...Chapel Hour should be changed to seven o'clock. I warrant that the more men there are at Chapel, the more men there will be who take an interest in Brooks House. This seems like putting the cart before the horse. Nevertheless, all these things are closely connected in the interest--or present lack of it--towards religious matters in the University...
...Americans. The Car-Yard and the gigantic adventure of freight-smoke and bells-the places the dusty freight-cars have been, the things they have seen! The life of a trackwalker on the subway, dodging 200 cannonball flyers a day for tiny wages-the sleights of a push cart man -the sandwichmen, those biting commentators upon our modern scheme of existence-the revivalists-the lovers of Little Italy-the bums-the men in the dark-the men in the storm-the men in the snow.

" During his vacations we used to go in a cart drawn by bullocks from the court of one Rajah to another, where he sang." Young Mukerji himself was initiated (at the age of 14) as a Brahmin priest and passed through the requisite two years of wandering pilgrimage, begging his way through India, seeking the knowledge of God-a pilgrimage most fascinatingly described. Later, he gave up his priesthood, to become fervently interested in the movement...
