...George A. Gordon preached in the Chapel last evening from the text found in Matthew VIII, 34. Putting aside all questions of history the preacher searched for a moral significance in the casting out of devils. The speaker said that few people are willing today to give up their insanity at the expense of their service, or in other words, were willing to give up their sins if they were compelled at the same time to give up the pleasures...
...speaker taking his text from Col. 3, 1 and 2, made an earnest appeal against the use of earthly motives in our lives.

...Brooks preached his second Sunday evening sermon at Appleton Chapel before a very large audience. His text was "Demonstration of the Spirit," I Corinthians; 2:4. The speaker said that there are various kinds of demonstrations which are governed by the nature of the teacher, of the leader, and by the message itself. We have demonstrations in mathematics in which authority and reason are our own teachers, while in the demonstrations of the spirit no authority or arguments can be sufficient for us, because our souls cannot be touched except by the spirit. Every mind requires demonstrations according...
