The Monticellonian., 1916-11-02

and the entire place became redolent of the past.
 After the service one of the wardens showed me the windows in detail. l asked after the famous east one, since I had known about it, and the warden said that he did not know where It was. This window, as 1 recOllect, was presented by Spain to King Henry VII and at later time it was removed from its place in the east of St. Mar garet's in the fear that the soldiers or Cromwell might destroy it. Now, ap- parently, it was gone again and Us place was taken by plain glass. On the former occasion of it's disappear ance it was said that it was hidden in the tower of the church. II do not know where it is" said the warden. "It was taken out in the fear that it might be destroyed in a Zeppelin attack We know that the chance was slight. but it was best to be safe."
 The warden then called my atten- ton to windows in which people of the United States had an interest. Among these is the large one in the west which bears the American flag. very small one. at the upper left hand side, with the British arms in the corresponding place on the other side. This was placed in the church, as is we'll known. wholly by people of the United States, and beside It is an other put in by George w. Childs of Philadelphia.
 The large church had been well filled for the morning service of prayer, and as the rain was falling heavily at the close many of the wor- shipers fingered longer than usual. l am not well up on the differences be tween the high and low church, but l am free to say that the service in St. Margaret's seemed very natural and sincere. The war has had its effect on many things, and it has given an atmosphere of reality to the prayers of the church which was not always present in the past. The words were read in normal human tone and under the circumstance it is no wonder.
 In and Around Hyde Park
 It was the afternoon and my friend the captain and l were standing at the Marble arch, just outside the entrances to Hyde Park. It was raining and we were waiting the arrival of another friend, looking eastward toward the city.
 Suddenly we heard the music of T band coming from the west, and turn ing in that direction l saw for the first time the army of the working men of London, more interesting to me than the most brilliant and inspiring mili- tary display.
 They filled the street from side to side, marching on With hundred im- mense banners and bands playing in l spite of the rain. falling now actually in torrents. They are used to the showers, these London people. and they cheered and shouted and marched into the park.
 l In the park the men gathered about various platforms in accordance with the usual custom and twenty or thirty addresses were given. The speaking was good in quality, too, the leaders being men of force if not of much edu- cation "While the navy has been bockading the Germans" said one of the speakers, "the mercantile marine has been biockading us"
 In the evening we walked down to Kingsway and down Kingsway to Aid wych and the Strand. London is very dark at night but the inconvenience is slight and there Is less crime, as the records show, than usual. I asked a police officer on the Strand why it was that under the circumstances of lenses were less numerous than before the war, and he replied that lot of
 young men who had formerly gone
 about bashing private citizens were
 now bashing the Germans.
