...Winchester Donald, of Boston, preached his last sermon as University preacher in Appleton Chapel last evening, choosing as his text John, xii-17: "The people therefore that was with him when he raised Lazarus out of his grave bear record...
...Donald's sermon was an earnest plea for the need of believing in the power of Jesus; that men through such a belief might become living examples that nearness to Christ is nearness to God.

In all the history of Jesus' life we find that he was by nature of a joyous disposition which made his moments of deep sorrow, like the one in the text, all the more intense. The mingling of joy and pain in his life is what all men should expect to find in their own lives and those of their...
