FREEMAN ADDRESSES
CATHEDRAL WORKMEN

Rt. Rev. James f. Freeman. Bishop
or Washington, today stepped aside
from his work OF raising money with
which to complete the National
Cathedral and addressed the men who
were materially building the edifice.
Standing on a slab Of stone on the
partially laid foundation, he told
about fifty workmen tEx1 they were
building the most important structure
on the continent.
He emphasized that the cathedral,
when completed. would not be for
Episcopalians alone, but would be
that one agency which would make
for unification of the American peo-
pie. without this America can never
occupy that position in the world
which IT hopes to attain, Bishop FIe
man added
Bishop Freeman said he would not
commit himself to this work Of COM
pleting the cathedral if he thought it
was to satisfy the Episcopal Church
He said If 1t does not stand for the
ideals Of every race, color and creed
1t VIII be a monument Of folly"
