CHURCH BUILDING.

Church Building. A Study. Of the Prin-
ciples of Architecture in their Relation to
the Church. BY Ralph Adams Cram.
Boston: Small. Maynard & Company.
Surely, if there is any power in the world
today capable OF evoking a vital art, de-

A church is house of God, place of
H. earthly habitation, wrought in the
of heaven itself. From the day when God
gave to Solomon the plan and fashion of
the temple down to those wherein Euro
peans of the Middle Ages lavished their
scanty wealth and toiled with devout hands
to raise the awful fabrics of the mediae-
val cathedrals and abbeys, this thought
has lain as the corner stone of everyone

Of devout and reverend tunes. They were
building a house Of God, and tbe+freasure
and labor lavished so abundantly. were

art-the handmade of religion,-all the
treasures gathered from many lands, were

men ian and l. their E, solemn knowledge Of the

ship between this spirit and that which
prompts and governs the construction Of
If only in small measure, men would
understand more clearly the fatal error
of the modern principle, realize that no
tricks no limitations, no cheapnesses no
pretences of any kind, are tolerable in
a Christian church. and that the admis-
sion of those things in the temple of the
living God is blasphemy. Instead of the !
cheap and tawdry structures of shingles
and clapboards, Or fimsy brick and stone

first compare with the noble work of the
Middle Age, would at least take a place
with It in point of honor Instead of stand

meanness and our hypocrisy.
In this volume the author takes up the /
question Of church building from every
standpoint and he shows the application

The Appeal does not favor the race
conference proposed by Representative
Hatten of Wisconsin, The mere fact
that it is to meet in Atlanta, Georgia,
is enough to damn it in the minds of
fair-minded people, for Atlanta is a
city where free speech has never ex-
listed
And then there is no Negro
problem" except of the Caucasian's
making All that is necessary to set
tie the imaginary problem is to give
the equal protection of the law to the
Afro American and let him alone. Do
not legislate either for him or against
him.
With an equal chance in the race of
life if the Afro-American does not sue
coed it will be his own fault and he
will deserve to stay where he is.
AS a matter of fact the Afro meri-
can is not staying down; he is rising;
he is making progress by leaps and
bounds; he is growing in intelligence;
he is educating his children; he is ac-
quiring property and building homes;
he is entering the learned profession;
he is advancing along all lines.
Let the Afro-American alone!
