...what we more especially desire to speak of and that is the pictures of heaven with which many sermons are crammed full. Now, in all Christian charity, granting that the preacher does not crib so freely from Revelation and the Psalms for the purpose of saving himself mental labor, what does the preacher gain by such a picture? For who indeed ever sits down in his study - and few men can be their real selves there - and deliberately writes out a description of heaven, without making that happiest of all places "a land flowing with milk and honey"?

Now, with all due allowance for the trivial character of a College paper, and the unavoidable demands on the time and labor of an instructor, we still think that this is a medium of communication which should be used. That the College papers are not better than they are, is as much the fault of the instructors as of the students. Nor let them think that there are no appropriate subjects on which...
