Calendar. - - - - - __?7° .CONGREGATION WEEK.//. THE CONGREGATION VESPER SERVICE.At the Congregation Vesper service held Sunday, October 7, the sermon was preached by theRev. F. E. Dewhurst, of the University Congregational Church, Chicago. His text was takenfrom 1 Cor. 13:6, "Love .... rejoiceth with thetruth." The following are the main thoughts ofhis discourse :Of the forces which sway and shape the lives of men noneare more fundamental or inclusive than the forces representedby Love and Truth. Of these Truth stands for the fact, thereality, the thing that actually is, and for man's effort to conform his thoughts and judgments to the reality. The earnestsearch for truth is also in its primary effect not so much asocializing as an isolating motive. In proportion as it gainshold of a man's life, it subordinates all other claims. It is ina sense, therefore, the centrifugal force of life.Love on the other hand is socializing. It shuns solitude,it implies interest in others. It is attended by sympathy andcompassion. It is the centripetal force of life.The primary interest drawing men and women to the university is the enlargement of the intellectual vision, thethirst for knowledge, the passion for truth, and the university fails of its function except as it kindles in the lives of allcomers the passion for truth.It would be surprising therefore, if those who enter intothe spirit of the university did not at one point and anotherfind the spiritual equilibrium disturbed, find the enlargementof intellectual view embarassing the former repose of thespirit. The horizons of life cannot perceptibly widen andleave the-perspeetive- Just what it-was- before.The world is full of people who still deem it the demoniacalmission of the university to shake the foundations of faith,to destroy the traditional heritage of religion. I appeal toyou to throw down the gauntlet to this challenge and to makethis your battle-cry, if battle-cry it need become, "Loverejoiceth with the Truth.'r The interests of faith and the religious life are in the end identical with those of truth andthe intellectual life. The bonds which hold social life secure,which hold men together in happiness and peace are thebonds woven as a many stranded cable from intellectualfreedom, courage and sincerity.The day hastens upon us when those who have the interestsof the religious life at heart, who believe in the permanentvalidity of faith, must join hands with all those who comebringing gifts from whatsoever shore of knowledge andresearch. The time is come when every great universitymay assume a new and more victorious role, and just as themediaeval schools became the great defenders of the faith,those of today, disdaining to defend what needs no defense,will aim rather to show faith serene and triumphant amidstall the readjustments* of modern life and, as one like unto theSon of Man appeared with the three Hebrews in Nebuchadrezzar's furnace, so will the form of faith appear tall andradiant in all the fiercest heat of modern doubt and research.Love rejoiceth with the truth ! This is the motto for thestudent of today, the motto at once of trust and of courage,the watchword of those who know that whatever readjust-274 UNIVERSITY RECORDments of territory come about in this world of thought andspirit, God's right of eminent domain is secure and unchallenged, and whenever he wishes it, " a highway shall bethere, and it shall be called a way of holiness .... and theransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion withsongs and everlasting joy upon their heads."The music on the occasion was furnished bythe choir of St. James Cathedral under the direction of Professor Wilhelm Middleschulte and wasgreatly enjoyed by the congregation. The selections rendered were the following : Grieg, " AveMaris Stella;" Protzerhoe, "Lead Kindly Light,"bass solo by Mr. John W. Linoc ; Rossini, " In-flammatus," chorus and soprano solo by MissJane Mcintosh ; Rheinberger, " Evening Hymn."CONSTITUTION OF THE GRADUATE CLUB OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO(AS AMENDED JUNE 7, 7900)ARTICLE I.NAME AND OBJECT.§ I.
