...condition of the Tennis Association. When the Association was formed, it was found necessary to borrow $1150 from the college in order to meet the expenses of making the courts. This loan is being steadily repaid by subscriptions and is now reduced to $400. Your correspondent of Tuesday was wrong in saying that the back-nets were paid for by subscription. Every cent which was subscribed last year was for the reduction of the debt.

Therefore all change is slow, but when a move is once made, the effects are very lasting, and this is as true of right influences as of wrong ones.

Men send this arrow into the souls of their fellows, when they listen to false reports or magnify a slight wrong. The uncharitableness of men often causes a germ of evil to develop into an overpowering disease. There is, however, a moral triumph for all. We can fortify ourselves every day by prayer, by keeping our souls open to influences coming from above. We can shield ourselves in the compassionate love...
