Appleton Chapel was filled to over-flowing yesterday afternoon when Garret's Thanksgiving Cantata was given by the united choirs of St. Paul's Church and Harvard University. Prof-Peabody opened the services by reading the Thanksgiving proclamation of the Governor. After a prayer and the reading of a Psalm the Cantata was begun and carried through without intermission, the congregation joining in the hymns...
Yesterday evening in Appleton Chapel Dr. Henry Van Dyke preached an interesting sermon on Courage, taking his sernion from the 27th psalm, 14th verse. "Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and He shall strengthen thy heart." The speaker made of his subject three divisions. First, what is courage? Second, how shall we obtain it?

There was a very gratifying attendance at the first of the Vespers yesterday afternoon. Dr. Van Dyke read the psalm and offered the prayer. Dr. Abbott took for his text the sixth chapter of Isiaah.

Prof. Lyon's lecture yesterday was on the "Cuneiform Inscriptions an the Psalter."

The most striking resemblances occur in the class of psalms called penitential. Several of these productions were translated. When the Jews were exiled at Babylon in the sixth century B. C., they could not fail to be impressed by the splendid ritual of which these psalms were a part, and it is not unlikely that they may have adopted some of them, with...
...spite of the bad weather there was a good attendance at the vesper services in Appleton chapel yesterday afternoon. The exercises began with Le Jeune's anthem "Jerusalem the Golden." Rev. F. G. Peabody led in prayer, and the forty-sixth Psalm was read responsively. The Rev. Dr. McKenzie preached a short sermon based on the words found in the fourteenth chapter of St. John, where the disciples, when asking to see God in person, are told by Jesus that "he that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father." We know that God is present everywhere, and that...
