AT YALE UNIVERSITY.

3attell chapel yesterday morning. His ext was John vi, 10-12. A brief ex- ;ract from his remarks is as follows: "The two fundamental words of Johns epistle and gospel are testimony and belief, the first external, the second internal, which takes the gift into his soul and draws from it living power. Belief answers to testi- mony and life is the result-a life of pecu- liar and enduring character, eternal.
 "Our text brings these words in their mutual relation before us. We may think l out thoughts relating to our present life, but the soul asks something more than ! this The minds thinking is not sufficient ! to see what the soul desires to know. Here l is need of divine message. Testimony l must come. Thus dim hopefulness becomes l a reality, a truth full of blessing. The uncertainty is ended. But for the testi- mony to be received, they must believe. Unlecs they meet, 1.-the moving of the life at. tains no new influence. It is kind of life. The forces of the soul will not be but forth to receive the testimony if there is not belief. But of these two things the one is complete and finished, the other be- gins and grows. The testimony complete, the response of faith is part of the power of the growing life. 'Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is the begotten of God.' This blessed sonship begins when the testimony is received. In these days we may believe without our belief affect ing the soul. Soul faith, rather than mind faith is of course necessary. But the belief that Jesus is the Christ is the earliest movement of faith. In it is the | first principle of the divine life of the soul. | In this belief the man is born anew on the way of growth, which follows naturally | from the seed.
 The writer of this epistle lived longer | than the rest of Jesus disciples and seems to have thought more deeply on matters | of the soul. The faith, he tells us, is in the life power and the life powers work on power. The beginning looks to the
 contamination. We are yet children of God
 and not yet do we know what we shall be. HEAVY LOSS TO YALE.
 The New York World in recent issue says: It is feared that Yale was caught
 mapping when she allowed President liar
 per to entice Professor Knapp away to the
 new Chicago university. For Professor
 Knapp has few superiors as teacher of
 Romance languages. That new universi-
 ty, by the way, is starting out Minerva
 like, full grown at it's birth. Hale in
 Latin, Laughlin in history and political ! economy, John Williams White-if he
 goes therein Greek and Knapp in mod
 ern languages are "big four" who would
 adorn any university. And if Prof. von
 Hoist comes over from Germany to teach
 American politics, as he seems likely to do,
 he will be prize, indeed.
