OF talk on foreign travel given by Rev. j.
Edward Wright IN the Church of the Mes
siah last Sundly evening Those who were
privileged to listen to it must have been
convinced that on the Sunday referred to,
the last Sunday in April of last year, the
reverend gentleman put in as systematic
hard days work in listening AZ he is accus-
toned to do at home in preaching Mr..
Wright referred to the fact that Sunday is
kept in London in such strict manner as
to surprise dwellers on the continent, and
even residents of the larger American cities
In that city every Sunday 1,400 different
Congregations 800 of which belong to the
Church of England gather for religious
worship, and throughout that vast city, with
its four and a half millions of population,
the day is kept with almost Puritan strict

Wright heard Canon Farrar in the morning
at st, Margaret's church, Father Ignatius
at Westminster Town Hall in the after

and speaking at Hyde Park, and in the
evening heard Leslie Stephens at Essex Hall,

them, gave his hearers a more vivid idea of
some things that may be seen and heard in
London on Sunday than most Of them had
ever had before
