continues:
ALLOW me TO also say to you at this
moment that our people in the States
owe very much to our navy and to the
officers therein for the able and ef-
hcient manner I'm which they have at
all times maintained the national honor

abroad, and when such occasions have
occurred they have won and added new
laurels not only for themselves but for
the nation at large, and dedicated a new
page to our country's history.

Americans who are coming to Eng
land this year and intend visiting Can.
terbury will be disappointed to hear
that builders have just begun to sur.
round the central tower of the ia
nous cathedral with huge scaffold-
ing by which its beauties will be com.
pletely hidden for probably many
months to come. The temporary dis.
figurement is necessitated by the I'M
sound condition of this portion Of the
structure, which has made its restora-
tion imperative lest the tower should
share the fate of Venice's Campanile.
Historically known as the BELL
Harry" tower. this browning achieve
ment of Canterbury's architect is COM
monty regarded as the finest example
Of the perpendicular style of church
architecture in England, although the
name Of its designer has not been
handed down to posterity. Its con-
struction was begun in 1872. and It
replaced a former tower called the
angel Steeple." a name bestowed on
1t because OF the gllded cheruoim who
was perched on the pinnacle. 1t is 235
feet high and 35 feet in diameter, but
such is the dignity and stateliness Of
the design that 1t conveys the impress
sion Of much larger dimensions.
After Westminster abbey and st.
Paul's. Canterbury cathedral is the
most highly priced of England's
churches, both for its architectural
beauty and its historic associations.
1t originated, 1t is said, in church
formerly used by the Roman Chris
tians, and which st. Augustine conse-
Grated under the name of Christ's
church when he became archbishop Of
Canterbury in 597. Enlarged some
$50 years later by Archbishop Odo,
1t was totally destroyed by fire In
1861. Archbishop Lanfranc rebuilt It,
but the choir was again wholly
burned down In 1174, and to rebuild 1t
a number of French and English arti-
fcers were summoned. Among the
for.tGr was one William OF Sens. who
turned out to he man Of real genius.
ana to him the work was intrusted.
He died, however, in 1878. before the
work was finished. but worthy sue
cessor was found in another William,
this time an Englishman, and to him

DR.. Davidson was the bishop of

time he had been a bishop for II
years, first occupying the see of Roch-
ester. from which he was transferred
to Winchester In 1895. For many
years he has been a prominent figure
in ecclesiastical life in England, part
ly through the personal appreciation
of his capacity shown by Queen Vic
toria, who had him appointed dean Of
Windsor in 1888. DR.. Davidson's
views on the chief matters of contro-
versy in the English church are well
known. In the house of lords he has

copal statesmen, especially in regard
to social movements. and his zeal In
