Appleton Chapel was crowded to the door yesterday afternoon at the last vesper service of the year. The opening exercises were led by Professor F. G. Peabody and the sermon preached by Rev.

As Christ that day asked for the best room in the house for His last communion with His disciples, so today He stands asking us all for our best room.

Let us yield Him our best room, our best efforts, and He will inspire us with lofty aims and steadfast courage. Mr. William L. Whitney sang "Tears of grief, shame and anguish," from Spohr's "Calvary," and the choir sang the "Chorus of the Sons of Japhet," from Rubinstein's "Tower of Babel."
