...produced Monday night before a large house. The performance was distinctly above mediocrity, but there was little acting that could be called brilliant except, perhaps, Miss Annie Clarke's Lady Teazle.

...George A. Goraon gave a sermon in Appleton chapel last night on a text from Acts 12, x. where Peter is rescued from prison by an angel. He said that the outside door of the prison which "opened of its own accord" may be likened to what men find hampering in their environments. Men think they cannot be temperate, pure, or good because their associations tend to make them intemperate, vicious or bad. These environments are really very easy to break through. A strong faith in a righteous purpose will prevail very quickly over these imaginary difficulties...
