had the Rectory of Adisham cum Staple collated upon him by my Lord Grace of Canterbury Juxon."
   In the year A.D. 1588 there were in Adisham 116 communicants, i.e., adults, above the age for confirmation, who were capable of receiving the Holy Communion; at the present time, A.D. 1881, the actual communicants number 168.
   Perhaps I may conclude this short paper in the following words of a great preacher—words of practical import to archaeologists. Speaking of just such noble churches as this which I have been describing he says: "We have not lost all while we have the buildings of

our forefathers. Happy they who when they enter within their holy limits enter in heart into the court of heaven! and most unhappy who while they have eyes to admire, admire them only for their beauty's sake and the skill they exhibit; who regard them as works of art only not fruits of grace, bow down before their material forms, instead of worshipping in spirit and in truth; count their stones and measure their spaces, but discern in them no tokens of the invisible, no canons of truth, no lessons of wisdom to guide them forward in the way heavenward."
