This morning the chapel will be provided with new books for responsive readings. For some time it has been felt that the book merely of psalms was inadequate and had altogether too little variety. On that account a new book was sought, one that should have passages of suitable length and at the same time be appropriate. Such a book Dr. Henry Van Dyke compiled about two year's ago. Owing to unavoidable delays it has been impossible to make use of it until now. The arrangement of the book is by subjects suitable to different moods and different seasons. The service this morning will be largely taken up with an account of its purpose and of how it came to be compiled.

On a line with this reform there are to be new hymn books. They are already in the hands of the printer and will be put in use before very long.
