THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.  

"The Hall of our thousand years.”—Kipling.  

The ancient Hall of Westminster  

was chosen by the representatives of  

the Mother of Parliaments as the most  

appropriate place to officially receive  

the Prime Ministers of the self-govern-  

ing nations and states in the family of  

the Empire. That noble hall, so purely  

British in architecture and tradition,  

has been the scene of many notable  

events. For centuries past its majes-  

tic traceried canopy has echoed and re-  

echoed the patriotic oratvo of Bri-  

tannia’s gifted chieftains. There, and  

in the Commons and Lords, just along  

the corridor, were cradled the liberties  

which we enjoy, were founded our  

world-wide Empire, Britannia the Mis-  

tress of the Main.  

Many of those who in the past con-  

tributed their moiety to the building  

up of our Imperial inheritance lie en-  

tombed within the weather-beaten  

walls of Westminster Abbey, that  

venerable pile of majestic masonry  

which casts its shadow, as the sun de-  

scends to twilight, over “the Hall of  

our thousand yearsthat grand  

mausoleum of our race, symbol  

to Britannia’s greatness, with its  

architectural grandeur, noble, inspir-  

ing sanctuary —wherein seems to arise  

“the infinite azure of the past”—  

veritable poem in stone, with an at-  

mospheric coldness by no means un-  

pleasant—a magnificent calm, dim  

religious light, sweet fascinating re-  

pose—a sublime memorial to, and the  

hallowed repository of, Britain’s nob-  

lest and mightiest chieftains.  

That old Abbey is the resting place  

of many of the Kings and Queens of  

the race. Queen Elizabeth lies there,  

and so does Scotland’s Queen, Mary  

Queen of Scots. Then there are the  

altar tombs of Pitt, Fox, Chatham,  

Canning, Wilberforce, whose voices re-  

sounded in “the Hall of our thousand  

years;” of Telford, Watt, Stephenson,  

and other great engineers and inven-  

tors. Enjoying the peace “which  

knoweth no understanding,” grouped in  

corner by themselves, are the remains  

of the ’ illustrious songsters —the bug-  

lers of the Empire—mighty spirits,  

ever moving, despite the Little Eng-  

landers and the Little Australians that  

knit together the race —Chaucer, Dry-  

den, Milton, Gray, Shakespeare, Gold-  

smith, Addison, and Ben Johnson, and  

amongst them all is the bust of Long-  

fellow. Bede Dailey, the Australian,  

is immortalised there, and place has  

been assigned for bust of the Imperial  

Seddon. The Prime Ministers of  

Canada, Australia, and the self-govern-  

ing States of South Africa were not  

only inspired by an eventful period,  

but by historical surroundings which  

no other Empire or nation can show.  

In such an atmosphere, in such an en-  

vironment, parish-pump patriotism  

must vanish and the patriotism for  

Empire and race become passion.  

As Grace Ellery Channing, an Ame-  

rican, observed: —
