...college this year and last, the Lacrosse Association is in very straightened circumstances. Unless $200 dollars is subscribed and paid in by Friday noon, we shall be obliged to forfeit our regular scheduled game with Lehigh on Saturday. The result of such a forfeiture is obvious: First, Harvard will lose her position as a member of the league; and secondly, she will appear in a very bad light because of the forfeiture...

He said that often where a principle finds an apt illustration as here, we bound the principle by the illustration. But here the principle is so important that we must not lose it thus. It is Christ's purpose to teach that the personal reward of an action corresponds, and is proportionate to the motive. He applied this princilpe to the prayer, fastings and charity of the Pharisees; their motive was that they should be seen of men, and they had their reward...
