Appleton Chapel.

Appleton Chapel was filled to its utmost capacity last evening, many people being obliged to stand. Rev. Phillips Brooks occupied the pulpit, and delivered an extremely interesting address upon a text taken from the first chapter of John-God said: "I am the light of the world, I am the light of anture." The speaker said that when the sun rises over the earth and finds it in darkness it sends its light abroad to every nook and corner; this is the parable of Christ sent on earth to redeem man. It is not strange that we turn from evil to good, for man has the highest possibilities in him which by Christ's aid can be carried out. We are children of God, not of Darkness. We talk of man's character as being a separate thing from his spiritual nature, but a christian is nothing but a man with a true character. The fullest human life is the fnllest human experience.
