two men. Time will fail me to speak
Of other men who have been honored
by Westminster Abbey and who have
honored the Abbey.
I enjoyed my visit to Windsor very
much. This Is one Of the homes Of the
king or queen, and was Victoria's ia
vorite- palace. It is about twenty miles
from London and in a beautiful place,
where nature and man have done
much to make the place attractive.
There are two very interesting chapels
here, st. Georges and the Albert Me-
mortal. We were shown through the
state apartments Of the castle. They
are beautiful, gorgeous, and magnih-
cent. The large carpet in the Waterloo
chamber Is in one piece and weighs
seven tons. The jewels, pictures,
statues, ETC., in these apartments are
very interesting. From the Tower, I
saw where Queen Victoria was buried
at Frogmore and saw the beautiful
lands belonging to the castle. With
these beautiful grounds and the
Thames river flowing by. the whole
premises makes a deep and pleasant
impression on the mind. The present
king, Edward VII, lives most Of the
time at Buckingham Palace in this
city. This is an imposing looking
place; but visitors are not allowed to
go on the inside. saw the soldiers
drilling in the yard.
The London Tor'er is place Of
thrilling interest, blu. time will not
permit me to expatiate. I was fortu-
nate In being able to get into the
House Of Commons this afternoon.
Very few are permitted to go in-in
fact it will not hold very many. Our
American ambassador can admit only
two persons day. called at the Of
fees Of our ambassy last week and
Mr.. Choate's clerks told me that
could 60 in today. So called this
morning and got card which admit
ted me. The House was considering
the great educational bill which is
living question in Great Britain today.
I did not get into the House Of Lords,
as all the permits which our ambassy
was entitled to for the time I am here
had been given out. These permits are
given weeks ahead sometimes.
There are signs Of poverty among
many Of the people here and beggars
are frequently seen, though this side
Of the city Is not as bad as expected
to see. It is likely, however, that
have not touched the poverty-stricken
districts Of the city. There are many
agencies and institutions established
for the uplifting Of the people and l
think the race is being bettered In
many ways. especially from worldly
point of view.
attended church last Sunday morn
ing at the City Temple and heard the
minister in charge, r. J. Campbell,
preach. He gave us fine sermon ana
there was a very large congregation
present. met Mr.. Campbell after the
service in one Of the rooms connected
with the church, and when told him
that Mrs. Byers (nee Miss Mccartney.
Of York Co. 8. c., had written to me
and asked me to hear him and meet
him as she was a relative Of his, ne
told me that his mother was IN the
church. So I met his mother and his
father too. The latter Is a minister In
one of the branches Of the Methodist
church. Mr.. Campbell has attracted
much attention in the world OF late on
his own account as q remarkable
preacher and as the successor OF Dr.
Joseph Parker. went to church at
night to the Regent Square Presbyte-
rian church and heard a splendid ser
mon from the pastor, DIR. Conneii.
The singing in the churches over mere
Is very fine. AS rule, the choirs are
large, and the congregation sings.
Everybody has hymn book and
great many Of them use them. The
choir at the City Temple In the morn
ing had about fifty people In 1t. The
choir that led much Of the music OF
the Council in Liverpool was composed
of about 200 people, and such sing
ing! 1t was grand and uplifting.
do wish we could have such singing
in our churches at home.
received a bundle Of ENouIRERs
from Mrs. Neville the other day, which
I enjoyed very much.
The people over here are very much
interested in our presidential election.
They think the Democrats have made
a wise selection in Judge Parker as
their standard
