the heart gives that which neither silver

The custom at Princeton of the

The wisest man in the world is not
the one who can get the most meat out
of Greek roots, but the one who has
learned for himself that there is saliva
ton from sin. If he knows j Jesus Christ
he knows something no college can
teach.
When our good friends find way
of formulating and teaching secular
morality which will be effective with
no religion in it, we shall expect them
next to invent and teach terrestrial
astronomy with nothing celestial in it.

The fear of the Lord is the begin

men that are the most God-fearing are
the least afraid of God. The fear of
the Lord is not terror, but loyal re-

to all faithful obedience, and he who is
right in view of the highest authority
