London. Sometimes it is possible for a Londoner, even in these days, to cacapo into a different world, the world that is neither anclent nor modern, but has existed through- out the centuries, and will endure through all changes. The metro- polls of that world is a typical English village-like St. Mary Bourne, which is that rural commer of Enginnd whore Hampshire. Wiltshire, and Berkshire meet.

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.

The tardy spring has seemed twice as lovely this year because of this relief of the beleaguered West. Silver bubbles of cooling, healing water glisten on the thirsty earth.

Twice a year, in spring and putumn, the Bishop Fock on these pilgrimages, accompanied by his chaplain and met on the boundary of each parish, by the vicar. This pilgrimage, which began on Tues- day morning and ends on Sunday evening, takes the Bishop through 72 of the most rural miles his diocese. Half a dozen times each day he holds a service, moatly in the open air, and lasting only a few minutes. He halts at a cross-
