Westminster Abbey.
In 1811 1 heard service in the Abbey
bet it was so orowded that 1 could not
see the preacher, a Dr. Wordsworth, nor
the °hole, though both could be homed
quite dietinetly. I had to etanil all the
time the crowd being so great and 1 bed
to move out with it so that Was all I saw
of the Abbey. Tho day after being at
Sydenham I want to see the Parliament
buildings but the gnarl at the gate said
that even 8 member's order would not be
attended b but on Satin -dew any ono
Nvould be admitted so I waited till then,
Tho Abbey being quite convenient on the
opposite side of the street it was not
much of a disappointment. The Abbey,
though a beautiful Wilding, is not so
imposing as SI. Paul's. 1 did not pay
muoh attention to the outside but it

extreme length of the building meet bo
over 500 feet of which the chapel may
take 100. The breadth varies but at
ite widest will be over 300 feet. The
morning server° had closed a little while
before I entered but a few had stayed
and were looking quietly around them,
their interest seeming to centre in the
Poet's Corner and Henry VII. Chapel.

the building who are not buried iu 11 but

me. Among thorn one finds those of
Chaucer, Spenser, rare Ben Jenson,
Shakespeare, Milton and meet ot Eng.
land's great poetteof Ireland's Goldsmith ;
of Scotland's Thomson and Macpherson.
Among them also are found others not
poets, noticeable is that of Granville
Sharp, the friend of the slave, who about
exhausted his fortune defending the negro
Somerset but established the fact that a
slave when he breathes iu England le

same aide of the building at a corner is a,
bust of Longfellow new and white inue•
pared with those I have mentioned.
Following round the chapel is reaobed
what seems a misnomer as it is nearly
all taken up will monuments of various
patterns many of them in memory of
royal personages. The most conspicuous
is that of Henry himself and his Queen
Elizeleth, the work, ie is said, of an
Italian. Those who have read this
season's Ladies' Home journal will have
seen an interesting account by Miss
Bradley, daughter of Canon Bradley,
who I beard in St. Paul's, of the Queens
of England who are buried in the Abbey.
It was not bard to find that of Elizabeth
and her sister Mary and in close prox-
imity that of Mary Queen of Soots if

than that of the two sister queens all par-

of Margaret of Itiohmond, tho mother of
Henry Tudor, all of them works ot art
and beauty. The most of the kings and
queens of England from the time of the
8rd Henry down to George III. wore
buried in different puts of the
Abbey. Among the most beautiful
tombs with recumbent statues are
those of Eleanor, Queen of Edward I.
and that of Henry V. Not very far

f Peels, in a wrier on the Sunday &hoot
in relatiou to the ohurch, developed the
thought that the Sunday School was an
integral part of the °hurt& and should bo
eondneted on cherub lines with Et view to
building up the church. Rev. J. G.
Gemett, of Niagara in the next paper,
desoribed the Sunday wiled as the adopt.
ed daughter of the Miura, and urged
that it should not be deemed a substitute
for the <thumb or home inileence. Rev.
A. Dewclney dwelt on the reeponeibiliby
of omit; in connection with supporting
the sobool. These papers were disouesed
by the Rev. W. J. Indult, of London;
Mr. Burns, oE Buffalo ; Mr. Golden, of
Kingsville ; and by the bishop of Huron.
The latter deplored the matinees of the
Iluaterial support given to church wheels
and missions. Ito thought that this was
partly Demounted for by the fact many of
the laity had been accustomed to a eye -
tom of State support in England and
were untrained in giving what was news.

divine serviue was wiffinotee and the bis-
hop preached from the text in Romans

out the neoesaity for increased work for
Christ and the church. Holy oomantnion

showed a considerable increase in the
umbel: of licensed lay.leaclere and other
lay helpers through the diocese. This
wee followed by an inspiriting address

The prooeedings reamed Wednesday
at 2:30 p. re. by Dr. Hopkins, chairman
of the Layman's League of Western New
York, who, in the absence of Dr. Devid.
son, Q. C., of Montreal, gave an address
on the prominent features of lay work in
his diocese. His instruoting address
evoked an interesting discussion, partici-
pated in by Rev. J. IL Piloorebouse,
Ingersoll ,• Ed. Marshall Seaforth ;
EL Donald, of Brantford and others.
Rev. Canon Riehardison, of London,
then gave an excellent address Du "The
Church and Her Young People," in
whioh he eloquently pressed the claims
of the Christian Endeavor movement
upon the Anglican Church, The largest
Christian Endeavor Society in London
is conneeted with the canon's church.
In the discussion which followed Rev.
W. J. Taylor, of St. Mary's, spoke of the
great good resulting frotn the work of
the circles of King's Daughters in his
Parisb.
Priuutpal Dymond, of Brantford, read
an able paper on "The ley repeesentative,
his duties and how to perform them or
nob preform thetn." He showed
that the time and method of their eleo•
tion were intended to secure the election
of well.qualified men. The introduetion
of men having a municipal or business
training would be telt as a patine and
beneficial influence in synodical work.
He deplored the foot that many parishes
were never represented, especially the
rural ones, and that the laity generally
took so little inteeest in the work of the
obureit courts. Ho urged the clergy to
preach their congregations into select -
ting their best available man.
In the owning Jasper Golden, of
Kingsville, spoke ou "the Model Teach.
et," employing blackboard illustrations.
He set forth diarist as the model towbar
for the imitation of His followers.
Miss Brown, of Brauttord, followed
with a few telling remarks on the same
subject claiming that method did not
mint for so =oh as the spirit in which
the teacher worked. Her humorous
and forcible address was muoh open,
dated.
The deice event of the evening was ou
impressive address from Hon. S. XL
Blake on "The Bible Teacher," itt which
he spoke of his equipment, his duties,
his difficulties and his rewards. Ile
urged tho eloser etudy of the Bible itself,
and stated the essential qualifications of
the Sunday school teacher to be a con-
verted heart and a thorough mastery of
the Bible. His duties weee to instruct
and to inspire to native Christian work,
Hie difeoulties, the apathy of parolito
and the inoontistent lieu of nominal
Ohristittne, were dwelt eon, while the
Sunday wheel works,: was amount*

