The Washington herald., 1907-12-28

The death OF Mr.. C. F. Bodley. archi-
tect Of Washington Cathedral. left that
position vacant II has now been filled
by the appointment Of Mr.. Herbert
Vaughan, of Boston.
Before Mr.. Bodley's death alterations
were contemplated on the west facade
OF the cathedral, and Mr.. Vaughan has
been signally successful in accomplishing
the changes desired. An English row Of
statues ran across the facade. and the
effect was not considered as particularly
desirable. In its place there has been
substituted French bas-relief in which
Christ is represented as in the Temple
at Jerusalem Uttering the only words He
is said to have ever spoken about a
cathedral. or its then equivalent. MY
house shall be called the House of
Prayer"
Rev. Robert E. Browning Bishop Sat
terlee's secretary. has hardly had time
TO feel at home in his new position be-
fore he has received a very fattering
call TO succeed the late Rev. Arthur
Mann, at Shanghai, China. Mr.. Mann's
work was of threefold character. In
NAAN VI administration ne naG quite
a responsible position. He did consider
able teaching in the preparatory and
collegiate departments OF St Johns Col
lege, and lastly he had much to do with
the training Of native candidates for the
ministry.
As Mr.. John r. Mott said the other day.
there is probably no mission field In the
world at present where the possibilities
are gerater than they are IN China. The
opportunities there are altogether ex-
ceptional Mr. Browning is therefore 10
be congratulated on his selection. He
does not, however. leave until next fall,
Bishop Graves and DR.. Pott being both
wiling to wait until that time for him
that itself being no slight compliment.
Bishop Satterlee and Rev. DR.. Nc
Kim, rector of Epiphany Church. were
appointed at the last meeting Of the
board Of missions to attend a proposed
meeting of the secretaries and repre-
sentatives Of the various missionary
societies with the Board Of Indian
Commissioners on February % and 81.
There is TO be an interesting service
at the Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital
on Fifteenth street next Monday. Some
time ago the board Of lady managers
Of the hospital ordered a window from
New York, which was to be a memorial
both of DR.. f. Oliver Bell, the founder
OF the hospital. and Mrs. George Stet-
son. president for seven years Of the
board Of lady managers. The subject
of the window was Christ healing lit
tie children In due time the New
York firm reported that-the window
was on its way. and the hospital au-
thoritieS began preparations for ded-
icatOry service. At last came, but
when II was opened, 10, ne subject was
entirely different from that ordered.
Somewhere great mistake had been
made. About the same time a church
over in San Francisco. Cal. was hav-
ing a similar experience. It, too, had
ordered n stained glass window of a
particular design, and when the long
looked FOR glass had arrived. 10. il was
something that would neither fit the
space it was intended to fill nor suit
the general design. There had been a
bad mix up Of church and hospital
glass. Eventually. the mistake was
rectified, and now the hospital window
having arrived from New York via
San Francisco. the dedication is to be
held Monday next The Rev. c. r
StetsOD. son OF Mrs. George StetSOn
late vicar of the Chapel Of the Good
Shepherd in Northeast Washington
and now connected with Old Trinity
New York, is TO unveil the window
with the assistance Of Rev. William
Tayloe Snyder, chaplain of the hos
pital. who is also rector Of the Church
of the Incarnation, Twelfth and n
streets.
The ffty-frst annual report Of the So
ciety for the Increase of the Ministry IS
just out. The Bishop Of Connecticut is
president and It has an imposing array
of names as managers.
