THERE are many Abbeys in Britain, but of them all, one has become known throughout the civilised world simply as THE ABBEY. Westminster has this pre-eminence, partly because of the quality of its architecture, partly because it is a very large church actively ministering to the people in a very large city and partly because of its age-long connection with the government of England. It is a very solemn place. It is made so by the solemnity of successive Coronations and the solemn pomp of funeral monuments. BY CANON ADAM FOX, D.D.
