...regard to this day, and deprecated the ridicule of the old-fashioned Sunday. The church is in danger of losing one of the highest and holiest symbols of verity that man can know. Our exciting American life needs just such relief as this day affords. It gives us splendid opportunity for considering those great questions which every earnest man should consider. It makes possible the personal growth in faith, sympathy and sacred endeavor. It is the day for the cultivation of the spiritual nature which is so often lost sight of in the lower thoughts of man. It is preeminently...
...cannot refrain from congratulating you upon the splendid work the Harvard men did yesterday, particularly in the second half. Nothing more disheartening than its opening can be imagined. With an adverse score and a vindictive wind which had been of no service in the first half, suddenly rising to a half gale, so that the flag-staff bent, I could not imagine what instructions you could give the men.

...staging of the opera was splendid; 'Devil's Rock at the Cave Entrance' was as well built, and as aptly realistic as any piece of scenery ever set in place behind the lights of that house; which is saying a good deal. And the calibre of the company's exhibition was no less remarkable than the fact of their adaptability to continual renewals of repertoire. The genuine vigor with which the Castle Square company carries its kaleidoscopic work is certainly curious to note. And the voices and pantomime of the principals seem, beyond understanding, to improve under each week...