Halifax, N. 1,, wanted it jirus rligine
and 18 Mediae were pet it; by makers in
England, United States and Camila but
nil backed out except .The Ronald"
when the City Council decided that the
1111.011age would be witted after practioel
testis on ellleieney, ettpauity and merit in
Halifax, Below is what the various Hal!.
fax papers said as the Meta wore going
on from dry to day :—
Halifax Herald, Out. 15, '02.—The
steam Ilre engine Ronald was given a
thorough teat on the Queen's wharf yew
terday, meeting with great success. Th
steamer has undoubtedly proved a good
oue. She threw two streams through it
tbogsand foot of how—five hundred feet
in such length—with muoh force, creat-
ing a wee favorable impression. Yester-
tay afternoon the firewarderia brought
out No. 4 steamer, aoknowledged the
beet ongiue iii the oity. A perpendicular
test was ordered and again the Ronald
proved itself a grand 'wahine. The
stream from No. 4 engine did net get
within On feet of her. The Ronald
worked with all the evenness of a good
time -piece and won fever on MI dries.
Mr. Howell, of the Arm of W. W. }Jowell
Co., was asked by a reporter what ha
thought of the Ronald. He gave it art
his opieion that she was a good one, in-
timeeing that she had many exeellent
points and that her exhibition was most
creditable. Alderman Poster expressed
much satisfaction as to the way the
steamer worked. The horizontal test
Mao showed the Ronald's supremaey over
No. 4 steamer. The latter, however,
proved itself a good one, but the Ronald
wont one better. The test was witnessed
by a large number and was moat inter-
esting. Ia the tank or capaoity tut the
Ronald made 841 gallons (Itnperial meas.
000) to the minute. No. 4 did not
oonapete.
Halifax Chronicle, Oat..1.3.—The test
of the Ronald steam fire engine was not
finished at the dry clock yesterday after-
noon. As far as the test went the en-
gine worked very satisfactorily. It per-
mission can be obtained the teat will be
finished ou the Queen's wharf ou Friday
morning.
Halifax Herald, Oct. 13.—Much in-
terest was taken in the test of the Ronald
fire engine yesterday. She threw a
stream of water 20 feet above the chim-
ney of the sugar refinery—a distance of
200 feet, against an adverse wind, a feat
that surprised the 'spectators. The Ron-
ald is certainly a tirstolase machine,
and her magnifioent performance yester-
day probably explains why ewe of the
other muoh vaunted engines dared foe°
the music of the test.
A.oadie, Recorder, Oot. 14. --The Ra-
i irder hasn't taken much ate& in all the
newspaper oorrespondenoe and talk
about buying a new steam fire engine, for
the reason that it knew that the papers
didn't know anything about it, and as for
the committees of investigation, they
appeared to be too divided in opinion to
afford amateurs anything to base an idea
on. The Ronald engine was being test-
ed this forenoon at the Queen's wharf;
she threw two streams through 500 feet
of hose, and was not probably doing her
best. No. 4 steamer was brougbt to the
ground bhia afternoon. A oorrespon-
dela writes :—"Aa the first and prinoi-
pal test which determined the purchase
of the Ronald engine (should she be pur-
chased by the City) took place on Oot.
14th (Oolumbion Day,) together with the
fact that this is Columbian year, /1 would
be a fitting and graceful act to call the
new steamer either "Columbia" No. 5,
"Columbus" No, 6, or some other appro..
petite wens commemorative of the year;
and this is respectfully suggested to the
Board of Firewards."
Halifax Evening Mail, Oot. 14.—The
test of the steam fire engine Ronald was
continued on the Queen's wharf to -day.
The stammer threw two sbreame throngb
a thousand feet of hose -500 /set in snob
length. The steamer is muoh steadier
than any other in Halifax. This 'after.
noon the fire wardens decided to,bring
oub No, 4 steamer with the view of seeing
which could throw the strongest stream.
The idee, is to put stream against stream
within twelve feet from the nozzles, the
one forcing the other to the side to be
adjudged the strongest, The manager
of the Ronald says he will put the engine
to any test that is necessavy.
Halifax Chronicle, Oot. 15.—The final
test of the Ronald steam fire engine took
plane on the Queen's wharf yesterday,
Sho started to work at 11 a. in. and kept
at it steadily till after 6 p. m, She got
80 pomade of stearn up in something lees
than five minutes and had a strewn of
water on in about seven minutes. S110
also pumped over 000 gallons from a
tank in about one minute and eight
seconds. No. 4, the Amoskeag renew,
was pitted against the Ronald in the
aftereoon, and, although the Arnoskeag
engiue did splendid work, she could not
down the Ronald, as the latter threw
jest as good a serum of water and just
as high. During the test James Aide,
the engineer of No. 4 steamer, was struck
in the chest with a stream of waiter and
knooketi overboard, bat be was easily
rescued and none the worse for his dnok-
ing.
At the end of the tests the Vire Com-
missioners wore so well pleased that the
engineers were "dined and wined" in
aeknowledgement of the fine work
