while building operations In most lines
in New York are dun, the building of
Christian churches and of parish houses
and schools for the propagation OF the
Christian faith is to be brisk this summer
and fall. Plans arc being drawn for
structures Of the kind described that will
cost upward of $1o,O00,oCo. Almost all of
this large sum will be put into buildings
on Manhattan Island, with a modest pro-
portion In The Bronx and Brooklyn. Not
all will be used this summer, but at
least 100000 will be, and the balance
as rapidly as construction work can pro-
coed. The list includes parish church

tainly surpasses any other in the world

largest i'm America and a series OF build
ings for one organization that in expense
and completeness surpass anything the
world has yet seen.
The cost OF the new St Bartholomew
Church in Park av. has not yet been

news will hardly build less expensive
church than did st. Thomass congrega-
ton, and the latter has expended $i'5"'VVV
