Rev. Samuel M. Crothers conducted the regular service in Appleton Chapel yesterday afternoon, taking as his text Mattew vi, 19 and 20, "Lay not up for yourselves teasures upon earth; but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven."

Choose your part, he says; let the heart be fixed once and forever upon its true aim.

The choir sang, "Blessed is He," Tours; "If with all your hearts" (from Elijah), Mendelsohn, solo by E. M. Waterhouse '97; and "I will lay me down," Brown.
