Extract

At first sight it would seem somewhat profitless to select as the subject of a paper a building not one stone of which can ordinarily be seen, but the great Benedictine church of St. Peter, Westminster, stands so high in the affection of the English-speaking races that even the smallest contribution to its story may be assured beforehand of a welcome. Moreover, there is a certain appropriateness in the fact that by an undesigned coincidence that contribution should be offered on March 21st, the feast of St. Benedict himself.
