GEORGE FOR ITS PATRON, Sn England Has Stood For the Op- pressed "Since the Institution of This Order in the Year 1220. The Order of the Garter has St | George for its especial patron, and { from its institution in 1220 that land has stood for the yppressed and for. the banner of the cross.- Under the sigan she has conquered. Her royal traditions, and those of the Saint centre most .of all in St. George's chapel, at Windsor. Within and without it is one of the most graceful buildings in England, and full of interest Perhaps in no one spot in the United Kingdom is so much architectural beauty and historic interest. Here in the Unswick Chapel is tht fam: ous monument to the Princess Char- lotte, daughter of George IV. owing i much of its effect to the golden glow {of the not less famous window on the | west. Here, too, is the beautiful Beau- { fort or Lady Chapel, memorable in the { history of the martyrs of St. George. In the north aisle are the tombs of Hastings and Richard HI. Close to the altar was recently discovered the tomb pf Edward IV. and his wife Elizabeth Woodville. In the last aisle back of the altar is the burial 'place of Sir Jeffrey Wyattville, , who "made Windsor Castle what we now see it. In Lincoln Chapel is a black masble staff marking the burial place of Henry VII. (Holy King Henry), whose rival lies in the north aisle. Near by is the grave of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, who married the sister of Henry VIIL But the magnificent choir is the very heart and centré of all that is beautiful and interesting in the building. In the centre is the slab marking the burial place of Henry VIII, Jane Seymour, Charles I. and an infant daughter of Queen Anne. Over the altar is a splen- did window to the memory of the Prince Cdnsort, * and stained windows, with the arms of many of the Knights of the Garter, run along the north and | south sides. Over the north side of the altar, above the tomb of Edward IV. is the Royal Closet, in which the Queen sits when she attends service. Of many an impressive ceremony this choir has been the scene, from that April day so many centuries ago when Edward IIL and his knights ©f the newly founded Gorter marched in state to hear the mass in the chapel erected by the King in honor of St. George, down to the wonderfully impressive and beautiful ceremony, 'it 3863 when the Prince of Wales 'was married to the Princess Alexandra of Denmark. No more fitting frame could be foiind for a pageant of State than this chapel of the Order of the Garter. From the altar steps, looking to the west, the scene is mmgnificent. Above is the elaborate- ly traced roof, built by two freemasons, John Hylmer and William Vertue: be- low are the richly-carved stalls of the knights, in all the strength of color of darkest old vak. Over every stall is the banner of a knight, about four feet square, giving in fall heraldic colors, the knight's armorial bearings. There is always a vacant stall kept for him whom the soverei may suddenly choose to honor. low zach banner are the owner's helmet and crest, and at the back of the panel beneath the Gothic arch ar. the metal plates, some of brass, some on copper, giving the armorial bearings of the past and present pecupants of the stall. The older phates ar¢ small and of irregular shapes. The modern plates are larger and all of pne size. In many cases but little room is left for more. . The true origin of this order. the highest in the land, and of the real hero who became the patron saint not only of the Crusaders but of Mohammedans as well, and whose cross is still emblazon ed on the national flag, is veiled in tra- dition. - We have the story of beautiful Joan of Salisbury, of the fallen garter, the tittering courtiers and the gallant King. Bat, alas, history does not bear put the story of the ballroom scene, and, indeed, the oath of the knights and their devotion to the order give a flat contradiction to anything so _puerile, Probably the stoty of Coeur de Lion, and the leathern strap is more nearly approaching the true origin of the Or- der of the Garter, Bi-Centenary. Two hundred years ago, a boy was born at the rectory at Epworth, Eng- land, for whose existence thousands of people haxe been profoundly thankful. That boy was Charles Wesley, author of hymns that have become part of the wor- ship of all denominations. His bi-cen ternary, recently celebrated, is of interest m--| {ar wider than the Wesleyan denomina- tion, in the formation of which Charles rendered yeoman service to his brother, John Wesley. Humanity is in deep debt to the sweet singer. His was the poet's He found inspiration every- ere, alike by the roadside and at the le of the Lord. He invented a system shorthand with which he could jot down his verses ih a moment. Those upon prayer and communion often came to him as in a flash. The world will never know how many people have been gested and spurred by the most famous ll" Jesus, of my soul" Its origif was a beautiful one. Charles Wesley was seated at his desk before an open window: A frightened bird flew into the quiet room, and took refuge. Charles went to the window, and saw without a great hawk, baffled. which did not dare to follow the bird in at the window. Then came the appealing thousht of the hymna which he put into words. § Eloquent Plea.

The greatest loss possible to religion was the loss of spiritual wonder. It was an old saying that philosophy be- gan in wonder. The Christian religion began in wonder. It was wonder at the extraordinary sight the angels saw which stirred the Theaw ost sing, "Glory to God in the highest, and on carth peace, goodwill toward men" It was with wonder that Mary "kept all these things in her heart and pon- dered over them." [It was in wonder that the disciples followed Choist to Jerusalem. Even the careless crowd that came to see the crucifixion were awed in some way. When St. Pay] was at last converted it was wonder that thrilled him to cry out, "0 the unscarch- able depths of the riches that are in Christ Jesus!" The whole of heaven was filled with wonder. And rdigion lost its wonder when it lost its power. Have we lost our spiritnal wonder? And if so, how are we to get it back? The five great elemental facts af the Christian faith, Thy incarnation, The Atonement, The Truth of the Holy Trinity, The Holy Commumion, and Prayer, afford vivid pictures of wonder, yet witness the dull way in which Chris- tians receive them. he means which must be used to get back our spiritnal wonder were--more time spent in pray- er, meditation, study, the cleansing of the moral eye of the life, and persever- ance. To the lack of real religious study amongst church men and women, much unbelief was due. We want a stronger intellectual church. ---- Gift Of Kings.

The New Testament escaped destruction in the fire at Ashburnham House in 1731, of which it bears evidence . on crumpled leaves and ruined margins. There is some eyidence that the son of Edward the Elder, Athelstan the Glori- ous, king of the West Saxons from 925 to 940, owned this bible and pre- sented it to the Church of St. Mary-in- the-Castle at Dover. : The peculiar expression, that. it takes nine tailors #6 make a gman, had this beginning: Iu 1742 an orphan applted to a fashionable 'London tailor for alms.
