TRINITY COLl.l'IGE SCHOOL RECORD 5 X x g 4 ea, VO li KK g, O -. 054 A-T , Bells! Bells! Bells! These medieval inventions seem to govern our daily lives at T.C.S. The soundest sleeper hears their ominous tones too early in the morning .... the hungriest student thinks the bell will never ring to summon the school to Osler Hall for nutritional ammunition. The bells chime out too soon for classes and always seem late for their close. There is one bell that rings out over the campus, and summons the whole school to the Chapel. It starts a flow of young men towards God's House. Daily this bell fills our Chapel, and a school has a few minutes of quiet peace, as worship comes. Now there is silence in Chapel .... the organ prelude begins . . . and the daily service proceeds. tl do hope the reader will not consider the writer sacrilegiousl. The worship period is a holy Smorgasbord! Each boy will choose his need. Some will select praise and lift heart and voice to God's glory. Others will choose beauty, and let eyes roam over the appointments and decorations of the Chapel. Undoubtedly there will be some young worshipper who comes with worries and problems - and there will be sincere prayers for self or family or world peace. These prayers bring a constant reinforcement of comfort, courage and serenity. Sunday finds the Chapel glowingg new flowers are added to God's Altar by willing helpers. Fresh linens adorn the altar and candles seem to gleam brighter. Worship today is in technicolour for it is the Lord's own day. Early Communion passes in the swift breath of prayers and praise and thanksgiving . . . then matins with full choir has her later devotees. Sunday, the day of privilege, has begun. Parents and friends will arrive, and bells pass into the background. At 5,15 PM. the bell rings again and the formal worship of Evensong brings an ever ricreasing gallery and the student body into God's presence. The Coll'- e choir follows the solemn crucifer down the aisle. for a moment the Chanel is full of blue and white . . . the processional hymn swells in volume Hymns. canticles and responses . . . the Headmaster reads the New
