...fiction with scenes and people widely different from those he delineated so well in his story "After Twenty Years," in the Advocate. The story which appears today is a student reminiscent sketch, depicting in a perfectly natural manner the abyss of mortification into which a particular seaside resort, a particular girl, and a particular masquerade ball plunged a certain college man. The plot is clever and well worked out and the language shows no inappropriate word or phrase...
...with what seemed but a slight disorder of the stomach. Getting no better, however, during the following three days, he was removed to the Cambridge hospital where an inflammation of the vermiform appendage soon developed. His parents were summoned from their home in Albany, and consented, as a last resort, to a dangerous operation. Dr. Homans, the eminent surgeon, whose specialty is the operation for peritonitis, was called in and for a few days it seemed as if his skill had arrested further progress of the disease.

His discourse was to show the need of wisely directed effort in the Christian church; as the text has it "Where the trumpet sounds, resort ye thither." The judgement and appropriateness with which Christ acted during his active life on earth illustrates the point; while, on the other hand, the history of the church since that time shows the consequences of misdirected energies. Profiting by the experience of former generations the great work of the Church should be to preach Christ...
