24 THE ASHBURIAN CHAPEL GTES H143 decor of the Chapel has been greatly improved during the past year. During the summer, the Hoof of the Chapel was covered with linoleum and tile in a maroon and gray colour which blends in with the rest of the Chapel. We were also pleased to see new choir pews arrive early in the Fall term. They have been a great asset. The Mothers' Guild have made us two new sets of hangings.-the white and the green, and we are very proud of them. All of these improvements have enhanced the beauty of the Chapel, and add much to the reverence of the services. The general plan of services for the year has been to have one ll a.m. lloly Communion service a month, with Morning Prayer at the other morning services. There have also been Holy Communion services on special days. Short l'ivensong has been held Sunday evenings as usual. There has also been daily morning prayer. During daily services, the Prefects have read the lessons, and on Sunday mornings the lessons have been read by the Captain of the School.

The Headmaster read the lesson, and the Chaplain gave the sermon. Nlr. Lord concluded his sermon with ,these lines: And Cod poured an exquisite wine, That was daily renewed to him, ln the clear-welling love of his peoples That was daily accrued to him. llonour and service we gave him, rejoicingly fearless, Faith absolute, trust beyond speech, and a friendship as peerless, And since he was master and servant in all that we ask him, We leaned hard on his wisdom in all things, Knowing not how we tasked him. We accepted his toil as our right-none spared, none excused him, When he was bowed by his burden, his rest was refused him.
