The noble structure verily breathed the calm and peace which those who are weary and heavy-laden are invited to seek therein.Filled to overflowing, it seemed charged with the very spirit of the devotion which animated the huge assembly.For the nave was QUEBEC\u2019S ROYAL VISITOR\u2014The latest portrait of H.R.H.the Prince of Wales, who is now crossing the Atlantic on H.M.S.Indomitable en route to Quebec.Admiral of the Royal Navy.(Photo (copyright) by Langfier, Ltd., London.) * THE APPROACHING NAVAL SPECTACLE AT QUEBEC\u2014The gun-room officers of a British cruiser, showing the material from which British commanders and admirals are made.Atlantic en route to Quebec, served a long apprenticeship in the Royal Navy.This portrait was specially taken a few weeks ago for reproduction in Canada, and shows His Royal Highness in the uniform of an The Prince of Wales, who is now on the (Photo by F.E.Cox, Ottawa.) crowded, the aisles were crowded; within the choir privileged worshippers found shelter in the magnificently carved arches; whilst behind the ornamental grill encircling the immense dome, and towering in the balcony high over the west door, almost beyond the range of vision, others crowded to gain a glimpse of the impressive picture.\u201cLong before the hour of noon, when the service was timed to take place, every seat had been taken, every corner had been filled, and as one looked at the serene faces of those who had succeeded in gaining an entry to the Cathedral one contrasted their calm demeanor with the noise and press of the multitude without who besieged every door clamoring for admission.\u201cThe beautiful tones of the organ swelling and falling alternately in magnificent waves of sound were suddenly hushed as in the distance the opening words of the litany were heard as a faint echo from afar, for as the deep-throated bells of the cath- cdral chimed the hour of noon, the im- poring procession of archbishops and bishops was met by the choir and clergy at the west door, whence they walked in stately array up the centre of the Cathedral to their allotted places in the choir.Surely that procession had never been equalled, even at the most notable ceremonies held within the walls of the sacred edifice.The verger and cross-bearer, followed by the minor canons and the choir, came first, then the prebendaries, and then the Dean of Westminster.The secretaries of the congress, the bishops of mander of the vessel, is sitting in the second row, third from the right;
