Inspired by the ten commandments of Tia Juana and the sermon on Monte Carlo the sons of the prophet of prosperity feed on the manna provided each chilly dawn at morning prayer. Faith in the ultimate victory of the pulpit in the spiritual contest against chance and fate is swelling the ranks of the believers. Traditional forms of worship--Isis, Dionysius, the Eleusinian mysteries, Mammon himself--are flicked out of consciousness by the true followers, the faithful who abide by the tenets of the spokesman of the divine decree...
...anyone who has missed Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn from his cradle side, and almost as regretful over a lost soul who has failed to try "Life on the Mississippi" or "A Tramp Abroad" for his later and more travelsome years. Perhaps these unfortunates may be redeemed from the pulpit of Sever 11.

Wailing from a Park Avenue Presbyterian pulpit, Dr. Meiklejohn, director of the experimental college of the University of Wisconsin, covers himself with his usual sackcloth and ashes and vainly questioning, beats the un answering dust. Utterly discouraged with the futility of all educational institutions, this fiery and pessimistic crusader bitterly cites the Chinese famine, the disarmament conference, and the sordid evils of industrialism and finally points an interrogatory finger at the student, idle and ineffectual, at the teacher, cynical and discouraged. Inert ideas, learning unrelated to life, dullness in the classroom are some of the charges brought against modern education...
