It is to be regretted that in his fervor his rhetoric and coherence suffer, and he fails to attain the standard of the Illustrated, as set forth by Mr. Hamlin in the "Need of Attachment," "the ability to think clearly, to write very decently, and to work efficiently enough not to need to hustle." It is good (and somehow amusing) to know that "atheists, agnostics, or others taking philosophy courses are always welcomed" at "the Association meetings (like the mid-week meetings of the St. Paul's Society...
