Maundy Thursday

Nobody's feet were washed m Westr mißßter Abbey on April 4'h, although it was Maundy Thursday, and poor' o!d persons of both goxfs received the] Boyal Maand In that church. Nowa days everybr dy m this country is sup posed to wahh hig own feet, even on Maundy Thuradwy. But it wsb not miwsys so. Many English monnrchs have don«* that service for poor ppoplp, because, aa the collect used at thp wr vice remindfd the coogrpfjation, Christ afc the Last Supper washed th % font of His Aprstles. Charles II and J»ro^e II were the latest English Sovereigns wbo followed the Divine example m this partioukr. It was nuppospd to teaoh them humility, but they were not apt pnoil?. PoHsibly their failurf to learo influenced Willisra .IV,-who left the feet wasbinsf co hi-* Hi&h Almoner. Evpd this official was tp'Hewd »jf the duty at laat. Ifc is cus-* torn ary to present the Royal alma to twico as many old persons bb the faohaich hws ycurs, half of the reci pipnts bping meu aud' the rest women. King John, bring of a frag&l mind, bhope to reckon by the camber of years he had reigned j bttfc King fidward VII, has adopted a contrary plan, laatead of measuring by his own age, he measured by his mother's, m order that- all the Ptsrvivors of those who received Queen Victoria's hist Muandy thus migbfc be among the first recipients of bip. There fore, more than 160 old men and women gathered from many parts of London were presented with Mttmdy 'pennies' m (he Abbey. It is customary to speak or these gifts as pennies, and one news paper told its readers that the Boyal alms Amounted to about five shilling®. The fact is that .eaoh old man gets £4 15s, and each okl woman £4 ss, m addition to the so-called silver pennies, some of which are twopenny, ihreppenny, and foarpeniiy pieces. Another thing which the King had ordered m mrmory of his mother was that these small coins which are always specially minted shoald bear her image, and be m other respects the same as those issued m her reign. Altogether it will be seen that the sum distributed yesterday was over £700. Ther« was a vast congregation, all the ■pace In tha choir and transepts being occupied, chiefly by ticket-holders, the north traasept- enly bdng free. The distribution of alms wts nob the sole item In the ceremony. It had a setting of prayer and praise, the latter rendered men more effectually than nfliial, for the choir had been reinforced. At one o'clock Sir F Bridge, seated ab the organ, began playing a voluntary, whereupon an imposing procession marched In from the nave. It) included not only the choristers »nd elerjry, bub fche Yeoman of the Raard (one of whom bore a dish containing tfta aims), the Lord High Almoner (Bishop of E'y), the SubAfmoner (Rev DrSheppard) fche Dean, the children of the "Boya! Almonry, and a number of wardsmen. (Sroing Into fche sacmriam. the Lord High Almoner and the Sttb~Aln&on6r stationed themselves &b the Comtntmlon table, while the a'ms were placed on a tempor ary table at the fooo of the steps leading to the saerariam. When about a third of the eervica ha 3 been said and eung the first distribution took phc3. Ife used to be a retribution of clothing!, bat, as taming a "eharch into a warehonse is Inconvenient, money has be«i nabstimtpd. Ace rdingly there was £1 15^ for each of the poor w< men, and £2 5-a for every or c of the men, a sinstnlar division seeing that f> minine garments are more costly than maseuiitH J Pdrhaps, however, fche reverse was th« case when the amounts were first fixed. Thank' havina ofTsrart to God for the ble-a ---inKB of Q ieen Victorias i x m»l« ai d reign, and an anthem having betn sonjj. the Beeund distribution was nv*de. R. d and white parses were handed oat eaoh of ihe former containing £1 aa part of tre maundy money, and fil 10.) instead of food fo m<rygi/en.
