Dr. Brooks preached at the Chapel last evening. He took his text from the ninth chapter of John, the thirty-fifth and following verses. He said that there is always a great attraction for us in the mental processes of men. In the text the whole religious experience of a man is described. The mental processes in this experience are typical and contain lessons for us. The question of Christ, "Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" comes to the man unexpectedly, and so it does to all of us. But we are all conscious of the incompleteness, the fragmentary character of our life, and there is an underlying conviction that there is something which will unify the fragments and make our lives complete. With this question comes a dawning consciousness that it is faith in Christ which will accomplish this. In his answer the man displays that receptive spirit which is essential in the Christian, for the Christian is inclusive, not exclusive. The personal element in Christ's relationship to each of us was the lesson drawn from his reply, "Thou hast seen Him and it is He that talketh with thee."

The choir sang the anthem, "A Hymn of the Homeland," by Sullivan "Teach Me Thy Ways" by Giovanni Croce and Smart's "Hearken Unto My Voice."
