Vesper Service.

Yesterday evening at the Vesper Service, Rev. Brooke Herford took his text from Daniel, 9th chapter 3rd verse, "And I set my face unto the Lord God."

It is a mistake to think of right and wrong as two definite places with a sharp dividing line between them. Right and wrong should be regarded as directions. If we take this latter view we shall be saved much temptation and sin. A man is led into sin by thinking wrong. He endeavors to go as far as possible towards this imaginary line without crossing from the right side to the wrong one, and before he is aware he has sinned. If on the other hand he had steadfastly set his face towards the Lord, he would have avoided the sin.

Dr. Herford read a portion of the 6th chapter, not, he said, to enlarge upon it or explain it, but because this chapter so well illustrated his text.

During the service the choir sang the following anthems: No Shadows Longer-Gaul; Harken Unto My Voice-Smart; The Lord is very Pitiful-(Tenor solo from Oratoreis of S. Peter by Benedict.) Soloist, Mr. J. H. Ricketson, Boston.
