Text Appearing Before Image: St. Gilbert of Sempringham. But it is neither the one nor the other. It represents a White Friar, i.e., a Carmehte, vested in his habit and bearing a crozier. It is distinctly the Carmelite habit, and not the Premonstratensian habit which St. Xorbert would wear, nor that of the Canons of Sempringham. St. Gilbert, too, would not carry a crozier. But what Carmelite saint can it be?One wouldnaturally sup-pose it to bemeant for thefamous English General of the Order, St. SimonStock. But the crozier is a difficulty.It is, therefore, probably St. Albert,Patriarch of Jerusalem and compilerof the Carmelite rule. He hadpreviously been Bishop of Vercelli inItaly. He was assassinated in 1214,and is honoured by his order onthe 8th of April. We give anillustration (ss. 27). Two other figures at Alphingtonare interesting, and we illustratethem also. One is the very quaintand unique picture representingSt. Dunstan seizing the devil bythe nose with a pair of tongs (ss.28 a, b), the other is St. Denis
