...life. He died as a criminal, in disgrace, despised by men of his own nation. But the life of Jesus was the greatest moral venture ever undertaken. If we were to measure the life of Jesus from first to last, from the present business and political standpoints, it would seem to be a monumental failure. His own nation rejected his teaching with malignant scorn. He had to go among sinners to get a following. To men of reasonable minds and methods his opposition to the order of things then existing seemed outrageous. It seemed as if nothing were safe while...
...relations are Christian only as they embody a sacrificial quality of life. The whole social order is measured and tested from the standpoint of sacrifice. In the application of this doctrine, Dr. Herron is logical and unflinching. His results, are, in certain cases, extreme, and to some, his conclusions seem even to be unsafe.

The first half of today's practice was open to the students, but no one was allowed to see the second half. The entire college went down to the open practice, expecting...
...calibre of the company's exhibition was no less remarkable than the fact of their adaptability to continual renewals of repertoire. The genuine vigor with which the Castle Square company carries its kaleidoscopic work is certainly curious to note. And the voices and pantomime of the principals seem, beyond understanding, to improve under each week's new strain. Last night, for instance, Mr. Murray's singing and all his ordinarily difficult character portrayal were, or seemed to be, even better than Murray's. He was a capital Myles na Coppaleen, good-hearted and cheery and free of manner, and free...
