...such a manner as to spoil the field for other sports. Now while every chance should be given to a sport that is as popular as tennis, is it wise to cripple other branches of athletics for the convenience of the tennis association? There seems to be something radically wrong in any scheme that deprives us unnecessarily of one of our principal athletic fields. It is perfectly possible to build these courts at the western end of the field and in other places that will not interfere with the baseball ground. In fact the graduate manager has offered to build...
...found showing how the church was managed in the first century. When the discovery was announced every sect, Baptist, Unitarian, Episcopalian, and all the others were sure that it was going to show that they were following in the steps of the fathers and that the others were all wrong. When the manuscript was translated and printed, no one had a word to say. As might have been expected, the arrangements would not now be practicable.

The minister has always stood and will always stand as the head and guiding power of public opinion. Ministers are usually better educated than their congregations and must therefore place certain important questions before the people in the proper light. It is therefore most necessary that ministers...
...Therefore I hated life because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me; for all is vanity and vexation of spirit." These two writers, he said, have views so opposed to one another that evidently one of them must have been very much in the wrong. And is it not so that viewed from certain standpoints there seems to be an element of truth in the words of the old preacher? Does it not sometimes look as if all this world was vanity and vexation of spirit? Is the reward of this world worth the price...
