Appleton Chapel.

Dr. Van Dyck's text yesterday evening was 1 Cor. 6: 20, "For ye are bought with a price." He said: There is a great truth here. Liberty is the recognition of the highest law, the law of love and gratitude. So then true liberty is the highest kind of bondage. There are three broad statements in regard to life that I wish to submit to you and ask you for a judgment upon their truth.

1. The sense of belonging to something is essential to our happiness.

2. The true uplifting and emancipation of our life comes through the recognition of the higher ties and relationships which bind us. I mean that the progress and elevation of the soul is a progress of discovery, not that it is independent and masterless, but that the lower laws and conditions under which it lives are subordinate to higher laws, and that its bondage in a certain sphere becomes transformed into liberty when it is lifted up into a higher sphere where he that seweth and that is sewed are subject unto Him who is sovereign over both.

3. The inward joy and power of our life, in every sphere, come from the discovery that its highest obligation rests at last upon the law of gratitude.

We desire our lives to be lives of freedom, of noble service, of glad and happy labor for that which is best. Then acknowledge Christ as our Saviour, owner, Master, King and confess the greatness of our obligation to Him.
