The above is a concise general description of the chief features of the chapel drawn from notes kindly furnished by Mr. W. D. Caröe (the architect), of 3, Great College Street, Westminster, to whose designs and under whose supervision the chapel has been erected. So far, therefore, there is not much difficulty. The difficulty begins when we commence to try and describe the many details of the chapel interior. It is almost impossible to convey adequately to a reader _all_ the many thoughts and ideas that have been worked up into and enwrapped in the carved stone or painted glass or mosaic that will go with other things to complete the little chapel. There is much that is very personal about it, perhaps too deep for words, but the spirit of the chapel may be the more easily comprehended, if only those who read this will remember three things. In the first place, it is a _morning_ chapel primarily, nay, essentially, intended for the administration of the Holy Communion. In the second place, it is to be _dedicated to the Holy Spirit_, “the Spirit of Truth,” the promised Comforter by whose light the hearts of all faithful people were to be taught and all the sayings of our Lord Jesus Christ were to be brought into remembrance. Lastly, it is a chapel which has been _built to the glory and praise of God_, and _as a memorial_ by children and descendants to their beloved parents and forefathers, of whom many, though born in New England and educated at her Universities of Harvard and Yale, have always valued and kept close the ties that bound them to that older England in which their forefathers were born, and to those older Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in which their forefathers were nurtured. Those who in the days before the Commonwealth went forth from the Old England across the broad Atlantic to lay the foundations of a Commonwealth not unworthy to be called by the name of New England carried with them from Oxford and from Cambridge the spirit of places where Culture was not as yet largely dissociated from Religion, and where faithful regard was as yet paid to a founder’s injunction: “Religionis puritatem ac vitæ ad posteros nostros propagare.” Their descendants may be pardoned if, looking back through the centuries to the great Universities of those days, and regarding them as centres not merely of culture, but also of religious light and truth, they picture them as being the instruments by which the Holy Spirit has moved the world, and have tried in the vaulting of the chapel roof to transmute this idea into carved stone. With these explanatory remarks it may now be possible to enable the reader the more easily to catch the spirit of the place. THE GROINED ROOF.
