14 THE ASHBURIAN The Candle Light Service, properly called the Service of The Nine Lessons, took place on December 15th at 8.00 p.m. for parents and visitors and again for the boys on Tuesday at 4.00 p.m. VVe were pleased to welcome the junior Choir from St. BartholomeW's Church among our guests. As our choir was not quite strong enough to carry it alone, Xlr. Godfrey Hewitt, the Master of the Choir brought several boys from the Cathedral Choir to help. The Chapel now has a Sacristan. This year Cann I took on the service of looking after the Sanctuary, changing the hangings, preparing the altar and many other details. He was very efficient and conscien- nous. THE CHAPEL OFFERINGS l. The Chapel tries to be self-supporting by purchasing hymn and prayer books, flowers and other supplies. 2. XVe still continue to support two Zulu boys at St. Christopher's School in Swaziland. They are very appreciative and two of them are corresponding with two of our boys. Millar is writing to Enock Bmingo and Armitage is in touch with David Mathe. Any- one else interested in an African pen-pal should get the address from the Chaplain. 3. 'We hope to send a donation of 35150 to the Ashbury Village church in England. They are in urgent need of assistance to repair the church roof which has been weakened by the death watch beetle. THE SERVERS The Servers' Guild is a group of boys who offer their services for anything that is required for the chapel. This year, as usual, they have been active. Last September while the choir was being reorganized they supplied a temporary choir. Both the Co-Head Servers preached very acceptable sermons at the two Servers Services. Both put in many hours being trained. Brian johnston preached on Dec. lst on Observing Lent . The subject of Love's sermon was Onward Christian Soldiers . These servers also preached at St. Bartholomew's, St. Margaret's, All Saints, and other Ottawa Churches. Both of them were a credit to Ashbury. The Chapel Clerks lietfcr, Anderson, and Lynn have served faith- fully and well. XYe recommend them for future Sidcsmen and Church Wardens.

We hope it will be a permanent arrangement. The Headmistress, Mrs. Blyth, has been most co-operative. TYith her permission, the Elmwood Choir assisted with the singing on Sunday jan. 26 and they sang an anthem l'The Lord is my Shepherd . Their attractive green robes were a pleasing contrast to the red cassocks of the Ashbury choir. The lesson was read by the head boarder .Xliss Jeanette MacDonald. We hope this will become a yearly event. On Sunday Nlar. 15 Nlr. TYilliam Navan. the blind organist and Lay Reader at St. Nlargarefs Eastviexv. brought his junior choir to the chapel. They sang an anthem entitled Souls of Alon and joined with the Ashbury choir for the rest of the service. with Xlr. Xavan at the organ. It was an added touch to the beauty, dignity and reverence of the Service.
