Remote and very august he looms behind the altar in the gloom, and the flickering gleam of the candles reveals from instant to instant the loveliness of his smile, dreamy through the drifting vapours of incense. Meanwhile a slow psalm rises and floats up Digitized by Google A JAPANESE TEMPLE SERVICE 123 into the dark invisibility of the roof. The priests sing in chorus. Then arises from his throne an aged archbishop in scarlet and cloth-of-gold that sweeps behind him in splendour. He is mitred ...and in full pontificals. Before and behind him go his attendant prelates, bearing the emblems. Acolytes follow his tottering march from throne to lectern. There, in pale tones, tremulous with age, he reads out the appointed scripture. The misty softness of a muffled gong sounds dimly. Then, over his head, break the crashing glories of an anthem, as he sinks upon his knees. A bishop, standing, from his place intones a litany of long, tragic music, and, at its end, a second scarlet-and-gold archbishop descends the throne upon which he has sat immobile, and, to the high music of another chant, sweeps round to the lectern, vacated now by his predecessor, and there, holding before him the sacred whisk, lifts up his voice to the multi- tude.
