...Professor George Harris, of Andover, conducted the service in Appleton chapel last evening. He chose as the text of his sermon John vs 17; "But Jesus answered them, My Father worked even until now, and I work." In these words Jesus justified himself for healing the lame man on the Sabbath.

Dr. Gottheil chose as the part of this subject on which he wished particularly to speak the school of natural religion in ancient Israel. The fact, said the speaker, that natural religion was a factor of no mean importance in the growth of revealed religion has hardly been well understood. The Bible used...
...Williamson Smith, president of Trinity college preached in Appleton chapel last evening. He chose as his text the first verse of the twelfth chapter of Genesis. We live in three worlds as it were, he said, the actual world, a border land filled with thoughts and passion, and the realm beyond. The possession of well being and happiness is not in the actual, but in searching after the ideal; therefore, happy is the man who can look forward to that excellence, but alas for him whose ideas are destroyed. The choir sang the following selections: The Son of God goes...
