Appleton Chapel.

Rev. Robert Collyer of New York spoke last night on a text from Isaiah 38: viii.- "Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz ten degrees backward." Hezekiah, king of Israel was very sick and being warned by Isaiah that he was going to die prayed to the Lord for his life. He recovered. He had thought all his work was done, his sun had almost set; when suddenly the shadow on the dial began to creep backward, he regained a portion of his youthful strength and he finds that many a days work is yet before him. So it is with many of us. Misfortune or advancing years makes us feel that there is but little left for us to do. A young generation perhaps has sprung up to take our place; but if we turn resolutely to our duty we find the field for work widening before us and the "shadow on the sun dial" begins to creep backward.

The choir sang the following an thems: "Come Holy Ghost," Dowland; "I will love Thee," W. B. Gilbert; "I will lay me down," O. B. Brown.
