Mr.. Benjamin Harding, chairman of

there is some doubt in the minds of
some persons as to the meaning of the

While the explanation of Mr.. Hard :
ing is no doubt well meant, it would
amount to little if a law suit between

meaning IA printed 'in the paper cir

just what it says until it is modified.

The Equipment oI II MedinvaI Church.
As for the vast numbers actually main.
tnned by the church the single example
of st. Paul's cathedral, of course the
largest foundation in the city, will furnish
an illustration, In the year l45O the socie-
ty, the cathedral body, included the fol
lowing: The bishop, the dean, the four
archdeacons, the treasurer, the precentor,
the chancellor, thirty great canons, twelve
lesser canons, about fifty chaplains or
chantry priests, and thirty vams.
OF inferior rank to these wtte the sacrist
and three vergers, the succentor, the mas
ter of the singing school, the master Of the
grammar school, the almoner and his four
vergers, the seryitors, the surveyor, the
twelve scribes, the book transcriber, the
bookbinder, the chamberlain, the rent col
lector, the baker, the brewer-the brewer.
who brewed in 1856 67,Sl4 gallons, must have
employed n good many; the baker, who
ovened every year 10000 loaves, or every
day more than hundred, large and
small, employed good many more; the
servants of all these officers, the singing
men and choir boys, of whom priests were
made, the bedesmen and poor folk, the
sections, grave dggers, gardeners, bell
ringers, makers and members of the eccle-
siastical robes, cleaners and sweepers, car
penters, masons, painters, carvcrs and
gilders-one can very well understand that
the Church of St. Pauls alone must have
found livelihood for thousands
The same equipment was necessary in
every other religious foundation. Not n
monastery but had its greater and lesser
officers and their servants. In every one
there were the bell ringers, the singing
men and boys the vergers, the gardeners,
the brewers, bakers, cooks, messengers
scribes, rent collectors, and all complete
as was St. Paul's, though on n smaller
scale. 1t does not seem too much to esti-
mate the ecclesiastical establishments of
London as including fourth part of the
whole population of the city.-Walter Be-
SAINT in Harpers.
