...hard times, its gullibility and generosity in lending drew it quickly to its inevitable end,--bankruptcy. For the last two or three years it has been of no use at all in capitalizing the Philippines' many resources, but has managed only to languish along in a state of coma and parasitic inactivity...
...lair a fair-to-middling squad, the seasoning of which has been impaired by the late return of several members who rowed on the victorious crew at the Olympic Games at Antwerp this summer. As a result of this, North Carolina forward passed the Midshipmen into a state of coma and snatched the first game of the season, 14-7. Since then, Coach Felwell's men have taken a brace.

Religion is not a state of coma, a pleasing reverie, but a positive and driving force. It is energy. If this is the case, the Chapel habit is at least worth investigating, whether it finally proves of practical value...
