stances services have been held only a por-
son Of the year. On Sunday. March llth,
he remodeied chapel was reopened for
Divine worship. No one could look at the
beautiful room and note the evident salts
faction Of those assembled there, without
feeling that the outlay for the improvement
md enlargement of the chapel had been
wisely made. For the pat few months the
prevalence of dipniheria has rendered it un-
to assemble the inmates for public /
'ervices.
