To the Itacheon group Undersecre- ber of the Caumdxal Clnpw following message: “Twenty-five years ago was laid the corner stone of tne Cathedral Church of America, the church foreseen by George Washington He had no picture in Lis mind of the superb building now taking form on Mount St. Alban, but he also had no dream of the future greatness of the country which he helped to found. In the straggling village which for long ars was the embryo City of Wast ington 'a Targer edition of the Bohick Church would have been suitable. It would have been more important than were the first civil buildings, as be- fitted the place of religion in American life. It would be totally inappropriate today in the great. beautiful city that is built and building. If Christianity Temains the guiding star of American life, as we believe it does, there must be In Washington today a svmbol of the faith, towering above the city, Tightfully dominating. but beautiful be: yond all other symbols. * * “There must be no faltering in _the work of the Cathedral It should b> able to defy hard times. because it should draw iis maintenance and its power to grow from the whole United States. There 15 no spe the Cathedral influence may not reach: there is no right thinking man or woman in America who mav not ‘It is my church as well as you Cathedral Church of America m come the ctuary of all the pcople.” At 4 o'clock a speci held in the great_choir of the Cathe- dral, and Bishop Freeman will address the congregation on “The Cathedral in the Hour of BISHOP ADDRESSES DIOCESAN DELEGATES Devotion to All Church Activities, Is Stressed by Right Rev.

BY THE RIGIT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, LL.D., Bishon of Washin I3 O not attempt to l\urry the building of Washington Cathedral. It takes cen- turies to build a cathedral.” In some such words as these my friends from time to time gently admonish me. They cite the bullding of some of the old cathedrals in Eng- land or on the continent and remind me that in one period a choir was built, in another, a transept, and so on through centuries of time until the whole great structure was completed. My colleagues of the chapter and I have exnibited no desire to exercise un- due haste in the building of the Cathe- dral in the Capital of the Nation. On the other hand, we have felt with deep- ening conviction the urgent need of giving adequete expression to that faith that we believe is indispen-able to our security and pcace. We have been liv- ing in a period wholly different from any that has gone before, a per:od | marked by unprecedented growth, ma- terial and physical. The witnesses to our spiritual growth are not commen- surate with our development along other lines Twenty-five years ago today, under | the guidance of that great spiritual | leader, Bishop Satterlee, the foundation | stone of the structure was laid. Bishop Satterlee had labored to the point of exhausting his vitality in an effort to secure what now seems a comparatively | small sum, for the purchase of the| original piece of prope-ty, comprising some 13'; acres. Untiringly he had | gone froni city to c 1 d it was on returning from one of , cxhausied and worn, that yielded t Lean Years Arrive. Then came Bichop Herding, high- minded, devoted, decply spiritual, but the years of his administration were “lean years.” Part of his episcopate was spent during the period of the | World War. As opportunity afforded, | he pled for funds, but they did not com in large amounts, saving infrequently; the largest gift of his administration was that of Mrs. Archibald Russell, of $500.000, given to build the first unit, or apse of the Cathedral. In the crypt | constructed during the episcopate of | Bishop Harding, the beautiful memorial to Bishop Satterlee, the Bethlehem | Chapel, was built. In subsequent years tne concrete foundations of the entire structure were laid and a considerable sum secured for endowment purposes In the early Spring of 1923, while rector of the Church of the Epiphany. upon request of Bishop Har and as a mcmber of the chapter, 1 gladly as- sumed the responsibility of h\mg plans for a more extensive and persistent ef- fort In behal of the Cathedral project. During those memorable days of inti- mate confact with the Bishop, I little thought that the responsibility I was ring was to shortly deprive me of the counsel and wisdom of the Diocesan. Bishop Hard.ng went to his great re- ward April 30. 1923. Now, for some nine years, with a group of devoted and untirirg asscci- 1 ates, we have pressed the claims of this | great temple, and with thankful hearts | we acknowledge that results have besn | achieved altogether worthy of so great an_undertaking. 1 pause here to pay a tribute of grati- tude and affection to Dean Bratenahl for the extraordinary gifts and deep consecration he has’ exhibited during this entire period as the chairman of the Building Committee. His rare knowledge of ecclesiastical art and ar- chitecture, together with his unfailing attention to the minutest details relat- | ing to construction, have given him a place of deserved and lasting distinc- tion. A Norm of Service Maintained. ‘Throughout these 25 years, Canon William L. DeVries has given meticu- lous care as precentor to the ordering | of the services of the Cathedral. With a wide knowledge of liturgical refine- ments and with the cordial approval of the late Bishop Harding, a ncrm or standard of service has been maintained that for reverence, dignity and adher- ence to the best Anglician tradition is worthy of high praise. It is our deter- mination to maintain these high stand- ards and thus to render the Cathedral worship worthy of its high purpose. It is also to be noted that many of our outstanding leaders in the large concerns of government have been con- spicuous in pressing the claims of this monumental work. Nothing has so challenged their zeal or stimulated their endeavors as this effort to build a wit- BISHOP JAMES E. FREEMAN. ness to Christ in the Capital of the Na- tion. With far-seeing wisdom they have aided me in presenting to the people of our country the urgent need of thi: great