...Persian invasion, and it was his object to plunder the temple. At this time the nationality and unity which the oracle represented sank with obscurity. It still gave responses, but they were no longer true, and in Athens' wars they favored the enemies of Attica. Two hundred years after Christ, the last word concerning Delphi was heard, and from that time until comparatively lately it has remained buried in the deepest obscurity. In 1840, Dr. Ottfield Muller went to the site of Delphi and his work showed the opportunity for discovery and research among the ruins. Twenty years later another...
There was a large congregation at the regular Sunday evening service in the chapel last evening. The preacher was Rev. William Lawrence. His text was Mark vi: 56. After narrating the story of Christ's second visit to Nazareth and of His seeming powerlessness to do many wonderful deeds then on account of the unbelief of the people, the speaker turned to examine the reasons for the slow progress the world has made since Christ's time in realizing the ideal of true Christianity. The chief trouble today is that there is an almost universal skepticism as to the possibility...
...present at Appleton Chapel. The pulpit was occupied by Rev. William Lawrence, who, after reading the service, delivered a short but earnest address intended mainly for the students. He illustrated his remarks by a text from the 19th chapter of St. Luke, verses 39 and 40, in which Christ's triumphant march into Jerusalem amidst the rejoicing and glorification by his disciples is told.

Phillips Brooks then spoke of the three notable visits which Christ made to the Temple: the first as a child when He was recognized as a child of God, the second, when He was found disputing with the doctors; the third, when He cleansed the temple. These visits represent three periods of man's life: childhood, the desire for knowledge...
...Chapel was well filled yesterday afternoon at the Vesper Service. The Rev. Dr. Gordon conducted the meeting and after the reading of the nineteenth Psalm, gave a short sermon. He took as his text the incident of Mary being excluded from the inn prior to Christ's birth. He said if men would only consent to come into real contact with Christianity it would have the effect of an electric battery, establishing a complete sovereignty in their thought, interest, and being. The choir sang the anthems, "It came upon the midnight clear," by Sullivan; "Thus said the Lord," from...
