There was an unusually good attendance yesterday afternoon at Appleton Chapel to listen to the regular Thursday afternoon vesper service. After a voluntary by Mr. Locke, the choir rendered the hymn, "Jesus, My Lord." Then after a prayer by Prof. Peabody, the 147th Psalm was read responsively. Mr. W. N. Fessenden, the noted tenor, now singing with the National Opera Company, sang the tenor solo, "Salve Regina," by Will Cox, after which Dr. A. P. Peabody read a selection of Scripture and spoke on the following verse: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou should...
There was a very good attendance at vesper service in Appleton Chapel yesterday afternoon. After an overture on the organ by Mr. Locke, the choir sang Schubert's Jubilate. After a prayer by Prof. Peabody, the 103rd Psalm was read responsively; after which the choir rendered Martin's Holy Spirit Come. Dr. Brooks, the speaker of the afternoon, then read from the 21st chapter of Revelations and spoke for a few minutes on the thoughts contained in this verse: "He that sitteth upon the throne, saith, behold I make all things...
...last vesper service of the year yesterday fully came up to expectations. The chapel was filled at five minutes before the hour, 30 that later comers had to stand in the aisles. Rev.

There is throughout the whole life of Jesus this continual contrast of society and solitude. Thus...
...large audience in Appleton Chapel yesterday evening. The singing by the choir was worthy of a keen appreciation, and the solo of Mr. J. D. Merrill, '89, in the hymn, "Oh! For a Closer Walk with God," was especially well rendered. The text was taken from the 96th Psalm, the 9th verse, "Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." In the old Hebrew usage this was taken in its liberal meaning, and a beautiful dress was considered necessary in worshipping the Lord. The beauty of holiness makes the plainest face look bright and happy; it makes the sick...
...chapel was so crowded at vespers yesterday that many had to stand during the entire service. Rev. F. G. Peabody read the 85th Psalm. The beautiful tenor solo from Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise," sung by Mr. Ricketson, then followed. Rev. Dr. Gordon read from the twelfth chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews, and on this based his address, on "The Irremediableness of Sin." However good repentance may be, it can never undo the past. Every act remains as a record. How deeply soever we may regret squandered riches, overtasked strength, neglected opportunities, as Esau regretted his pledged birthright...
