This fact, however, seems clear: that religion may be left in the background, with the idea of literature in the front. As literature the Bible has an almost universal appeal. Bible classes are not crowded, because every man feels that...
...choice of the team to represent the United States will probably lie between the intercollegiate champion and the teams of the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn and the Shamrocks of Chicago.
