Be Busybodies in Other Men's Matters
Dr. Talmage urges Christians to avoid prying into others affairs and to offer aid instead. He argues that meddling harms both givers and those gossiped about, urges focusing on one’s own calling, and promotes uplifting those starting out in life with sympathy and practical help. The sermon extols charity, reform, and the example of Christ.

Ways of the Coyote in the West and Its Pack Hunting Tactics
A descriptive piece by Prof. C F Uolder notes the coyote Canis latrans as a night hunter and pack hunter. It details solitary and pack behavior in southern California foothills and deserts, a coordinated rabbit chase, cautious courage when cornered, and its relation to South American dogs such as the crab-eating dogs of Paraguay and the Guara. The account contrasts coyote speed with a fox and compares its tactics to Australian dingoes.
