...opposing teams have played with more than one of the three large colleges. While nothing can yet be definitely said about the relative merits of the nines, the fact that all three nines have been giving exhibitions of excellent ball playing is settled beyond a doubt. The Easter season has been a good beginning of an exciting base ball year. Added to the excellence of the nines is the fact that for the first time since the season of 1888-89, games have been arranged between all three colleges.

Pliny had executed all men who said that they were Christians, but he was in great doubt as to what to do with those who had been Christians and then had repented of their folly. Other passages relative to the Christians are found in Tacitus, describing the persecutions of Nero; in Suetonius, and in Lucian. The latter speaks of their devotion to each other, and explains how any sharper...
