Rev. Newman Smythe, of New Haven, preached at Appleton Chapel last evening. He read as the evening lesson portions of the eleventh chapter of Revelations, selecting the nineteenth verse as the text for his sermon. He said that the old Hebrew-Christian belief that there is a heavenly consummation of every earthly good is not only true, but contains many lessons for us. We must not measure this consummation by earthly standards, but by ideal ones. And in this is to be found its lessons for us. He then applied the value of ideals in the life of man as an individual, then in his narrowest circle of association-the home; and next in his broader association with his fellow man-the city. He also said that in our very ideals we find a pledge of their reality, and that faith furnishes a still more satisfactory pledge. The last lesson drawn from the text was that with our ideals, the uplifting of our souls, comes the power for their accomplishment.
The opening anthem by the choir was Atwood's "Enter not into judgment," "The sun shall be no more thy light by day," by Woodward, "Nunc Dimittis," by H. O. Whiney, were also sung.
