A large congregation was at Chickering Hall, April 24, to hear a sermon by Rev. M. B. G. Eddy on this text, Luke xiv. 30: "This man began to build, and was not able to finish."

Adam's character-building was unfinished, because he was dishonest and cowardly. When the idea of evil entered he yielded to it, and Satan, or error, triumphed in Adam's thought.
