...McPherson, D. D., of Chicago, preached last night at chapel. He took as his text, "What think ye of Christ?" (Matt. xxii, 42d v.), and spoke as follows: Christ addressed this question to a general assembly of the Jews. There were the Pharisees, the self-complacent religious leaders of the people; the Sadducees, the political sect; the Herodians, who united the selfishness of the Pharisees and the worldliness of the Sadducees and who cordially hated both.
