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. We must regard them as an enemy, or a master, or a friend. Treating these matters as inimical, we violate the divine injunction to be faithful in the best of things. By allowing them to lead and control us we no longer serve God but mammon. But by faithfully attending to our worldly interests, yet without becoming contaminated by them, we show our fitness to be entrusted with things of much greater importance. The anthems sung by the choir were, "Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace," by Trimnell, and Mozart's "Judge Me. O God."
