trines. but simply present Jesus Christ as a
personal ideal.
Right Rev. S. C. EdsaIl. d. D., Bishop
of Minnesota, delivered the sermon at the
evening service in SF1ttuck Hall. saying:
The sacrihcfal death OF our martyr Presi-
dent has brought to the minds OF the American
people the outpourng Of the spirit Of God upon
them. In a time of prosperity. when men had
all they needed when there was an abundance
OF material things. there was a danger that
the American people should forget their God /;
there was danger OF growing cynictSm and
irreverence among them. In this time of great
prosperity ard where there was a danger of
the forgetting OF God. there rings out a shot
heard throughout this country. A man, the
very embodiment Of God. is stricken down as
sacrifice to the sins OF the American people.
In the silence Of the throngs upon the streets
TO church. there Is seen the instrument at
work touching the heart of the American peO
pie and bringing them back to the old truths
throughout the history of the world there
comes rebuke to the skepticism of mankind.
Right Rev. A. c. A. Hall, D. D., Bishop
of Vermont, delivered the morning SER
mon in Shattuck Hall, upon Christian
love and self-denial- The services were
conducted by the Rev. George E. Swan,
rector of the church and a fully vested
choir was in attendance. The hall was
crowded to the utmost capacity with
worShiperS.
DR.. Halls sermon was eloquently de-
livered. He said in part:
The great rule laid down by Christ is. Love
God supremely and love thy neighbor thy
self Follow this and all of the old negative
commandments will take care of themselves.
There is no need Of long detailed promises if
you love him supremely and your neighbor as
yourself
Many of US and young people especially. are
apt think that the Christian religion con-
ssts of a set of tiresome restrictions. So long
as we think of our religion in that sort of a
way haven't got hold of the distinguishing
characteristics of our Lords religion Be your
fullest and highest self in honor and in
vice of Lord. Christian self-denial is al
ways the letting go of the lower in order that
we may lay hold of something more precious
1t is as much part of Christian religion to
abhor all things bad as it is to love all things
good.

Rolla v. Watt made a few pointed re-
marks at the close Of Bishop Potter's ad-
dress. He urged the young men to stand
firm as Christians, and to assist the asso-
