The Times of Wednesday contained the text of an appeal
which the Committee of the new Chapel of St. Michael and St. George are about to issue to members of the Order. The Chapter of St. Paul's having placed a chapel at their disposal last year, funds are required to equip the building, one of Sir Christopher Wren's finest pieces of work, in a manner worthy of the Order and the Cathedral. It is proposed to reserve special stalls for those Knights and members who may give large subscriptions. We think it a great pity that the mem- bers should be called upon to pay for a national duty, the adornment of the chapel of what is pre-eminently the Imperial Order. The Chapter of St. Paul's have done well in ap- propriating to it a noble chapel, and it is for the Government to see that the equipment is worthy of the architecture.
