...course it will be said that Wednesday was an extremely cold day, and that we only stay in chapel for a few minutes; but we have had, and will have again, days just as cold, and fifteen minutes is amply sufficient to give a cold that will last for weeks. Perhaps it is not too much to ask that some professor in favor of prayers should take the trouble to explain what other reasons there are for supporting them...
