custom with the denomination. did NOT
decorate, relying in the strength of doc.
trlne and vigor Of faith rather than the
csthetics Of religion, while holding The
@rGat gtt as deGp tp humanity as any
other profession. wy
st. Peters Episcopal Church was deco
rated more deliberately perhaps than on
any 1ormer occasion. Over the vcs,ry ana
ch0lr doers were the words EnaIual"
