"A library" said the speaker can

subjected to such unfair and unjust
criticism as contained i'll the article,

in The Star on Saturday evening last.
Whatever else might be said of St.
Margarets, surely no one can trui hfully
say that those having the affairs Of
the church In charge, from the rector
down to the sexton, are. or have ever
been. guilty of inhospitality.
/ never visit Washington that I do
not attend one or more services at St.
Margaret's and more cordial welcome
to strangers who worship there could
not be extended anywhere.
Should my friend from Buffalo. who
claims to have been held up in ST.
Margaret's on Sunday journey on to :ae
great city of New York, and appear at
many of the churches there at the be-
ginning of the service and expect a seat
handed on silver platter. my friend
from Buffalo would not be held up but
would be knocked out.
Oh, no. Buffalo. You are in the wrong
pew. Say what you will of ST. Mar
