The pews of Appleton Chapel were well filled, on Sunday evening, with students and visitors. The Rev. Dr. Hale conducted the services. He did not confine himself to any one text, but took the third chapter of the Gospel of St. John as a basis for his sermon. He stated primarily that he would discuss the chronology of the first part only of the life of Christ, leaving the chronology of the second part until the following Sunday. He spoke in substance as follows: "The narrative of the first half of the life of Christ was so gloomy and apparently unproductive that the three Gallilian gospels touch but lightly upon it. It was thought to be a period of failure. His turning the money-changers out of the temple in Jerusalem first opened the eyes of the people to the new reformer. And His subsequent work proved Him to be no inconsequential dreamer, but a practical leader of men." Dr. Hale preached about twenty minutes with considerable fervor, and his hearers were benefited by his earnest words. The music for the evening was up to the usual standard of excellence. The anthems were "I will sing of Thy Power," by Sullivan, and Novello's "Incline Thy Ear." In the absence of Mr. Locke, Mr. L. S. Thompson played the voluntary and postludium, both of which were taken from Merkell's Op. 100.
