Every good Christian feels the truth of this. Christ never despaired. He looked the sins and the pains of life squarely in the face, and with it saw the face of His Father and the promise of success in life. By believing in people He helped them to believe in themselves; He never discouraged a person who had sinned. When He sent His apostles out to conquer the world, He looked forward to victory, and yet just at this time His friends were few, while His enemies were constantly increasing in numbers. The night was upon Him but He looked...
...Hinkey. The officials of the game mentioned thereupon submit their testimony. The umpire, Alex. Moffat, stated that the injury was a pure accident which might have happened at any time and that it was impossible to place any responsibility. Linesman George O. Pratt, in his statement, declared that he saw no unnecessary roughness in the game and that Hinkey was no rougher than any of the other players from his point of view; and the assistant linesman, I.

The atmosphere was English, the people were English and everything was appreciated to the highest degree. That familiar and distressing form of English humor which is indicated by a series of the coarsest puns was entirely lacking, and in its place...
...Harvard team. On the day that Harvard won from Cornell by the score of 22 to 12, Yale defeated West Point 12 to 5. A week later Yale scored but twelve points against Brown. There were two reasons for this poor showing. The veterans, feeling sure of their positions, saw no particular reason for playing hard; but the chief reason was that coaches had been rather scarce all the fall. Mr. Camp was especially missed. Hinkey was obliged to bear two burdens: that of captain, and that of coach...
