the old walls remain. and care has been

national since the Adams memorial, that
great piece of sculpture by the late AU-

The first bishop Of any communion to
set foot on American soil was Bishop
Seabury, OF the Episcopal Church. Dr.
Seabury was instructed by the clergy OF
Connecticut to proceed TO England for
conservation, with the proviso that in
case he failed TO induce the English arch
bishops to consecrate him. he should go
TO Scotland, as her bishops, not having
taken the oath Of allegiance to the Brit
ish Crown, would have no political reason
for refusing him conservation. After
waiting in London for more than a year,
he found there was no hope Of receiving
! conservation in England. He had. how
ever. the sympathy and support of many

This jamestown anniversary year is
causing a great deal, of looking back
ward Ancient records and ruins are
being explored with renewed ardor. and
among the most interesting sources Of
research are the old churches and church
yards. which are rich in tradition and
history Of the nations early days. Among
the ancient places Of worship within easy
access of Washington is Broad Creek
Church. This Maryland church. though
not nearly so familiar to WashingtOnianS
as Bruton. Pohick Christ's Church, in
Alexandria, and other of the Virginia
churches. is hoary and worthy of distinc-
ton. and one who delights in country
tramps may reach it by following the old
road down the Maryland shore of the
Potomac in the direction of Piscataway.
