Religion is at the present time becoming more and more humanistic in its application--and social service is another word for a laboratory course in human nature. No man can rightfully say that he has known or tried to benefit man until he has seen specimens of his own species that need aid--not aid always of substantial nature--but the moral and mental aid that an educated man can give his uneducated brothers...
...word of appreciation to the athletes who will spend at least a part of the coming vacation in active training is surely deserved.

The acceptance of the invitation was not a mere favor; it imposed a moral obligation to live up to one's word, to do that which shall make these weekly discussions--which, by the way, last but one hour and will be held weekly up to the 'April vacation only--a source of mutual benefit. The class meet this evening in the Parlor of Books House at 7.30. E. ANGELL...
