Services to Queen Victoria.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Appleton Chapel was well filled on the occasion of the service in memory of Queen Victoria, Saturday afternoon. No elaborate decorations had been attempted, but the pulpit was draped with British and American flags, and with the purple of mourning.

After the invocation and scripture reading by Dr. Hale, Dr. Crothers made a brief address. He said in part:

S great have been the achievements under the last sixty years of British rule that the Victorian Age must be a mark in history. Yet it is not for this that we most honor the dead Queen, but from the witness of her life that "it is possible to live nobly, even in a palace." Because she was free from worldliness in the greatest of world-centres; because she held simple faith and love above all that the world could give, we forget the monarch we have lost, and remember only the woman and the friend.

The services closed with a prayer and benediction by Dr. McKenzie.
