ST. PAUL'S: A CHURCH
WITH A STORY

Since postwar building needs al.

historic churches and threaten the ex-
lstence OF others, those that remain
will be enhanced In historic value. one
OF those which viii stand, barring
some natural calamity, Is 81. Paul's ca
ihedral. This famous church, like the
English constitution, represents
growth OF centuries rather than a def
mite period OF construction. Indeed,
a request for funds ito complete ST.
Phul's' was made during the war. And
England's esteem for the historic edl-
flee was shown by the continuation of
restoration work throughout the war
despite the interruption to practically
all other building.

church In the world. Its dome is one
Of the most beautiful. The church
embodies architectural ideas Of many
periods, because II Is not the product

True, Sir Christopher Wren is credited
with the structure as II stands to-
day, but he embodied many features
Of the famous "Old ST. Paul's." razed
in the great London fire Of 1866. Wren
did not wish the restoration 10 be after
