...account of the threatening weather, an audience somewhat smaller than usual gathered in Appleton Chapel last evening to hear the address of Rev. Washington Gladden. He chose his text from the 2d chapter of Titus, 11th and 12th verses; "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly, in the present...
