...Master's call to work. Philip, with low ideal of the service required, but great willingness to work, cannot accomplish the desired result; Andrew, on account of his lofty ideal of the service needed, has his energies paralyzed, and does not even strive for the desired end. Jesus answers the question by action simply, working through faith in God the fullness of His mercy. The choir also sang, "Christian, the evening waits before thee," by Shelley; "The souls of the righteous," by Foster...

The choir sang the following selections: "Lord of all power and might," Mason; "The Sun shall be no more," Woodward; "Lovely appear over the mountains," Gounod...
...services at Appleton Chapel last evening were conducted by Rev. William Lawrence. He read the fourth chapter of Matthew and took as his text "Ye shall not tempt the Lord, thy God." In his sermon he studied the temptations of Jesus, his method of meeting them, and made practical applications of the lesson. He traced parallel temptations of the Church which in its overconfidence of God s love and mercy is constantly in danger of tempting Him. He spoke also to those who put their love of truth to too severe a test, and of the overconfidence of the young...
