Chapel Services.

Sundays services opened by the choir
singing the anthem, "The True-heart-
3D." Reading of the scriptural lesson,
the 72nd Psalm, was followed by the
congregation singing the hymn, "Shall
we Meet Beyond the River" and prayer
by the chaplain, Rev. J. H. Albert. ii
The Chaplain took his text from
Ecclesiastes XII-13. "Fear God and
keep His commandments, for this is
the whole duty of man." He began his
discourse by delineating the race char
acteristics of the Jews which distin-
guishes them from all other people.
The quality which is most developed in
their character is intensity of purpose.
No one can hate like Jew, no one can
love with the intense affection and
depth of emotion for the objects that

laim his attachment and reverence.

Wherever we find him in America,
Europe, Africa or Asia, mixing with
all peoples, all races and all creeds he is
the same in this respect. 1t is fixed in
his nature to throw his whole heart and
soul into his thoughts, desires and aims.
In America we talk about patriotism
and boast of our intense love of coun-
try, but, when compared with the Jews,
we have no conception of it whatever.
More than eighteen hundred years ago
Titus destroyed Jerusalem, but today
it is still sacred to them. All their
pride of race and religion clings to it's
memory and mourns it's fall. Its walls,
crumbled by war and age, have for GEN.
turtles been venerated, kissed and mos-
tened with their tears.
Solomon, more than any other great
figure of the race, exemplified this ex-
IRENE intensity of the Jewish charac-
ter Elevated to the throne of Israel
while yet in his youth, he inherited
wealth, beside which the fortunes of
our modern millionaires appear insig-
nificant. He loved pleasure, learning,
and the glory of his station, and in all
of them he went to excess. His pur-
pose was to excel in all things whether
good or bad, and in this he was the ex-
preston of his people. But when he
had become surfeited with pleasure and
the fame of his name what had he to
show for it? There was no peace of
mind, no comfort, moral or spiritual, to
cheer or inspire him with the hope of
future reward. Amid spendor and
wealth he could but mourn that "All
is vanity and vexation of spirit" So
it is with us all in our purposes. We
must have intensity only when it can
be used to advance truth, righteous
ness and noble aims in life. Yielding
to vice, dissipation and sensual pleas
ure, and the pain of regret, of sorrow
and of remorse will follow and leave
aught but Solomon's lament Gall is
vanity and vexatiOn of spirit
One trouble with people of our day
is that they take despairing view of
the affairs of life. They have no regard
for the past, no faith in the present and
little hope for the future. They lack
spirit and seem to be out of tune with
nature. The remedy for this is plain.
When we rise in the morning we must
survey the days work before us and
ask ourselves how would Jesus Christ
do it, and in what spirit would He enter
on the work. He is our eXample-the
model by which we must pattern our
lives and guide our everyday affairs.
When in doubt as to what course to
pursue in our dealings with our fellow
men we should think of how He would
act and try to do likewise. The sum
total Of Christianity is to follow Christ,
and when we exemplify His virtues we
live for our God. TO follow Him does
not consist merely in saying we are
Christians, in attending church or
Boosting of our charities and virtues,
but in practicing what He has taught
as the divine commands and unchange-
able purpose of God.

peal to his hearers to ever look on the
bright side of life and seek the cOnsola.
