At this time, the seniors of the choir rushed in from the red carpet in the middle of the seats, they were wearing wide white robes, a calf in black stockings was exposed under the flower-shaped robe, black leather shoes were uniformly worn on the feet, the high organ collar held up the youthful faces, the black and yellow ribbons were draped on their chests, and the gold pendant hanging low at the bottom was like a medal full of glory.

"Wow, they're so beautiful. I want to go up and sing too! Wen Jin exclaimed in a low voice.

The choir members walked behind the three layers of carved wooden guardrails that stretched out in a figure-eight shape on both sides of the altar, stood in three rows, and placed the music in their arms on the music stand that jutted out in a zigzag shape above the guardrail. A short distance from the music stand is a small lamp made in the shape of a candlestick, with a high gold base, a long white candle stem, and a wax tail bulb covered with a red velvet lampshade with gold trim, just to gather the light on the score.

The music of the organ sounded, and the beautiful singing resounded in the church, and they sang "Merciful Jesus", and the song was soothing and melodious, and it reverberated in the chapel.

In the past, when she attended church services in China, the pastor would often lead them to sing hymns during Sunday School Bible study classes. "Merciful Jesus" was one of the most sung songs in the church, but she felt that the singing she heard in the school chapel today was the best she had ever heard.

This heavenly singing often haunted Wen Jin's mind in the days that followed.

In the melodious music and ethereal singing, Chenchen silently observed this magnificent chapel, which was three or four stories high, and felt so small in this high space.

The freshmen sat quietly in the front two rows of seats facing the aisle, while the back rows were empty. The interior of the church is beautifully carved in wood, and the crimson walnut color is matched with the intricately carved flowing curves, adding a warmth and ironing to the solemn and sacred atmosphere.

Above the wooden wall is the fresco area, and against the holy pale blue background, there are huge and exquisite frescoes with Old Testament themes, with a strong Renaissance style, vividly presenting stories from the Bible.

Looking up, it is an octagonal spire supported by milky white marble flying buttresses, and between each two pilasters is stacked upwards, and the glass with copper wire is fired by a special process, and the color is particularly magnificent, with rich red and serene blue as the main colors. Chenchen knows that in legends, red symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ, while blue symbolizes the peaceful and beautiful kingdom of heaven. The beams of light that came through the windows on the ceiling, with a hazy shade of gold, shrouded the chapel with a sense of fantasy.

In the center of the top of the chapel, in the center of the spire of several flying buttresses, is a gilded dove that symbolizes the Holy Spirit and wisdom, and the sunlight from the stained stained glass envelopes the dove's body in a holy and soft halo, making people dare not gaze. Under that halo, the pigeon seemed to be given life and was ready to fly.

The sound of organ music floated in the air, and on the altar, the school's priest, Isaac, was chanting: "...... Holy Lord, we will never forget to be good because of all the happiness in this life...... Be selfless in friendships, be concerned about those who are not as happy as we are, and be willing to bear the burdens of others. Amen. On both sides of the altar, the school indoor choir sang hymns in an ethereal voice and with an organ.

After two or three hymns, Pastor Isaac said, "Welcome to School A. In keeping with our school tradition, it is a great honour for you to have your specific seat in the chapel of School A from today onwards as new students in Year 8 and 9. This seat does not change over the course of the year, and as the grade progresses, the seat is moved to a higher row each year until graduation...... At A you will find an inclusive religious and philosophical perspective. Our goal is to help students from different traditions find their spiritual strength, and we support projects in a variety of religious and spiritual fields...... We see education as an intellectual and spiritual endeavor. All expressions of faith are worthy of respect, and we seek a common moral, ethical and spiritual home......"

With a suppressed and excited exclamation, William, the president of the student council, walked to the center of the altar. The corners of his mouth were raised, and with a confident smile, he stretched out his arm to the classmates sitting under the altar, and there was no sound below.

William addressed the new students on behalf of all the students, and as soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and his voice was beautiful and infectious. He talked about the fact that the United States is a free and equal society, talked about the glorious tradition of School A over the past 200 years, and the many famous alumni who have gone out from here, and as a representative of an elite youth group like School A, he expressed his determination and hope to contribute to the world and change the world in the future. Afterwards, he told the new students: "Our motto is: 'Dare to be true'. The school's Hornor Code is: Free with responsibility. ”

After William's eyes were finished, the pastor stepped up to the pulpit again and said, "Finally, according to our tradition, every freshman writes a letter to his future self, and this letter will only be received on the eve of their graduation. New students must drop their written letters in a dedicated mailbox in the rotunda before dinner. ”
