Chapel: A Tip for the Clubs

Here is an opportunity for some club, or clubs, to do something worthwhile. The interior of the building needs some furnishings to make it complete; drapes at the windows, rugs for the floors, a pulpit and a few easy chairs. No doubt there are homes, which can spare some of these things, but the result should be taken into account and not get a hit and miss collection of things.

The furnishings need not be expensive, but the rugs and drapes should be a warm color that would soften the effect of the cement floor and give a more comfortable and homelike appearance to the chapel. There are times when a bereaved family would appreciate a place to step inside and wait for a short time, and on such occasions a few easy chairs would come in very handy, and with a few rugs to arrange in one corner of the room, with perhaps a table or stand, it could be made a very comfortable spot for a few minutes’ rest and relaxation at a most trying time.

We should like to see some ladies’ clubs take up this matter and see what is needed out there and arrange and plan to have it furnished as it should be. We will gladly take any of them to the cemetery to see what is needed, and will do what we can through the columns of the Bulletin to get what is required.
