...factories being forced into idleness while we live on the articles that are sent from abroad. Those goods must be brought in, if the debt is to be paid--there is no alternative. Thus, commercial payment of these war debts may well result in a long period of profound business depression here in America. Under these circumstances the administration will do well to think long and wisely before it makes a decision on which the fate of the country for the next two decades probably depends...
...William James; but almost as indisputably he stood apart from it--was never really of it. To the fetich of German "scientific" scholarship, the true divinity of which no one then doubted, he paid scant homage. His mind worked by flashes--flashes of wit, of iconoclastic paradox, of profound intelligence and of almost magical divination; but still, as it seemed to academic Cambridge, it worked uncanonically, irresponsibly. His knowledge was wide and luminous; on most of the subjects of which he wrote it was exhaustive; yet always it was the knowledge not of the researcher nor even of the steady...
...General W. W. Skiddy of the Class of 1865 S., has been able to make up the annual deficit, and, so far as we know, there is no indisposition on the part of the graduates to keep on attending to the job.

These etchings cover the whole period of Rembrandt's career, and illustrate the entire range of subjects used by the master--religious, allegorical, landscape, and portrait, in all of which there is a profound human interest. His mastery of technique is shown alike in such subjects as "Christ and His Disciples," etched with greatest abstraction, and the "Hundred Guilder Print," where details in the shadows have been worked out with extreme care. There are prints from his early period, executed entirely with the etching needle; others dating--from the middle of his career, when he used dry-point in connection...
Some men are deterred from entering the ministry for fear that they cannot speak their minds out. That is a profound error. All that one needs is the saving grace of common sense, and he can say what he pleases. Some feel that the Church makes too much of theology. On the contrary it probably makes too little of it. A plain and positive teaching on the essentials of the Christian faith is what men are loking for and need. Others feel that the ministry does not offer them a fair and solid living. It is true that its returns...
