...against certain religious opinions, and a slur cast, in one case upon the expressions, in the other upon the doctrinal views, of two eminent Christian men. The daily papers, Messrs. Editors, have quite sufficiently misrepresented the doctrinal views of the recent candidate for the bishopric of Massachusetts, and we need not re-echo their hasty judgments on the soundness of those views. Let us not admit religious controversy into the colums of our College papers; or, if we choose to do so, for the sake of truth let no one write an article on a religious or controversial subject without...
...often been suggested to the subject of our present mythologico-biographical considerations, that, since he had such a large amount of foot to support him, he need not be at all particular about standing upon many solid principles.

Examples may be readily given to illustrate this remark, taken from three Christian churches of differing religious views...
Although the result of the second game was a bitter disappointment, it does not seem as if the Cricket Club need feel at all disheartened; for they have shown some remarkably good play, considering their resources and opportunities. Their bowling is very effective before the men become exhausted; their batting is good, and their fielding splendid. The one point in which they fail is in running the wickets. This has at times been fearfully slack and hesitating, and has given them many a needless out. The only way in which this can be remedied is to persuade enough...
