging candidate to file a certificate of moral character. This certificate amounts to nothing at all. Anyone can get such a paper, and the college is no more sure of the character of a man than if the certificate had never been presented.

...Peabody, D. D., spoke last evening in Appleton Chapel from a text chosen from Psalms 19: vii., "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." He dwelt upon the "moral law." If a man does all that he ought to do, he will do more good than he will do by some special service. The choir sang, "Christ is risen," Sullivan; "The Lord is my strength," Smart; "Allehele, Sing praises," Whitney...
