Professor F. G. Peabody preached yesterday afternoon in Appleton Chapel from the text "And when He had sent the multitude away, He went up into the mountain apart to pray; and where the evening was come, He was then alone."

How striking are the events in Jesus' life. He feeds the multitude and then goes off to the mountain alone in His turn to be fed and refreshed by communion with God and nature. It is only at such a time as this when, exhausted and parched by his constant labors with with men, He turns to God that He may acquire new strength and to nature that He may receive again that wonderful freshness of inspiration and beauty which the study of His purity brings to all. In the morning He returns to His work strong in His confidence in God and eloquent in those beautiful ideals which nature has inspired.

We can hardly recall this alternating life of Jesus Christ without remembering a dear spirit, Frank Bolles, taken from us but a short week ago. His vocation was with men and his work dry and parching enough to have shrivelled the enthusiasm and imagination of any man. But called by God, it would seem, to fill this position, he turned it into an office of kindness and humanity. Many a poor student felt through him the very kindliest influence of the University. He made the position what it now is and yet without an avocation he would have been unable to carry on this constant wearing labor. After his work was done, the multitude satisfied, he went off to the woods, there to seek peace and rest among the birds, his constant companions and friends. Even the next day when he returned to work he carried some of the freshness and love of nature with him and seemed to impart it to those about. Thus living between the busy life of this college world and the peaceful life of the woods he seemed prepared for the passing into that more perfect life beyond.
