...separated from the body as in the case of clairvoyants, and it may see independently of the eyes, but any real separation cannot be proved. He went on to say "the more a man's spiritual development is attained, the higher he sees his ideal above him. So with Christ who exclaimed, "Why call eye me good!" Man lives in eternity, and these ideals are never fulfilled in the earthly life. Man is a mortal being, but he is above mortality in that he looks beyond it. Does the belief in immortality degrade the world? History tells...
...shall no more go down." Rev. William Lawrence read the portion of the sixth chapter of John describing the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, and made it the text of his remarks. He said that in this passage we have in miniature the relation of Christ, the church and the world. In the replies of the two disciples to Christ's question we see the attitude of the church to the Master's call to work. Philip, with low ideal of the service required, but great willingness to work, cannot accomplish the desired result; Andrew, on account...
...audience which assembled to hear Rev. Phillips Brooks in Appleton Chapel last night filled it to overflowing. The preacher's text was from John vii. 27, "Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh no man knoweth whence he is."

Lyman Abbott then delivered a short address taking for his text the temptation of Christ in the wilderness. The preacher drew a vivid picture of Christ's temptation by Satan and urged that Christ's example of fortitude be followed by every student. He declared that vanity and ambition were two faults especially to be avoided by students in a large university, and it was only...
...advantage of the fine evening to hear the Rev. Lyman Abbott preach. Dr. Abbott took as his text, Matthews ix.: 22. The central idea of his sermon was that there is no purification without pain. The Bible, he says, dwells upon the remission of sin, rather than of penalty. Christ was a suffering God, for suffering is not imperfection, but the climax of character. It is suffering that reconciles man to God, and good men and bad men can be brought together only by mutuality of pain. The message then, of the New Testament, is that God stands knocking...
