A nostalgic poem by W. D. Nesbit from the Chicago Tribune laments vanished grandeur and fallen glory. It contrasts past brilliance with present ruin, invoking broken pillars, desolate walls, and dust of ages as symbols of fleeting reign and memory.
A humorous tale traces wedding gifts and the fate of silver pieces. A bride-to-be learns how relatives use and misinterpret silverware during a luncheon, culminating in a crisis over ice cream spoons and a cheese scoop, then laughs at the mishap and bonds with relatives.
A Sunday sermon discusses the parable from Luke fifteen, arguing the elder brother is lost as the prodigal. It warns negative piety and rule bound Phariseeism sap joy, while true sonship and love restore happiness in God. The pastor urges assuming the best in others, valuing companionship with God over material reward.
The resurrection is essential as proof of Jesus divine life and teachings and as a source of hope beyond the tomb. Without Christ rising, Paul warns faith is vain and believers remain in sin, and the dying thief’s promise would be dubious. The disciples only gained faith after seeing the risen Lord.
A fragment discusses moral guidance from surface cues over moral philosophy and notes theatre programs include heavy advertisements for ale houses bars and saloons, contrasting with concerts. It hints at shared audience associations between stage and bar and urges attention to such tendencies.
