BISHOP w. A. GUERKY, OF 9. c.,
Marched Into Westminster Abbey at
Head Of Y. NJ. G. A. Workers.
tCharleston News and Courier. }

tCharleBton News and Courier.)
1t will be matter of interes, to
many of the News and Courier read
ers to know that a letter from Bishop
Guerry, bearing date September 10,
has been received, IN which he speaks
OF his experiences in London soon
after his arrival in England. On the
Sunday previous to writing (Septem-
bep 16) 5 at the head Of 3201SY, Nc.
work. Kefs} heG mar rcned sinto ssgasta
minister Abbey and took seats for the
party within the ropes He was
seated by Canon Carnegie, who is
also the rector Of st. Margaret par
ish-the parish church OF Parlia-
ment. The service, he said, was
most beautiful and reverent, and the
chanting proved a revelation. Dur
ing the general thanksgiving a few
sentences were interpellated of spe-
cial thanksgiving for the safe voyage
vouchsafed to the bishops party.
After the grace the Long Meter
Doxology was sung, and the bishop
says: 4 am sure old Westminster
has seldom heard such a volume Of
sound as those men gave forth when
they lifted their voices in thanksgiv-
ing to God. Then we sang God Save
the King and then, to my great sur
prise and delight, the organist played
The Star-Spangled Banner
The canon said afterward that It
was the first time, so far as he knew,
and so did the verger, that the Amer
icen national anthem had ever been
rendered In the Minister. Just think
OF it!-and that should have been
the humble instrument of bringing
about such an international compli-
ment. The men with me were more
gratified by that than by anything
else that occurred"
After the service Canon Carnegie
showed them through St. Margaret's
and invited the bishop to preach for
him the Sunday following. Alto
gether the day proved to be one Of
the most wonderful the bishop had
ever spent. Probably- long before
this he has gone over to France, but
at the time he wrote his passport had
not been ,vised, and he and his COM
panions were waiting in London.
The bishop met Rev. Kirkman G.
Finley, the rector of Trinity, Colum-
bia, while in London, who is in the
7. Nj. G. A. work overseas.
