...Brooks spoke of the necessity for the strong man of reverence, of obedience and of self-sacrifice.

Steel is better than iron because equal strength can be gained...

The world is a training school for the enlargement of our lives. A higher level of existence is promised to all sorts and conditions of men if they will yield obedience to the laws which God has established...
...been unusually active thus far this year, owing to a great extent to the impetus given to this work by the visit of Professor Drummond. Delegations have been sent out nearly every Sunday. Several Yale men spoke at Princeton last Sunday, returning the visit of the Princeton delegation. Between thirty and forty representatives from Yale attended the recent intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. convention at Boston and report a very enjoyable and profitable session...
