Probably, indeed, he would have refused to accept any credal statement about the Christ, but he had nevertheless a deep reverence for the biblical story and a profound recognition of its influence and benefits.

The latter has also the advantage of experience in the position. Wilhelmi, although considerably heavier than the average end, is nevertheless fast. He is, however, very inexperienced in the duties of the position, and constant coaching will have to supplement his natural ability to make him even a fair and for the championship games. Neal, the leading candidate for this position until his injury in the Wesleyan game, is again...
