Yesterday evening Rev. George A. Gordon preached in Appleton Chapel taking his text from Rev., 5th chapter, 8th verse. He said: Some men build up the character of God as a florist puts together a bouquet of flowers. Just as the florist chooses the flowers that produce the best effect, and in this way makes out of nature something more beautiful than nature, so do these men picking out the noblest of human qualities form a character which they ascribe to God. This is the worst kind of atheism.

Much has been written as to whether morality can exist apart from religion. Mr. Matthew Arnold, taking a middle position, defines religion as morality touched with emotion. It is undoubtedly true that if there were no religion a minority would possess a certain kind of morality, but true morality can not exist without religion.

It is generally safe to trust to the religion of the heart, for a healthy instinct is better than a diseased reason.

During the evening the choir sang the following anthems: O Lord, How Manifold-Barnby; Sing Praises to the Lord-Percy L. Atherton '93; Like as the Hart-Hoyte.
