Show Thkee hundred Raman Catholic pilgrims met at Canterbury, on tbe recent fea-t of the translation of St. Thomas a Backet, visiting the cathedral where their saint was murdered au I the shrine where bb bones rested for centuries'. They traveled not along the roads on which Chaucer's company jogged to tbe Tabard Inn, in the days of Becket, but by rail; and they held service, not at tbe altar where their saint met his death, but iu their own church, where they lamented that they had lost what their forefathers possessed. |
