prlnclpal divisions, Episcopal, Presby-

the church OF Christ in those Islands

by grace, we md the explanation OF
the enterprise, the conquests, the colon
ization, the mercantile success and the
missionary zeal of that marvellous peo-
pie. In the last thirteen centuries they
nave not only Christianized their own

therefore, that pilgrimages more noble
than those described by Chaucer in his
Canterbury Tales" have led many pill
grlmages to Canterbury whose cathed-
raj Is the metropolitan church and
whose archbishop is primate of all Eng
rand to unite in celebrating the thir-
teen hundredth anniversary of preach
ing the gospel in that place. In addi

by Henry VIII. called the kings

OF missionary clergy of the church of

st. Augustine's Abbey.
The pilgrims who during this past
week Travelled to Canterbury did not
travel as Augustine or as Chaucer's
pilgrims, but on swift trains speeding
through smiling country of flowery
fields, cherry orchards and green vine
yards of hops, and through gray vii
lagos where the memory of ancient pill
grimages is preserved In such names
as ave Lane, Potermoster Road, and
