"Will the Devil complete the capture of the modern church?" inquires the
Rev. Mr. Straton of New York. Why is it assumed that the Old Boy is
attempting to capture it? People go to the Devil; the Devil doesn't have
to chase after them. The notion that Old Nick, is always around drumming
up business is an example of the inordinate vanity of man.

Dean Jones of Yale is credited with this definition
of freedom of speech: "The liberty to say
what you think without thinking what you say."

"ON SUCH A NIGHT..."
[From the Bethany, Mo., Clipper.]
After the serving of light refreshments the young ladies repaired to the
third floor and "tripped the light fantastic" while music waved eternal
wands. And then the whole company flocked in and enjoyed the beauties of
this grand home, lingering and chatting, with the enchanted spell of the
glorious evening still strong upon each one, until the crescent moon had
veiled her face and the vain young night trembled over her own beauty.
And then with expressed regrets that the hours had flown so rapidly the
guests bade a fair good night to their charming hostess.
