Rev. George Gordon spoke yesterday afternoon at the Vesper service. He said that in the ancient times most cities used to be surrounded by strong walls. Cities without walls, however, were not very rare, and they were often full of beautiful works of art, and their citizens famous in oratory and literature, but these were the defenceless cities, open on all sides to the attacks of enemies. It is just the same with human souls; those alone are secure from temptations which are well enclosed in a wall of moral courage and right. A man has no right to enter college, no right to enter the world unless he has this defense about him. Many men who are without it may be wits or philosophers or great writers, but they are sure to be morally weak.
