Appleton Chapel.

Bishop Vincent preached last night at Appleton Chapel. He took the text, "Thy commandment is exceeding Broad." Science, he said, appeals to the intellect, religion to the moral nature. Science deals with what we see around us, with what is tangible; religion is something that has to do with the unseen and the future. Thus it is but natural that science should be the more popular among men. It is often objected against religion that it is narrow. There can be no doubt that in the church there is some narrowness. Different sects are always quarreling and with regard to unimportant points there come differences that break up whole towns and even sometimes cause wars. It is not only in religion, however, that there are different parties and quarrels coming from unimportant things. In politics there are always two parties contending against each other. It is the same in many matters of life. So it seems as if it is not religion which is narrow, but only human nature cropping out in this as in everything else. Religion is broad in every way, in the time which it covers,- for it extends over eternity,- in its work, which is the redemption of mankind.

It is often objected to religion that it places on a young man many restrictions that debar him from many of the pleasures of life. Though this may be somewhat true, the privation is no more than what a young man must undergo in any training. When he is working for an athletic team he must always be denying himself. In religion all the restriction he must place over himself is to learn to control himself and to build up his character on a firm foundation.
