When spendingmoney racks thy, A-this wonderful place seems
sacred, but when the sweet, sol-
emn strains from the organ and
the lovely voices float upward
through the tall columns and
graceful arches, echoing over
again and again, it seems that
one has left this world far behind
and is listening to the angel choir
in heaven. The dim light com-
ing through the painted windows
seems to add solemnity to the
surroundings and one would
have to be made of stone to go
into here without feeling some
strange emotions. The music
seemed to sound in my ears for
days afterwards.
I have tried to tell something
of the service; now will begin on
the wonders and beauties of the
Abbey itself.
We entered at the door in the
North Transept and remained
until the service was over, then
finished the day going through
the most interesting place I ever
saw.
Before proceeding I had better
tell some of the history of the
Abbey as some are not familiar
with it. Sebert, the first Chris-
tian king of the East Saxons,
built a palace on the site where
the present church stands, it
being an island then. Tradition
has it that St. Peter himself was
sent for and came to consecrate
a church built by Sebert, who
tore the palace down in order to
erect it. This was destroyed by
the Danes and rebuilt by Edward
the Confessor in 1050, who made
it an Abbey and ordered that all
English sovereigns should be
crowned in it. This order has
been strictly observed. Edward
then presented to the treasury
a golden crown scepter and oth-
er insgina of State to be worn at
coronations, some of which were
worn by Queen Victoria nearly
800 years afterwards.
A good many kings and queens
are interred in the Abbey. It
has been called the “Pantheon of
der to bless their race.

We visited Westminister Ab-
bey on the same afternoon that
we did the House of Parliament,
it being only a few steps distant.
We just arrived in time to be
present at the service. I don’t
suppose there are many of my
friends who have seen an English
church service. To those who
haven’t, it is strange, and in a
place like Westminister Abbey
or St. Paul’s Cathedral very
beautiful.
The service is opened with a

was filled up, and the land re-
claimed for building purposes.
Edward’s church was partly
torn down by Henry III in the
13th century. The central part
only remains, where the corona-
tion takes place. He tore it down
to erect the present splendid ed
ifice, which is now visited daily
by people from all over the
world. It has been the growth
of centuries, different portions
being added in different reigns.
During the Civil War the
church fell into neglect and was
plundered, but Sir Christopher
Wren, the architect of St. Paul’s
Cathedral, was commissioned to
restore it—he added the two
great western towers.
The form of the Abbey is that
of a Latin cross, and the total
length, including Henry VII
chapel is 520 feet. Its breadth
at the transepts is 203 feet.
The choir extends beyond the
transepts to the middle of the
nave from which it is separated
by an iron screen. Before the
altar is an old pavement of mo-
saic, laid in 1260. The wood car-
ving of the choir is very fine.
The west window has figures of
Moses and Aaron and the patri-
archs. The great “rose” win-
dow has paintings of Christ and
the apostles. In the south tran-
sept is the “marigold” window.
We will now make the round
of the Abbey, beginning where
we entered at the north transept.
Here are the tombs of a number
of noted men, but it would be
impossible to mention all, as
there are so many departments
to go through and I only took
note of a few in each place, and
cannot remember near a1! I saw.
Among those I saw were the
graves of Warren Hastings, Lord
Palmerston, Mr. and Mrs. Glad-

choir boys march in and take
their seats in the magnificent
choir. The members of the
choir are boys and men of all
ages from six years up to seven-
ty. The smallest boy leads the
procession and the tallest man
brings up the rear. All of them
are clothed with long white robes.
As soon as they have taken their
seats a hymn is sung and then
the litany is gone through with,
then the sermon.
The music in this old place is
simply beyond human power to
describe. The organ is the finest
in the world and all the singers
are in constant training. No la-

but they are hidden near the or

Elegant line of Musical Instruments, such as.......
in it. Among them are Balfe
(1870), Arnold (1802), Purcell
(1695), Blow, Burney, and others.
Against the fine choir screen are
the large monuments of the Earl
of Stanhope by Kent and Sir
Isaac Newton by Rysbrack. The
organ was built by Schreider
and was altered and enlarged by
Hill. It is divided. A part of it
stands on each side of the choir
and the organist's seat is in the
middle. It has five manuals; one
of them is attached to the celes-
tial organ and is placed two hun-
dred feet away from the main
body of the organ, in the Poet’s
corner, over Handel’s grave; it
is played by electricity. The
organ was originally built under
Purcell’s own directions, and
though it has undergone all kinds
of repairs and has been increas-
ed, there has been no new one
put in since his day. A new
caryed oak case was recent’y ad-
ded as a memorial of Purcell in
connection with the celebration
of the two hundredth anniver
sary of his death.
The Nave is reached next.
There are some fine monuments
by master schulptors here. The
persons in whose memory they
were erected were not familiar to
me, so I only noticed the work in
this part. The sculptors were
Grinling Gibbons, Bird, Westima
cott and Rysbrach. Dr. Living
ston, Robert Stevenson, Sir
Chas. Barry, Sir G. G. Scott and
Lord Lawrence are buried in the
Nave.
The pulpit is constructed of
colored marble and is beautiful.
Also in the south aisle are fine
momuments by noted sculptors,
but with the exception of Major
Andre I do not know any of them.
In the south aisle of the choir
are the monuments of John and
Charles Wesley. The south
transept is the famous poets cor-
ner the best known part about
the Abbey.

the great literary people of the
