...years were making ready for actual work in the life of the world, when all had promise and the fulfillment seemed just beyond. Few years have passed since the University underwent similar suffering.

Christ did not hesitate but said at once: "Get thee behind Me Satan." The accounts of Christ's temptations are often thrust in the back-ground, yet men are tempted in the same way today. The temptation of the Pope to plunge nations into war that he may regain his temporal power resembles the temptation on the mountain; the temptation of business men to combine and raise the price of grain...
