Rev. Professor Francis G. Peabody conducted the services at Appleton Chapel last night. He spoke on the power of the endless life or the meaning of immortality. Immortality, he thought, is the highest motive force of life for righteousness. But he was careful to have it understood that it is not the only motive; immortality might be taken away and still the motives of self interest, of pure happiness, of wisdom in preference to folly would remain. Immortality may even become a harmful motive,- that is when it is sought selfishly.

But on the other hand it may, and should, be the greatest of all helps to righteousness. It should bring conviction of the meaning of life, a knowledge of its significance. In all departments of life is this true. When properly sought it gives length to thought, breadth to duty, and depth to feeling. Immortality must be sought to be known as a fact. It is only when it is tried as a motive force that the meaning and power of the endless life can be known. The significance of Easter is that it offers every man another opportunity to make immortality the motive force of his life.

The choir sang Sullivan's Easter carol, Christ is Risen, and his anthem, I will Mention; also Barnby's anthem, Awake Up My Glory.
