...above all, why call it volunteer work? Perhaps, it is hide-bound conservatism that forces the Princetonian to take a reactionary view of this latest development of higher education spurting from the very fount of Knowledge; yet, the Princetonian is inclined to come forth with the anciently discredited dogma that to be philanthropic one must be inspired with a simon-pure love of mankind, undiluted by any expectation of future reward, be it diploma or otherwise...
...papacy, and in so doing lost most of the true interpretation of Christ's teachings. On looking back over history we can see how much more clearly men now understand the following of his teachings than at that time, yet many are still entangled in the meshes of dogma and theology.

In Mr. Edgell's story "Two Operas" I find a pleasing old fashioned note--a story straightforwardly told and getting...

The light is gradually dawning upon us by the spread of learning and the growth of individual criticism. The truth is gradually replacing creed and dogma, and we are no longer bound by the letters of a back. Christ, whether regarded as divine, or human, or mythical, nevertheless stands revealed to us as a great example to be followed through all generations. He has left his impression upon us, an undying impression which ever will reassert...
