WHY NOT A STATUE ,5
OF ROGER WILLIAMS

Mr.. F. L. Stickney. a member Of the
Calvary Baptist Church, in letter to
The Herald advocates the erection of a
memorial to Roger Williams in the Cap
ital by the Baptists of America.
Directly opposite Emmanuel, Church.
at Sixteenth Street and Columbia Road
Mr.. Stickney says. lis a triangular piece
of ground facing the south and just large
enough for a statue and hardly adapted
for building. Why cannot the Baptists
Of America buy that piece OF ground and
erect a statue of some famous leader
say of Roger Williams? 1t can be had
for a reasonable sum. Such a project
ought to unity the great denomination
North, East. South. and West. The
Presbyterians have a fine statue of With
erspoon in front OF the Church of the
Covenant, and the Lutherans a heroic
figure of Martin Luther in front of Me-
mortal Lutheran Church. What an OBJ
ject lesson it would be for future gener-
atoms to have on one of our finest resi-
dental streets, at a commanding site
facing the White House, a statue Of the
great apostle of civil and religious lib
erty!"
