SPENDS SUNDAY
IN LONDON.
Ny first day in London was Sun
day March Q, and it surely was a
great day for this preacher-man.
In the morning I attended the
service I'm the St Paul's cathedral.
As we approached this great temple
OF worship j was reminded Of the
fact that not only the greatest
books but the greatest buildings are
dedicated 10 religion The greatest
building in Rome Is st. Peters; in
Constantinople. St Sophia's, and in
London. st. PauTs cathedral and
Westminster Abbey buildings con-
secrated to the worship OF Al
mighty God.
st. PauTs. the cathedral OF the
diocese OF the bishop of London. is
regarded as the most imposing
building I'm this great city 1t was
designed by Sir Christopher Wren,
the first stone being laid I'm 1875,
and the last in 171O. II is $40 feet
long and 225 feet wide. and was
erected at q cost Of nearly $500. 600
(s3,S13.2G0.)
i appreciated very much the OPP
portunity OF worshippiug i'm this
cathedral. The reading of the ritual
the prayers. and the singing by the
great choir consumed exactly one
hour. Then came the sermon by
the canon OF the cathedral on "Serv-
ice for Humanity 10 was a plain
practical sermon. Ira which the
preacher clearly showed that the re-
ligion OF today. 20 be worth while
must lay emphasis not only on char
acter. but upon the absolute neces-
sity OF living and dying for others

Prominent London Churches

This truth we have learned by the
sacrihcial service OF those who gave
themselves without stint during the
great war Modern religion must
learn the lesson OF the Christ. who
came not TO be served, but 10 serve.
PAYS VISIT TO
WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
In the afternoon we attended the
service at Westminster Abbey. Ever
since was a lad have read OF this
wonderful abbey. where for GEN.
turtles men and women have wOr-
shipped God and wherein rest the
bodies OF England's greatest men.
This magnificent structure was com
menced in 1245 and was not COM
pleted until the days OF Sir Christie
phcr Wren in the latter part OF the
18th century.
The service in the abbey in many
respects was a wonderful service.
The singing was majestic and in
spring. The whole service was
stately and dignihed; and yet there
was a heartfelt. a sympathetic note
running through il all. We joined
heartily in the congregational pray
ers and responses and were con-
scious Of the presence Of God.
The sermon by Canon W. TT. Car
negie was short but good. and time
~ on the subject of Charity APP
piled TO International Affairs" He
stated that there were many differ
ences of ideas between England and
10 n
and America, that other great
Anglo-Saxon nation; but he believed
that these could be settled at the
peace table. II every representative
there would practice the true spirit
OF charity as set forth in the 18th
chapter OF Corinthians I.
SEES WESLEYAN
CENTRAL HALL.
In the evening we attended the
service in Wesleyan Central hall.
This hall represents the most pre-
tentious thing being done by Meth
odism in London. Central hall is a
large building near Westminster,
erected by the Methodists Of the
city. on the first floor are a num-
Der Of fine business offices, while on
the second is a large church audi
forum seating over 5000. Rev.
Dinsdale T.. Young, who is regarded
as one OF the strong preachers of
the city, has been pastor Of Central
Hall church for a number of years.
On Sunday evening he preached a
splendid sermon on "Laxity in Be
liefs." being one of a series on Cur

Famous Women
Mrs. benjamin Franklin

This being the anniversary of
the birth of Benjamin Franklin, it
is interesting to recall the ro-
nance of his life. 1t was when
Franklin was a lad of seventeen,
Just arrived in Philadelphia, that
the future Mrs. Franklin first saw
him. He had two roofs of bread
under his arm, and his pockets
were stuffed with stockings a.4d
shirts, when he passed by the
house of Mr.. Read, his future faith
er-in-law. Miss Reed was vastly
amused at his ridiculous appear
ance. Later he obtained lodgings
at the Read home, and the young
couple soon fell in love. The faith
er at first objected, but he soon re-
Tented. Franklin then went to
London, where he renamed
einghteen months, writing but
once, and then only to tell his lady
love that she was not likely to see
his soon. Piqued at this ind fer
ence, she married another man,
who turned out "a thorough rascal.
and soon fed, under suspicion of
bigamy. 1t was not absolutely GER
tain that the marriage was not
valid, but when Franklin returned,
he "ventrued, however. over all
difficulties" as he wrote, land !
took her 10 wife"
