VENTILATION OF KNOX CHURCH.
TO THB EDITOE. \ Sir,—Permit me through your columns to draw attention to the fact that the ventilation of Knox Church is often by no means what is ; to be desired. The audience was an extra large one to-nighfc, and the condition of the air inside the church could not but do harm to those who were present. The air in this church is never 'J- what is to be desired, but was much worse tonight from the cause mentioned. One of the doors was opened during the service, but this, while affording a very small amount of relief to the general body of those present, is apt to be objected to. by those near the door. The air in the church could very easily be kept pure if all ' the gallery windows were opened at the top. Heated air—as many people seem to forget— rises while cold air falls, and therefore' the opening of the doors is not the remedy. IE the tops of the gallery windows, were all open no 1 one could get cold. I wearied to-night until the service was over, and I came away feeling in my lungs the ill effects of impure air.—l am, &c., Dunedin, November 5. A.
