Architects, building committees, trustees, and sextons, ought to have some one to remind them perpetually that fresh air is a vital necessity in churches. Better do without almost anything else. A living gospel ought never to be preached in a dead atmosphere. Give us plenty of pure air, and the preachers will preach better, the brethren will pray better, the people will sing better, and all our meetings will be better attended, and followed by better consequences. Give each one of us forty cubic inches of fresh air for every inspiration, and, for every minute of the service, the eighteen pints to which we are each justly entitled, according to the doctors, and we shall complain less of languor, headaches, poor preaching, and dull meetings, and be in less danger of backsliding; for we devoutly believe that fresh air is a means of grace.—Methodist.
