He said that as there were regions in space of which mortals have no cognizance, so there were heights of morality and truth of which the wicked were ignorant. Unrighteous men prostrate themselves before the throne of pleasure, or profit, or reputation, unaware of the grandeur and beauty of the throne of Heaven, which is the source of all true happiness and lasting benefit. The choir sang the anthem "O how Amiable are Thy Dwellings," by Banaby; Mr. Gardner S. Lamson, of the class of '77, sang the "Lord God of Abraham," from Mendelssohn's Elijah.
