A year after this last meeting of Bishops at Cuddesdon,another was held, and the College chapel came in for farmore censure. Two days before the Lent Term began,some changes have to be made, February 2, 1857.—After chapel, went over to the Palace, wherethe Bishops of London, St. Davids, Llandaff, Salisbury, Glasgow, Chi-chester were dining. . After they had gone to their rooms, remainedto have a long talk with our Bishop. The Bishops of Glasgow andLondon have represented to him in the strongest terms the necessityof making the chapel less gaudy. Accordingly (i) the Cross hasbeen removed ; (2) the white and green Altar cloths are forbidden ; (3). ^>^..^.:/^. # t^k/Zi^ (^ oLt^cl^oCc/^ (fssej Complaints and Anxieties. 37 the painted figures on the wall are to be covered over ; and (4) thecelebrant is to stand at the end, not in front, of the Altar.

The Bishop was very kind, but very decided. Heobjected to a difference between our chapel services and those in theparish church. This was the principle of the alterations. It is not impossible that this lost ground, for such it is, may berecovered. If by a loss of external aids man is driven more and moreback upon the interior life, it will be well. But there were far graver anxieties for the College thanthe decisions of any merely trifling questions about details ofornaments
