...Johannesburg should be admitted to the legislature, and that the English language as well as the Dutch should be used in the legislature. Consular representation between the Transvaal and the European states gave the Transvaal the status of an independent state.

Neither is religion a feeling of emotion for some particular phase of its manifestation. Religion is rather the "pressing forward toward the mark of our high calling in Christ Jesus our Lord." It is this intention, graven on the heart, that changes a man's life. It is a mistake to call any weak man well-meaning, since, in the higher and broader sense, if a man means well he will do well. A man interested in athletics shows...
