As a result, there are those in the faculty, and there always will be, who will be sniffing suspiciously at this lusty growth, which seems to them at times to be threatening the parent tree. At times the suspicion that something is wrong becomes a conviction and then there is much ado for a time, as the most alarmed of the faculty vent their wrath against manager or player...
...elope with his neighbor's wife, and wreck two trains and a house in the process, is patently ridiculous. Yet there is a grain of truth in the allegation which cannot be denied--many movies of today are to some extent responsible for loweringmen's standards of right and wrong, especially in the case of impressionable youth.

"To most people the profession of the ministry lies in a category by itself, only to be entered after some tremendous emotional experience. This is the wrong attitude. The ministry is like any other profession and he who enters it should do so because he likes it or is well fitted for it. If you are willing to lead a pure, honest, kindly life, and if you are genuinely interested in people and human nature, you should...