Christian enterprise. We have felt that | nothing was more indispensable to the | stabilizing and strengthening of our life, nothing more essential to the maintenance of our highest ideals than the lifting up before men of this ma- jectic witness to the faith thet is fun- demental to our peace and security. If for this r-ason alone, we ere justified in procecding without It or hindrance with the prosccution of fo momentous en under'aking. Notling stays us when | we have the mind to build our material febric as the witness to our growth and prosverity achington challenges the admiration of men everywhere for what | it expresses of beauty afd grace in its noble architecture and esthetic charm. We have not been slow to affirm to the world our growing power and our in- | creasing wealth. The 25 years that | have passed since the foundation stone | was lald have made evident the far-| seeing vision, faith and wisdom of those | who undertook to build here this glow- ing and glorious house of God. Beau- tiful as is its architecture, noble as is its position on its uplifted hill, there is an eloquence and prevailing strength in what it stands for that is irresistible in appeal and influence. It would be difficult to measure the contribution it has already made in ferms of spiritual | enrichment to the life of our people. | We are able to m-asure our material | erowth by standards that are rr)mmon to our daily practice. It is difficult to | register in like manner our spiritual growth and development. What influ- ence proceeds from this partiallv com- plated fabric to the hundreds of thou- sands who visit it yearly we may not venture to say, but certainly its per- suasive and comnelline power is felt over wide sreas of our life and touches | with an indescribable potency both our thought and action. | Recent Tragic Happenings. Nothing so strikingly illustrates the need of prosecuting without delay this work as the recent tragic happenings | in the world in which we live. Our rolden treasure house has been shat- tered. our values that we thought secure have suddenly suffered impairment, our conceitrd ingenuity has failed us in the hour of our graatest need and the folly of our course has been made clear to us. It has be~n a further demonstration of the unwisdom of building our house uvon shifting sands rather than upon the enduring rock. Before us lies the task of rehabilitating our shattered household Upon what foundation shall we build it? With what sense of se- curity shall we guarantee to ourselves, our children and children’s children those things that promote happiness, vrosperity and peace? Tt will be of lit- | tle worth that we restore confidence | and the uninterrupted practices of in- dustrv and commerce unless we sustain and buttress them by the enduring val- | ues of character. | As we stand at this momentous period in our history to mark the twenty-ffth anniversary of this work for God and country. we reaffirm our determination | te “carry on” in soite of all hindrances. To paraphrase the words of Martin Luther, “Here we stand, we can do no | other.” There ccme times in the life of great causes when they cannot | be governed by precedent or tradition. The world is at the crossroads; it is entering ' upon a new stage. It is compelled to | freshly affirm its faith in God and in Christian institutions or go the way of t who believe that human inge- oo oo oo ok ok ok ok Kk kL ok Rk R kR R R R R R Rk kR kX | f These Prices Prevail {n Washington and Suburbs i | | | price. ok ok ok kR R ko Kk * ok ok ok R R K ok K K K K K Kk K X kX : T ‘ | ALSO owm AND OPERATING Late Produce News FANCY CALIFORNIA Tokay Grapes at a new low price 3:19 It’s been a long time since you bought fancy Tokay Grapes at such a low price.

Our Nation was not so conceived, and despite all our short- comings, we have tenaciously adhered to our Christian institutions and our Christian ideals. Thess are being put to a severe test today. In no place other than in the Capital is it so urgent that these jdeals should be made con- spicuously evident. The ‘Government is projecting. vast improvements in the way of bulldings that contemplate an expenditure of several hundred millions of dollars. These for the housing of Federal institutions. The propriety of this great venture is unchallenged. Along with this stupendous develop- ment our whole national fabric is grow- ing in such rrnpm’lhnx that it fairly staggers the imagination. It is perti- nent to ask, what are we doing to give stability and security to these great and worthy enterprises? Wisely did one of the leaders of the Republic observe: “The Washington hedral and what it stands for is of vical importance to the Government.” Former President Coolidge afiirmed that “the strength of the Nation is the strength of iis re- ligious convictions.” At the end of 25 years, we witness here on Mount St. ‘Alban a growth and development worthy of the task w2 have in hand. This development has come through persistent effort and unfailing devotion to a great cause. The two National Cathedral Schools, the noble College of Preachers, the first unit of the library and the several other lesser buildings, together with the struc- turally completed choir and ranctuary end north transcript of the hedral, are eloquent witnesses to what we hope and expect this great and comprehen- sive Christian enterprise is to be. Thanking God for all this growth, we contend that a new situation confronts us, a situation that is best expressed in the language of Holy Writ: “The King's business requires haste. The urgent claims of the Cathedral have never been 5o juctified as in this pres- | ent critical hour. Victor Hugo closed | his graphic account of the Battle of Waterloo, declaring: “Waterloo is not a battle, it is a change in the front of { the universe.” We are in process of America is to play its conspicuous part in this great | undertaking. May we not believe that the Cathedral, rising in all its majesty on Mount St. Alban, is to furnish in- spiration and impulse to this great task? Sl NEW YORKER MADE HEAD OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES Msgr.
