The Chapel Clerks were Anderson. Lynn and Gamble. Thanks to them everything went smoothly and well. This was most fortunate as the Sunday congregations have continued to fill the Chapel. Our jewish boys have not been forgotten. On several occasions Rev. Xlonks took a group to Saturday Xlorning Synagogue Service. The boys were also present at Berger ll's Bar-Xlityva. We were honoured by several visits from Rabbi lfckstein of the Chapel Street Synagogue. XYe appreciate the contribution of our Chapel organists.

THE ASHBURI.-ZN 11 CHAPEL NOTES This year the Chapel continued to be the hub around which the life of the school was centred. To the great majority of the school dailv prayers and Sunday Services were a continuous source of guidance. inspiration and encouragement. An increasing number of boys and masters have shown an interest and been active in the services. One innovation was the XYednesday morning change of routine with Mr. Perry leading the prayers and one of the Nlasters reading the lesson. Mr. Perry has, as usual, shown the deepest interest in our Chapel. Tl-Ili CHOIR The Choir has had a good yearg Nlr. Hewitt has had a better than usual amount of talent to work with and the singing has been much better. KYe all appreciate the good work of our faithful Choir Xlothers, Xlrs. Thurston, Mrs. Xlonks and Klrs. Perley, who were on hand before the services to see that the Choir was presentable and ready. The Choir sang at St. Bartholomew's Church and also at Christ Church Cathedral. It was a credit to the school on both occasions. Some of the boys excelled. Our special thanks to Nlr. Hewitt for a very good year. One of the reasons for our happy Chapel is the interest and effort of so many people. VVe were fortunate to have had Nlr. Harwood-jones at the organ. VVhat would we do without the help of Xlr. Sibley and Nlr. Snelgrove playing for the Senior Morning Chapel? Nlr. Sibley's hymn- singing practice on Fridays is the main reason for the good congregational singing. VVe are very much indebted to Hrs. Hendricks and the ladies of the domestic staff who keep the chapel so clean and tidy. Visitors to the Chapel included a number of interesting Ottawa clergy.

THE :ISHBURIAN 13 Nidrei and told us about its history, describing it as the most sacred of all jewish music. It is with great regret that we say Au rcvoir to Rev. Xlr. .-Xttwell who is leaving us. He came here three short years ago from a parish in the Diocese of Ontario and is going to a parish in the Diocese of Ottawa. We are going to miss the sincerity and good humour of a very conscien- tious and devoted Chaplain. We wish him every happiness and hope he will visit us in the future. Altogether, the Chapel has afforded almost everyone in the school a chance to serve God in one way and another, and like the Psalmist we can say, Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, brethren, to dwell together in unity. The reading of the daily lesson by the prefects, and by the Head Boy on Sunday, has been done well and conscientiously. This year again it was our pleasure to have the young ladies of Elm- wood with us for many of the Sunday Services, usually accompanied by Mrs. Blyth and other members of her staff. XVe were very pleased to welcome the Elmwood Choir which was with us on two occasions, to worship with us and also to sing an anthem. XVe thank their Choir Director, Nlrs. Harwood-jones, for making this possible. On several occasions the Elmwood Head Boarder, Xliss Deborah Monk, read the lesson. We always look forward to having Xlr. lYilliam Navan, the blind organist, lay reader and server at St. Xlargarets Eastview. who brings his junior choir to the Chapel and also preaches. The Candlelight Service was the best ever and a credit to Nlr. Hewitt. THE CHAPEL OFFERINGS l. Part of our offerings was used to buy new hymn books to replace those that are worn out by daily use. 2. A cheque was sent to Capt. Dicks of the Church .-Xrmy. After his sermon about his work in the prisons and courts, we decided we should hel . P 3. A contribution of S151 was sent to aid in the restoration of the parish Church at Ashbury in England.
