29 should have heen at once marked out for this high office. All orders, including a multitude of people, says Malmesbury, turned instinctively to him. * The people were active and urgent in his election. Aldhelm was himself present at the witena-gemot at which the choice was made ; and we may picture him, according to a pupil's description, ! as a tall man with white hair, and sparkling eyes, listening with earnestness to the decision when announced to him. He tried to decline the great office... : "I am too old, I need rest, " — hut instantly and by acclamation came the reply, " The older, the wiser. " He yielded to their decision with no unfeigned reluctance, and went at once to Canterbury for consecration. There he found his old master Hadrian still living, and occupying the post of Abbot of St. Peter's. He was consecrated by his friend and kinsman, Archbishop Brihtwald. Aldhelm held the see of Sherborne only for the short space of four Missionary years. His biographer dwells lo\'ingly on the earnestness and self-denial of Aldhelm.
