BELLES OF ST. MARY’S
March 7,1958
SMS Students Need To Be More Beckoning Belles Tlie Belles
Respectful And Reverent In Chapel
We, some St. Mary’s girls,- who have just returned from our 11:00
Holy Communion Service on this Sunday March 2, feel so strongly
about what occurred during the service that we feel obligated to write
this article. We hope that it will be printed in the editorial column of
the next issue of the BELLES for the good of St. Mary’s.
We have been led to believe and still do believe that life at St Mary’s
is centered around our chapel and worship of God. However, during
this morning’s service many people around us were talking, whispering,
and worshiping desrespectfully and irreverently. This occurred not only
in the congregation but in the choir which even caused some of the
communicants at the rail of God’s altar and sanctuary to be disturbed
during their worship. It is also disturbing that some of those participating
in this general irreverence were leaders of the school whom we had
otherwise respected.
It is also a shame that in having compulsory church attendance, the
respectable worship of the majority should be disturbed by the sacrilege
and disrespect of a few. It would seem that those who are not interested
in worshipping could at least remain quiet out of respect and thought
fulness for their friends who are sincerely trying to worship their
Creator in their own chapel.
This same problem occurs in our weekday chapel service. It is
almost impossible to worship and pray amidst the noise and chattering
of the many students. Our chaplain asked that the prayer and hymn
books be placed quietly in the racks after use. And yet this suggestion
has been to some degree still unheeded. The giving of points is a
ridiculous answer to these problems, for it is only a superficial sup
pression of a problem and does not penetrate into the heart of a matter.
We sincerely hope that everyone will read this article and give it
serious thought for it is written by students like you and for the benefit
of everyone.
It is only with the solving of this problem that the sanctity of our
chapel as the house of God and as the center of life at St. Mary’s can
be restored) and with it the true spirit of St. Mary s Junior College.
