The Vesper Service at Appleton Chapel yesterday was very largely attended, and many of those present seemed to think that it was the best one given so far this year.
Rev. Brooke Herford of Boston spoke on procrastination. He said that some one had named it the "Lust of finishing," and he thought the term applied remarkably well. He could not emphasize too strongly the necessity of resisting the sin of procrastination. It would be better if necessary to go to the other extreme. Jump out with both feet at once. Don't always be too cautious and look before you leap, but sometimes leap before you look. If you have got a thing to do, do it, and have it over with. Few realize how much time will be saved in the end. Beware of the "Lust of Finishing."
The singing was excellent. The soloist, Mr. J. C. Bartlett of Boston, sang Mendelssohn's "O, for the Wings of a Dove" especially well.
During the service the choir sang the following anthems: I am Alpha and Omega-Stainer; O, for the Wings of a Dove-Mendelssohn; Just as I am.
