At the chapel, yesterday afternoon, Rev. Washington Gladden took his text from John I. 1.

He said: The dogmatic explanation of the manifestation of life is that John has seen life everlasting. This explanation, however, does not answer, for endless life can't be manifested to man. The elements referred to are the moral and spiritual elements, perfect divine humanity and perfect truth.

In any truly heroic life, is there not something more than human? We can estimate pleasure, but who can say how much it is one's duty to do this or that? The difference between truth and falsehood is immeasurable; one can't take an intermediate stand. A mother's love is limitless; it gives all and lasts forever. Was there not a divine element in the death of Sydney Carleton, and though but fiction, what a lesson it should teach us! Should we not in our lives include divine elements? Emerson well phrased it in the following aphorisom: "Don't leave the sky out of your landscape," During the service the choir sang the following anthems: "In Thee, O, Lord," Tours; Solo from "Prodigal Son," Sullivan; "Peace I leave with you," Roberts. Solist, Wilheim Heinrich.
