The service in Appleton Chapel last evening was conducted by Rev. E. E. Hale. The sermon was based upon the text from Acts xvii: 28, - "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being."

The lesson which the discourse taught was the omnipresence of God to men. Our Life is in God's and his life is in ours. One of the points of difference between Jewish doctrine and that of the church of Christ was that in the former the necessity was imposed of seeking the spirit by pilgrimages to some appointed and perhaps distant spot; in the latter that He whom Christ called Our Father is ever and always with us, and we may everywhere accept his present love. Every word of the Lord's Prayer shows the nearness of Him to us. The real leaders of the church proclaim it to us. Distinctions of time and place vanish before the present, the infinite goal. What is the beginning of the end to him who is the unchanged, the unchanging? The two currents of the Father's life and that of son come together in the end. From Him we spring; to him we go. How great a thing it is that He is my father and I am his child! Creeds and doctrines disappear in face of realization, to him who has kept his life apart from evil.
