...words of the text seem for away; seem to be fiting for our time. Yet what is wilderness? Is it not a place where law does not govern? If impulse rules the hour. If conscience ceases to be the throne from which God rules the human race. then civilization itself becomes a wilderness. So it may be said that in our time there is a wilderness, for secret potting, sedition, crime hold away and the law of the strongest still rules. Though the need for voices in the wilderness is ever decreasing, though all observation shows that the world...
...epistle to James. - "if there be not the works of faith, there is no faith," is not always helpful. As a help to your faith, suppose the preacher is so powerful and so eloquent that you leave the church absolutely faithless.

In the first place the proceeds of the public performance have always gore to the support of the class crew, and these proceeds have been very considerable. This support has grown to be a regular feature important and necessary to the crew. The crew has grown to rely upon this financial aid each spring...
...writer of this article apparently forgets that the number of men composing athletic teams, the eleven, crew, nine and others, is comparatively small, and that the large mass of college students take little active part in collegiate contests. It seems otherwise because athletics by nature force themselves into prominence more quickly than scholarly attainments. Athletics seem to be more absorbing and time taking than they actually are because those in them work in the sight of the public who can know how well they work and can follow their progress. With the student however, it is different; he works secretly...
