134 A Walk from 



Abbey may attract more American travellers to their 

 shrines, I am sure many of them, with due perception 

 of moral worth, will visit Babraham, and hold it in 

 reverent estimation as the home of one of the world's 

 best worthies, who left on it a biograph which shall 

 have a place among the human-life-scapes which the 

 Saviour of mankind shall hang up in the inner temple 

 of His Father's glory, as the most precious tokens and 

 trophies of the earth, on which he shared the tearful 

 experiences of humanity, and bore back to His throne 

 all the touching memories of its weaknesses, griefs, and 

 sorrows. 



A movement is now on foot to erect a suitable monu- 

 ment to his memory. It may indicate the public estima- 

 tion in which his life and labors are held that, already, 

 about 10,000 have been subscribed towards this testi- 

 monial to his worth. The monument, doubtless, will 

 be placed in the great Agricultural Hall, which he did 

 so much to found. Thus his name will wear down to 

 coming generations the crystal roofage of that magni- 

 ficent edifice as a fitting crown of honor.
