Appleton Chapel.

Rev. Brooke Herford conducted service in Appleton Chapel last evening and took as his text St. Luke, Chapter 16, verse 8, "The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light."

The sermon was an exposition of how hard and persistently people work to attain low ends and to what an extreme they carry worldly lives; and ended with an exhortation to extend those energies in a worthier and higher cause. The story of the unjust steward was cited as a proof of how far worldliness may be carried when resolved to attain its end, and the history of the years of laborious and painstaking work of the Eastern dancing girls was given as an example of how hard people do strive for success in the lower grades of life. Then another sect, that which ran after pleasure and amusement, was treated of. It was shown what zeal this class expended and what fatigues they underwent for mere pleasure.

After recounting the glories of a life of a great apostle as compared with that of a mere worldly man, the discourse was concluded with an appeal to men and women to improve their time and energies. They were asked to strive after the higher aims of life and to spend their few years in this world in something improving and elevating.

The choir sang the following anthems: O Come ye Servants-Tye; Jerusalem-Parker; God that Madest Earth and Heaven-Fisher.
