Appleton Chapel.

At Appleton Chapel yesterday evening Professor Lyon spoke on the necessity of work, John ix, 4. He said: Every one must work. The abolition of slavery did away with the idea that toil is degrading, and the present age exacts of each his daily task. Even the wealthy seek some useful employment. Work brings health, peace and happiness, and wonderfully develops the worker's character; how many put off work until the night comes! To how many does the sun pass into eclipse at noon-day! Christ's life of work was that of a young man, and his teachings and example should appeal strongly to all young men. Though as one biographer puts it the record of Christ's life would fill the world, yet it is all summed up in the single sentence "He went about doing good."

During the evening the choir sang the following anthems: "The Pillar of the Earth" - Tours. "All That God May give to Thee" - Richter. "Hear Me, When I Call" - King Hall.
