At the vesper service yesterday Professor Everett's remarks were suggested by the parable of the Prodigal Son. Too many he said are striving for husks. Husks have their place in this life, for how could the grain ripen without them, but husks should not be made the aim of life. Money, power, pleasure, friendship, even religion may be converted into husks, if pursued with base motives.

There is, however, a heart in the world, and this is love. Any man that loves something outside of himself, be it beauty, truth, religion, God, gets just so much of real life, but he who lives for himself alone gets the husks. As an old Eastern poet says: "Heaven is but one step beyond yourself."

During the service the choir sang the following anthems: "Praise Ye The Father," - Gounod. "For I am the Lord," - Wareing. "Lord God of Abraham," (from Elijah). - Mendelssohn. Soloist, M. C. E. Hay.
