...current Lampoon, as befits the football number, admirably illustrates the will to believe. The cover is flamboyant with breezy confidence; scripture unschooled by higher criticism is called to witness in our behalf at the outset, and the tail-piece is a convincing vision of prophecy fulfilled,--a fulfillment heralded by many a timely dig in the intervening pages at our "dearest foe."
