No questions will be asked upon their return, nor will any attempt be made to investigate the matter. It is certainly only what can be expected of every gentleman that some deference shall be paid to the feelings of others, even at moments of great enthusiasm. But when the excitement has passed, no excuse can be offered why reparation as far as possible shall not be offered. We say all this...

The records of the interesting events of the past week are well worthy of as permanent a form as printed matter can give them.

We all feel it a great loss that at our daily morning services so little of the personality of the minister has a chance to express itself. We cannot gainsay the conviction that in the mere reading of the service, however beautiful it may be, to derive the full benefit of the noble soul and masterly mind of these men who so generously give up their time...
