We must beg to be excused for bringing up again a very old and worn-out subject, but it seems to us that a word in time may possibly save us from that daily bane which will soon threaten--a chapel service with the temperature somewhere near zero. The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained. It has been all along a crying shame that the chapel has not been properly warmed on cold mornings and as a result of this neglect, there has been much distress of mind and body as well as some vigorous language. We trust that the authorities will soon come to perceive that compulsory chapel and chilled congregations are not necessarily connected and that until we are allowed to follow our own dictates in the former matter, we will heartily appreciate the warming of our more material during chapel services.
