...seen of men, and they had their reward in the gratification of their vanity. Our own charity is often governed by the same motive and receives the same reward; and the same is true of many of our actions. In drawing some of the broader lessons from the thought, Dr. Tucker spoke of the effect of the principle upon the judgment, upon the conscience, and upon the work of the spirit of God in men. In closing he urged that there be more of quality and less of quantity in our religion, that we drop the seeming and stand forth...

...candidates for pitcher, of which the former will probably be the successful man. Pope is the only candidate for first base and is a good man there, though it was hoped that he would occupy his old position as shortstop, but owing to an injured knee the captain thought it safer to place him where there is less chance for a renewal of the injury. Belcher will cover 2nd base and Lenton will play at short-stop. Third base will be covered by Sullivan, who is a freshman. Storrs, Burns and Houghton, will constitute the outfield.
