Professor C. C. Everett was the preacher at Vesper Service yesterday afternoon. He read first from St. John, with reference to pointing out how the early Christians were continually crying against the world as it then existed. The world undoubtedly was full of wickedness at that time, and this had to be continually impressed upon early converts, in order to make their ideals what they should be.

We are now undoubtedly better than the world of old and yet we have the worldly man. In fact, not one of us is entirely free from worldliness. We are surrounded by men who have no better aim than to obtain riches for riches' sake, or power for power's sake, and we cannot but feel their influence. And still it is comforting to know that no man is entirely worldly. Every man has a noble ideal at some time in his life. We all realize, too, that that only is true living, which has for its aim the bettering of humanity. If our aim be to get riches, we hope to be able to do good with them, and our power we wish to use for a good result. The way to mend and be less worldly is to be sincere. Whatever be our aim, we must follow it out with earnest and honest conviction.

The choir sang the following anthems: Lift up your Heads, Hopkins; I will Mention, Sullivan; Be thou Faithful unto Death, Mendelssohn. The soloist was Mr. J. H. Ricketson.
