...favored members of the Musical Clubs who will follows a flower-strewn path through the Middle West, we wish a very Merry Christmas. May they one and all, withdrawn their thoughts from things academic, and revel in rest and recreation; remembering always a fact which few ever do remember-- that the vacation should be the time to recuperate from the strain of College work, rather than that the first few weeks of January should be the time to recover from an over-strenuous vacation...
...minute" story is a wild burlesque, of considerable merit, with a preface which might well be reduced to a title, and a postscript which in spite of its kindly spirit might well be omitted.

No other man's sermons were ever wrought with such thought and care. They all went through three stages, the note-book, the compendium stage, and then the finished arrangement, so that his intellectual preparation and logic made a track, as it were, for the rush of his rhetoric. Complete as was his plan and outline, he spoke with such spontaneity...
...follow in his vocation today have an opportunity only less than He himself had. The life of the ministry is one of hardship, of difficulties unforeseen, but it is a vocation that demands the best in men, and in the coming generation it is to be more important than ever in the past. Let us not ask for easy lives but for strength to meet the tasks that come through strenuous lives
