TRIBUTE 10 MEMORY
REV. DIR. McKIM EULoGIzES
BISHOP SATTERLEE.

Tribute to the memory Of the late Rev.
Or. Henry Yates Satterlee, Bishop OF
Washington, was voiced by Rev. DR.. Ran.
dolph II Mckim, rector Of the Church OF
the Epiphany, in sermon yesterday
morning.
Bishop Satterlee's name will go down
in history as the founder Of the Cathe-
dral Of SIS. Peter and Paul in the National
capital" DR.. McKim said. "1t was Bishop
Satterlee who breathed life into the idea.
and he first gave it tangible form. 1t
was he who succeeded in focusing public
attention and interest In 1t, and made the
church realize its Importance and believe
the possibility Of its realization.
Bishop Satterlees' courage was adni-
rable" DIR. McKim continued. He ad-
dressed himself to his great task as the
founder Of the cathedral with a fearless
ness born of a living faith in God. and OF
a deep conviction that the work was
Gods work.
Nothing daunted him. Bravely ne
always hopeful, always seeing the end
as an event ordained Of God. He was
man OF steadfast courage. How patient
~, how indefatigably he labored! Ho"
steadily he kept to his task! How
his whole heart and sould were set upon
5000
his thoughts centered about It!
Above all, he was a man of vision.
He saw the city Of God rise in glory De-
fore him, and gave himself with whole
souled devotion to bring It down to EARN
to make II a reality.
1T was not given to him TO see even
a small part of the material edihce OF
the cathedral actually built. but how
much be accomplished nevertheless
Laying Foundation Stone.
1.-The scene Of last September % rises
before me as I speak. 1 see him stand
ing, trowel In hand. laying the founda-
ton stone Of the great Cathedral Of SIS.
Peter and Paul. What a noble and COM
mandine figure he presented in the pres
ence Of the President of the United
States, the Bishop of London, and a great
array Of distinguished men. surrounded
also by that great company OF bishops
and clergy. and that vast multitude OF
the citizens Of Washington. 1t Was the
climax Of his career. the zenith Of his
life. We did not know 1t then. but his
life's work was done. l recall the scene
because 1t presents Henry Yates Satter-
lee as he will be remembered in the gen
the foundation OF the Cathedral Of Wash
ington.
bid you farewell. 1t was not Gods will
that you should live to see the building
rise In it's beauty and its glory before the
eye OF flesh. but you have impressed your
character upon 1t. You have laid down
the lines OF the structure. You have
fixed upon it the stamp Of your personal
ity and the principles to which you were
devoted. On those lines it must and will
be builded. Other hands than yours will
direct the work you have relinduished at
the bidding OF the Master, but those lines
Of yours must be adhered to. those prin-
ciples must be conserved. If 1t takes
fifty years or hundred to build It.. still,
when built, 1t will be a cathedral which
you founded. whose form and fashion
your hand directed. Tour name. dear and
venerated bishop, will cling to 1t as the
name Of Bishop Wykham clings to the
venerable Cathedral Of Winchester
