THE HIGH CHURCH LIMIT.
Church of st. Mary the Vwgin Has
Reached 1t.

The first Of three mural paintings for the walls
CT the Protestant Episcopal Church of St Mary
the Virgin, at No. LAG West Forty-sixth-st, has
been placed on the side wall of the lady chapel.
II is entitled THE Epiphany" and was designed
and painted by Elliott Daingerfed- 1t repre-
sents the alteration OF the child Jesus by Joseph,
Anna and the Magt- The Child. who is in the
act of bestowing a benediction sits in the lap of
the Virgin Mother.
The prominence given in Protestant church
to the figure of the Virgin Mary in the picture
will doubtless be criticised by many, but, then,
the painting is the wall Of the Protestant
Episcopal church which is recognized as one of
the chief in this country in the support Of the
high Church idea
The services of the Church Of St Mary the Vir-
gin are noted for their extreme elaboration mu-
sically and for their similarity to those of the
Roman Catholic Church The Church of St
Mary the Virgin has. for instance, several con-
fessionals and on the walls the stations of the
Cross which sees in every Roman Cathohc
church which has sufficient funds TO buy them
Suspended from the ceiling before the altar also
are vessels OF ever burning incense In the
altar is q tabernacle for the reservation of the
sacrament after it has been consecrated for use
in communicating" the sick
The church has not gone so far as the Roman
Catholic Church in its teaching about the COM
taught that the bread and the wine actually be-
come the body and the blood of the Christ. AT
the Church of St Mary the Virgin the teaching
regarding the sacrament is that the body or
Jesus is present effectively. but in form not
perceptible TO the senses.
In the confessionals the clergy of st Mary the
Virgin listen to confessions of sin from penltent
members of the congregation and grant absoIu-
ton for sin and infiict penance; but confession
Is not obligatory. in the Roman Cathohc
Church
Connected with the Church of ST Mary the
Virgin is a branch of the Order of the Holy Ma
tivity. ssterhood whose members have taken
the vow of celibacy for life
Music plays an important part in the service
There are two chOirs, one a supplied male choir
occupying seats in the chancel and the other a
mixed choir stationed in the gallery at the
rear. The communion service, or mass. as 1t Is
called. is sung, the clergy wearing special
eucharistic vestments through 1T At the high

meals had to pay fabulous prices. such as fifty
cents for two eggs, etc. One woman paid $1l
for miserable supper and canvas cot foi

town make much money from the pilgrims but

all comfortably housed in old edifce
called the House of the Pilgrims.
On the second day were held the solemn re-
ligious services near the chapel. The huge con-
course of people followed the bishop and priests
to where an altar had been erected and hung
with purple drapery. Near by chair

other side of the altar appeared the pulpit from
which the multitude was later addressed. To
the accompaniment of ringing bells the pro-

Then followed sermons by the bishop and the
''curas,' songs, recitations prayers. etc. all
with the utmost sOlemnity. After the service
ended, the pentents poured into the church
in steady stream to pay homage to the image
of 'Nuestra Sonora" The statue is not work

bedecked. On the head is crown of solid gold

mass the CONGREGATION does not receive the sac
rament At all the other communion services
it does AS in the Roman Catholic Church, the
sacrament is elevated. Through high mass as
in the similar service in the Roman Catholic
Church candles and a gong are used. but the
service is entirely in English, and there are no
additions to the phraseology of the service con-
tanned in the prayer book of the Protestant
Episcopal Church
According to those who support the ritualistic
or High Church movement the services and
practices which objected to so strenuously
by the Low Church party are simply a restora-
ton of the ritual of the Church as it was at the
time Of the Reformation Nothing illegal Is
done. At the time when the Roman Catholic
Church was disestablished in England only GER

against The chief of these were the divine
thority of the Pope and Mariolatry, or the wor-
ship OF the Virgin Mary. In the Roman Cath
Ole Church the communicates could receive only
the bread in the communion. This was changed
so that they could receive what are technically
called both kinds-that is, the bread and the
wine. A number of the forms and practices in
the Roman Church were continued. however.
When the Puritan element became so strong
that anything that recalled the Roman Church
was regarded abhorrent, the services and
practices were greatly modified. The High

When asked the other day If 1t was possible
to go any further in the elaboration of the ritual
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the direc-
ton taken by the High Church party, the Rev.
G.. M. Christian. rector of the Church of St
Mary the Virgin, replied categorically: THE
limit has been reached. The Protestant Epis

In Elliott Daingerfeld's painting the intent is
not TO illustrate the historic incident of the visit

rather to present it from the theological point
of view as the manifestation of Christ to the
Gentiles
The Gospel of St Matthew is made the basis
for the setting of the painting. Matthew makes
no mention of the stable" but definitely uses
the word house." the exact phraseology being
