Professor F. G. Peabody conducted the customary services at Appleton Chapel last evening. He took as his text the familiar passage, "Wake to yourselves, friends of the mammon of unrighteousness." The sermon was scholarly, impressive and full of interest. Professor Peabody said by the mammon of unrighteousness was meant the temporal business affairs of every-day life.

...large attendance of students and visitors. The selections of hymns consisted in "Let all the World in every Corner Sing," Watson's "O Worship the Lord," and that beautiful effort of Mozart's, "O Great Jehovah." Mr. Babcock, the soloist, sang with his customary skill and finish.
