AT BAYFIELD, CHAPEL.
REV. JOHN n. MOTT BREACHES
 SCHOLARLY SERMON.

Says Christian Religion is Matter of
 VIII POwer-Character the Product of
 ChoIces-PeopIe Had Rather Follow
 Examples Than Set Preeedents-Re-
 sponsibiIlty Fosters Individuality.
 The Rev. John R. Mott of New York, a graduate of Princeton university, was the preacher of the day at Battell chap el Sunday morning, and delivered an eloquent and scholarly sermon on the bearing of will power on the Christian religion. The attendance was unusu- ally large. He began by saying that in the Christian religion will power was an essential factor, and that the people of the world should make practical the work of God He then said that many people belived. perhaps, in certain creeds, but did not live up to them through worldly fear and other req sons. Religion was not a sentimental emotion, he said, but as Harry Drum mond has written, religion without any emotion is practically no religion and i that men strongly under religious in 1 fuence became great many times deeply penitent. The gist of religion, however, he said, was the will and that truth does not enter a closed mind. He then Interestingly Illustrated his point by telling several stories of re- ligious entanglement that different uni- Yersity men had had with whom he came in contact. He also said that if lone brings his will into play in regard to religion he will discover life. Christ came into the world to give tremendous l help to man, but it was necessary for man to struggle to certain extent alone ,as man had his own Individuality and choice, and that Christ would not Iattempt to force our decisions.
 He then said that indecision robbed people of many things, including their nerve force, and said that falterers nev- CT succeeded in any thing they attemp- lted.
 StonewalI Jackson, he said, had been conceded by the highest military critics to be a great genius in war, and though very deliberate in making up his mind, once he had done so he proceeded to act.
 He then said that character was the product of choices, and said that any one could make selfish or unselfish choices daily. Indecision, he said, final- I 1ly becomes a fixed habit and a person thus afflicted fails in a crisis.
 He then said that procrastination is Ethe enemy of mankind. Students should think decisively in their undergraduate days beforelit was too late. Indecision, he said. was a disease of the will, and that conclusive thinking was one of the Important things of undergraduate life.
 I He then said that the true Christian follows Christ and quoted Bushnell Iwho said that if we break out into beau- ty we break out into song.
 I Ha concluded by saving that wheY
