TALKING WITH THE DEAD. BISHOP OF LONDON'S WARNING. Of all the Memorial Services which have been held in London, during the war few perhaps have excelled in simple dig nity that which was conducted in Hyde Park on July 27th, by the Bishop of London. It had been arranged by the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers (Metro- politan Divisional Council).

Under the canopy of heaven, the oldest temple on earth, a vast congregation of war widows and dependents, ex-Service med, and the general public gathered to pay tribute to those who had fallen in the great war. They were augmented by a great procession of ex-Service men who haa marched from the Embankment, with bannery flying and to the music of many, bands, conspicuous among which was that of the Irish Cards. Accompanying them were a boys' Naval Brigade and a number of Roy Scurts. The band of the Federation Hendquarters, The Broken Heroes Band," every member of which is partially disabled through the war, sup- plied the music in the Park.

The Bishop of Loudon (Dr. A F Winnington-Ingram was accompanied on the platform by Prebendary Curile, of the Church Army, and Commissioner Napp, of the Salvation Army, who re- cited some of the prayers, by the Mayor of Chelsea, who read the Lesson, and by the Maybry of Paddington and Kensing ton, Dr. Swinstead, Mr. B. Baldwin, Chief Marshal, Mr. McArthur, Chief)

The Steward, and Mr. A. W. Leonard. service began with the hymn, O God, our help in ages past." After the read ing of the Lesson, the memorial of the dead, a white "pylon surmounted by a wreath and decked with purple ribbonsi was brought on the platform, and the Bishop of London-commanding the com gregation to stand, recited the following: Let us rehamber with thanksgiving, and with all honour-before God and men, the affas, non-commissioned officers, and nen who have been enrolled in his. Majesty's Forces who have died giving their lives in the service of their co- "try.""

THE MOTHER'S VISION,

In the course of his address, delivered from a drumhead, the Bishop of London. said that they were nasembled in memory of 100,000-dead suldiers and 57,000 dead sailors. He was out with his regimest at Beachy Head on the Sunday before war was declared, and when it was ordered back for the defence of London his terror was that when it came to the point we might not be true to the glorious tradi tions of our tace. If we had stood, aside we should have been disgraced before heaven and earth. In spite of the awful cost, every true patriot was glad that we had planged to the help of the weak against the strong. He would say to the bereaved that the honour of God was pledged that they should-see their loved ones gai. "Were the dead far from them. No He knew the case of a boy of nineteen who was killed by falling 13,000 feet from a shattered aeroplane. Shortly afterwards his mother saw his fort, wondrously bright, come up to her, and he felt his arms around her, and his Tips here. And then in a voice of indescribable tenderness the boy said, No munny, I am not allowed to come back to you on earth again," and vanish-

N SPIRITUALISM.

Our Iaith, continued the prescher, did not depend on these visions, but they en- forced what we were promised. The hus band, brother, or son why exactly the *ame five minute, after death as he was before. Have nothing to do, said the Bishop of London, with this attempted: communication with the dead. Fle be- lieved such attempts were leading many away. He believed himself that it was 3 sin to seek to know what one could not know. Let great scientists, let Sir Oliver Lodge and Dr. Conan Doyle, do what they liked, but do not let the ordinary tourn er spend his hours in trying to get into eommunication with the dead. Trust God, and God as revealed in Jesus Christ, and he would have a rock to stand on that would make him sure his dear ones were his for every

At the conclusion of the address the Bishop of London pronounced the Bene- diction. The Last Post and the Reveille were sounded, and the service unded with the singing of the National Anthém.

ORIGIN OF CAP AND GOWN.

The custom of wearing caps and gowns at universities bas its origin in mediaeval cercanoay.

The old cathedral school of Europe which were established in the seventh cen tury were the "precursors of those early universities founded in the 12th century to meet the increased demand for instruc tion in the higher branches of know- ledge.

In the early days of the University of Paris the chancellor of the cathedral on the Ile de la Cite issued the licenses to teach, and when the student entered upon the performance of his duties as a daly licensed teacher, his emancipation from the bachelorhood was symbolized by placi ing on his head a cap or hiretta," which ceremony was performed by his former instructor. The present day' custom of giving a hood when an hononary degree is conferred, id, therefore, but an out- growth of this medineval ceremony. was but natural that the early univer sities abould preserve as their academic dress an adaptation of the monk's robe with its cowl or hood. Such were at first a mark of profound learning and were worn by doctors of divinity and grad

stea, but, later, undergraduates were entitled to wear then...

It

At Oxford and Cambridge, where the order of things doth not change with each succeeding generation, the same type of gowns have been worn since the beginning of the seventh century.
