Vacation time has so far had little
effect upon the pulpits of Richmond.
Yesterday several notable sermons

TO give the following brief extracts:

the far distant Sepulcher Of Our LORD.
The kings council went, the chancellor,
the mayor Of the city, wearing the
great gold chain of his Office around his
neck, and handful of soldiers-a
simple pilgrimage and the more Affect
ing. There were no streaming banners,
no magnificent vestments. The arch
bishop accompanied them, and a flag
bearer.
They went on foot to the railway
station through lines Of kneeling peo-
pie, the boy still rapt, and looking
straight ahead, the chancellor SEEM

to the crowds. As he went on, his face
relaxed. It was as If the miracle had
already happened. Not the miracle
for which the boy would pray, but q
greater one. Surely these kneeling
people, gazing with moist and kindly
eyes at the crown prince, could not,
at the hot words Of demagogues, turn
into the mob he feared. But 1t had
happened before. The people who had,
one moment, adored the Dauphin Of
Trance on his balcony at Versailles,
had lived to scream for his life.
The countess, standing on her bal
cony and staring down into the valley,
beheld the pilgrimage and had thus
her first knowledge Of it. She was
incredulous at first, and stood gazing,
gripping the stone railing with tense
hands. She watched, horror stricken.
