...that the Episcopal clrurch had been accused of being a church for gentlemen. He hoped that this was true, and that the members were all gentlemen in the true sense of the word. A gentleman must scorn everything dishonorable. He must lead a spiritual life through faith in Jesus Christ.

...observance of Easter day has always been kept. At a time when the christian would not even observe the day of the birth of Christ, the day of His birth and resurrection into immortal life was sacred. In our day we may observe the resurrection of Christ as an historical fact-he may be risen in our opinions, but not in our lives. We are apt to confound real life and real death. The truths of the New Testament are not always before us; we do not realize that we may be in the best of health...
