The Diocese Of Maine is to erect a
stone church at East Deering in mem
DRY Of the late Bishop Robert Goldman.
Miss Catherine A. Goldman of Boston,
sister Of the late Bishop, started
the memorial chapel fund by a gift of
$1,000, while Mrs. Robert Goldman
Miss Margaretts Biddle Porter of
Philadelphia, Pa, will give the altar
arrangements in memory of her hus-
band The church has been designed
by Russell W. Porter, who was a
personal friend of the Bishop, and
although Mr.. Porter is not a practic-
ing architect, he is instructor of
architecture in Boston at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
Stephen Goldman, brother of the Bish-
op has been the consulting architect.
The church will be an attractive
stone and cement structure, with
bronze bas-relief doors of the Bishop.
The ground will soon be broken for
this new building. Bishop Goldman
was in every sense a missionary bish-
op and for this reason 1T is most ap-
propriate to have a Mission chapel
built to his memory. He had the true
missionary spirit, for he sought out
the isolated regions, where no sects
were f1ourishing, to establish his relig-
ion. Bishop Goldman was married
Sept. IS, 1915 at Bar Harbor to Miss
Margaretts Biddle Porter, who comes
from a prominent Philadelphia fam
lily. 1t was on his wedding journey
that the bishop was taken i'll and he
died in Boston, Oct. Z, a month after
his marriage. He is buried in the
Forest Hill cemetery, Boston, where
the Goldman family lot is situated
