Next, we give thanks and praises to Massachusetts, colony, province, commonwealth. Hers was the far-seeing and far reaching act we celebrate; hers was the generative deed, done in loneliness and poverty, but in faith. Today 50,000,000 of people in wealth and strength and liberty share its fruits...
...influences at work for the future as in the past, our principles, which like everything else are most powerful when most pure, and our personal qualities.

But the sonnet by Mr. Santayana, which treats of faith, must be regarded as one of the most attractive, perhaps the most attractive feature of the April Monthly. It is something that calls for more than one reading, that does not leave the mind almost as soon as it has entered it, like so much college poetry...
