beauty or their historic associations

of the two churches remaining that
escaped The great fire Another is ST.
Heleu's. Wood street which Is also
worthy of preservation ON account Of
IT'S beauty. Then there are At leas-
two beautiful churches built by Sir
Christopher Wreu which no one would
think of dcmolshing. They are ST.
Bridp's Fleet street which has tho
most beautiful sDire GA London. and ST.
Mary Dr. Bow iu Cheapside. whose tow

which is the home OF the historic

other church which les worthy OF pro-

been demolished but the churches that
now stand were nearly all built soon
after the fire and their revenues are
based ON the enormously increa sed val
ue Of their holdings Of land and other
property
II is Impossible to obtain any accur-
ate estimate Of the capital value of the
sites. as OF course they have never come
into the market and land values in
London vary enormously, even within
"a few yards. Some Instances. however.
viii give an idea OF what the total
value must b. The site OF St. Mary's
WOOlnOth, which stands opposite the
Bank Of England. and under which an
underground railway station has been
built is valued at about 100000. That
Of st. Peter le Poer in Old Broad street,
tho heart Of the financial district, is
said to be- worth 100000 It's income
is $4,000 a year and ifs congregation
averages 30 persons. The site OF 81.
Thomas. ChartorhOuse, IS valued at
$4,000. while that OF All Hallows. LON
bard street, is said 10 b. worth no less
than 100000 The ground on which
ST Michaers and ST. Peters Cornhiu
is built is valued at $500, 600. II will
thus be seen what an enormous amount
Of capital IS tied up I'm these useless
churches The sum OF S5O,OO0OOO has
been mentioned. ana while 81 Is merely
rough guess, it Is not an excessive
figure.
From time to time "a few Of these USE
