...Puritan time, the boy, the girl, the mother and the father, came to prayer each night as they had done in the morning. Is it not clear that if we could make a town, a state, a nation begin each day in this way and with the purpose to glorify God, that it could achieve impossibilities...
...distorted conception of life among college men, it hardly seems due to the glorification of athletics.

Manliness and gentleness go hand in hand and shame at helping a little boy argues a childish and indecent state of things which does not exist...
