Rev. F. G. Peabody preached in Appleton Chapel last night from the text, "For their sakes I sanctify myself," taken from the seventeenth chapter of the gospel of St. John. For hundreds of years, he said, the tendency in the church and in the whole world has been towards individualism. Every man should work for himself and his first duty was to perfect himself for his own sake. Within the last few years there has arisen a spirit of socialism regarding the individual as of no consequence, but the good of the whole world or the whole nation as the only thing worth considering. The Christian point of view is explained by Christ's words, "for their sakes I sanctify myself,"-the cultivation and elevation of the individual as the means with the good of the whole world for the end. Christ does not regard the individual soul as of little consequence, but neither does He regard the salvation of the individual as the end of existence. To have the whole good, we must have each of the parts perfect. We are all members, one of another, and to help the whole we must first sanctify ourselves. In a University like Harvard this is a principle that is very applicable. To make the University strong and influential each individual student must do his duty faithfully. Here we are so closely bound together that a few men going wrong can do untold harm, while on the other hand a good work started by a few may be carried on indefinitely.
