ana the enIlfe place became reQOleuG
of the past.
After the service one of the wardens
showed me the windows in detail. I
asked after the famous east one. since
/ had known about it, and the warden
said that he did not know where 1t
was. This window. as 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 OF
Cromwell might destroy it. Now, aD-
parently, 1t was gone again and Its
place was taken by plain glass. On
the former occasion of its disappear
ance it was said that it was hidden
in the tower of the church.

fear that it might be destroyed in
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 well 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 weh
filled for the morning service OF
prayer, and as the rain was falling
heavily at the close many of the wor-
shippers fingered longer than usual.
am not we'll up on the differences be-
tween the high and low church. but
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
circumstance
In and Around Hyde Park.
1t was the afternoon and my friend
the captain and were standing at the
Marble arch, just outside the entrances
to Hyde Park. 1t was raining and we
were waiting the arrival of another
friend, looking eastward toward the
city.
Suddenly we heard the music of
band coming from the west, and turn
ing in that direction I saw for the first
time the army of the working men of
London, more interesting to me than
the most brilliant and inspiring mill
tary display.
They filled the street from side to
side, marching on with hundred i'm
mense banners and bands playing In
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.
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
blockading the Germans" said one of
the speakers, ''the mercantile marine
has been blOckading 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
police officer on the Strand why it
was that under the circumstances Of
fenses 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.
