There were but two vacant seats in Chapel yesterday on the opening of the Vesper service. After a short prayer by Rev. Phillips Brooks, the choir sang Tuckerman's "God so Loved the World." After the reading of the thirty-fourth Psalm, the "Lord God of Abraham," from Mendelssohn's "Elijah," was powerfully rendered by Mr. D. M. Babcock of Boston, a member of the class of '77. The Rev. Francis G. Peabody delivered the address, his text being taken from the third chapter of Revelations. We are as men who stand on the threshold of knowledge...
...crowded chapel awaited the service in Appleton Chapel last evening, at which Prof. Harris, - whose name has been brought prominently forward in the recent Andover trial, - was to preach. The service opened with a short prayer, which was followed by the reading of the Seventy-second Psalm. The long prayer was a petition for unity and peace among all people. After a hymn sung by the congregation, Prof. Harris gave out the text from St. Matthew, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." This was humanitarianism. A comparison of unreligious and Christian humanitarianism would be the subject of the sermon...
...Vesper Service yesterday was very large; fully one thousand people were present. The prevailing thought of the service was the "Light of God;" and to this idea the address and music were directed. The choir sang, "We March to Victory," by Barnby. Rev. Dr. McKenzie read the Psalm. Mr. G. W. Ward then sang, "Sing Ye Praises," from Mendelsohn's "Hymn of Praise."

"Sincerity, unlike many other virtues, is a quality for the appreciation...
...service was opened by the singing of the anthem by the choir. Dr. Peabody in his short prayer then spoke of the fitness of such an hour of quiet retreat, in which our hard, intellectual life may be softened by an appeal to our emotional nature. The 39th psalm was then read. Following this was Buck's superb "Lead, Kindly Light," sung by the Temple Quartet. Dr. Gordon then read the 19th psalm, upon which he founded his address. He urged very forcibly that only by the emotional feeling life can man achieve great nobleness. The intellectual life is much...
...standing room of the chapel was exhausted and the door was forced shut in spite of the pressure from the outside. The Anniversary Choir, with its magnificent volume of sound, again took part in the service. The hymn "Machet die Thore Weit" opened the service, and the reading of Psalm 143 by Rev. F. G. Peabody was followed by the anthem, "All Glory, Laud and Honor." Then followed Arthur Foote's beautiful composition, "Into the Silent Land," which was composed especially for the occasion. This was sung by a graduate quartet consisting of Dr. S. W. Langmaid...
