Dr. Hale announced in chapel that the morning exercises for the next three weeks would follow the course which he roughly blocked out in his sermon on Sunday evening. The Divine Law for human life requires, first, personal purity. "The wisdom from above is first pure." For three or four days the service will follow the special instructions for bodily training. The wisdom from above is next peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated. The instructions for Christian living, the habits of a gentle man follow on those for physical training. Lastly and chiefly, Christian ethics require active work and good fruits. The instructors for the divine order of life are not complete till they tell a man what to do. Dr. Hale said in his sermon that he had been tempted to compile a pocket testament-like Cromwell's Pocket Bible-which should contain a hundred texts arranged in this order: 1, a pure body; 2, what a man should be; 3, what he should do. These will be the lines followed in Chapel for the next three weeks.
