The bishop of W.iotning. a former
rector of the Church of the IIolv Apos

tween the church edifices nnd the
buildings erected for commercial pur
poses "The present war," he said, "is not
the only record of the indictment which
leligious indifference brings against our

so utterly discredited. The relatne
shabbiness of our churches and the

of our Immediate civilization have been

"I haic frcqtientl heard Mr. Thomas
refer lo the fact that Phillips ltrooks
nnd Dr. Appleton were the founders of
the parish of tho IIolv Apostles. Of
course, ou know and I know that
there wit's but one earthly founder of
the old purlBh: one founder of each of
its chapels, nnd that founder was
George C. Thomas. Moreover, the one
earthl.i force which nintlo possible the

the three buildings of the Church of

force residing in the amazing great
