 is, dear brethren, not a time at which I should naturally seek an additional opportunity of addressing you. The solemn and affectionate words of such a Lenten course as that which will end to-day lay upon us quite enough responsibility, lest by our neglect or indifference we make them increase our condemnation. My wish would be to warn you of the danger, rather than to add to it. But I ask your attention for a few minutes, because in the opening of our new Chapel we are approaching a great event in our College life, and a new epoch which it is to inaugurate. To such an event the rule, "Do all to the glory of God," must especially apply; and I feel that upon me, as the Head of our Society, falls a clear duty to suggest to you the thoughts with which it should be met. When we assemble next term, it will be on the threshold of S. Mark's Day, and whatever I have to say must be said now. So I speak this morning.
