 Work.
 The first Sunday morning service of the college year was held in Bsttell chapel yesterday morning. President Dwight preached a sermon appropriate to the re- opening of the chapel after the additions and attractions which have been made during the past summer, and also paid touching tribute to the memory of the late Professor E. T. Mclaughlin. He said in part:
 Seventeen years ago on the 18th day of June, 1876, the building in which we now worship was set apart and consecrated to the worship of God. And 1t may now be appropriate for us in our renewed and rem ovated chapel to rededicate and reconse- crate the place in which the sons of Yale have worshipped for so long time, and at the same time to consider what this build ing ia and what 1t stands for. Its first and greatest use Is for the worship of God. And the consecrated house tells of the sanctifed spirit Tkfs is Christian uni- versity and ss such its central building is the church.
 Another advantage and use of such 8 building as this is that of common meet l ing place for the members of the univer- sity. The ideal of this university-the ideal which it's sons so often proclaim-is 8 moral ideal. And as we walk about these grounds and live in this place let us listen | to the testimonies of by-gone days which | speak to us. They are not always testi- l monies which can be heard with the ear. l And thus let us strew together into our selves the benefit of the experience of the 200 years which have preceded us.
 As we now gather together for another year, my thoughts rest upon enc who was
 here with us in the fitness of his power
 when tho last year closed. He was one of the younger officers of the university and contributed much to his mental develop ment. Many will remember him as having ! been of great use to them in their indi-
 vidual metal life. His career was opening
 with 8 fulness of power which gave evi
 dence of great future. We looked for
 large things from him.
 He was happy member of the brother
 hood He bresthed the air of this place
 as true son of the university. He heard
 the voice which we heard not upon tn,
 summers morning and followed it beyond
 our sight-beyond our sight truly, but no
 beyond the power of the brotherhood. In the evening President Dwight sd
 dressed the general religious meeting o
 the university in Dwight hall. He spok ! esps cially to the bers of the incomin,
 class. W. H. Salmon, '94, who conducted
 the service, read letter from Dwight L
 Moody, who is conducting the evangelisti
 work st the worlds fair. He ssys that tn
 expenses incurred were very heavy and sp | pealed to members of the university fo 1 aid to carry on the work. A collection wa imme diately taken and a considerable sun of money was contributed.
 Fire Last Evening. Il The alarm of fire last evening from bo
 81 was for 6 fire in an old barn on Lon
 bard street. The barn was used to stor
 old boxes. It was destroyed. a1 Wedding.
