In little chapels, lost in the pro- digious sweep of the prairie, the congregations are singing, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." They have in mind but one blessing, the life-giving streams of rain. They are freed from the terror of the dust, the Masque of the Red Death.
The tardy spring has seemed twice na lovely this year because of this relief of the beleaguered West. Silver bubbles of cooling, healing water glisten on the thirsty earth. There are parts of Colo- rado where they have not seen

Bishop On Pilgrimage
VISITING FLOCK
RURAL ENGLAND
IN
London.
Sometimes it is possible, for a Londoner, even in these days, to escape into a different world, the world that is neither ancient nor modern, but has existed through- out the centuries, and will enduro through all changes. The metro- polls of that world is a typical English villoge-like St. Mary Bourne, which is that rural corner of England where Hampshire. Wiltshire, and Berkshire moot.
It has some beautiful thatched cottages and some ugly brick ones, and, rightly, the most beautiful, largest, and most central building in the village is the church, with its square Norman tower from whose summit the flag of St. George streams in the wind.
To that church there strade a igure in a long purple cassock, carrying in his hand a staff that was like n plain shepherd's crook. It was the Bishop of Winchester, going the rounds of the rural denn- ery of Whitchurch, in his diocese, and doing it in the old, simple wayr on foot.
Twice a year. in spring and cutumn, the Bishop goes on these pilgrimages, accompanied by his chaplain and met on the boundary
