evils that infest mankind as typitied

while the busy bee will set forth indus
try, the bluebird tell of happiness, the
mourning doves of human grief and
the squirrel will denote thrift as ne
stores away his Winter store before the
snow comes.
Already the idea of symbolic folia-
ton in the decoration has been carried
out beautifully in the reredos of Beth
lehem Chapel of Washington Cathedral.
The outer border of the reredos running
UP into the apex of the arch represents
the flower and fruit of the Glastonbury
thorn, with its Christmas blossoming
mindful of the Lord" A careful list
of flora and fauna in the Cathedral
Close has been compiled by the cathe-
dral authorities. There is remarkable
variety of trees and plants already
noted.
Flowers for Models.
And Gothic art will find many lovely
specimens on which to model the deco
rations of the stone benedicite in the
multitude of flowers indigenous to the
soil of the Cathedral Close, which vary
from the stately aster to the modest
violet Nor will the vine, the symbol
emblematic of the church, be overlooked
by the sculptors in their foliation
scheme. The lavish use of trees, bushes
and foliage Is to be encouraged, as true
to Gothic tradition. The early masters
held them, because they put forth life
and vigor every Spring, as typical OF the
resurrection and immortality.

A baby possum captured on Mount
st. Alban will have his likeness carved
into stone on one of the bosses OF WASH
ington Cathedral and thus go down to
posterity as representative OF his type
of animal which inhabited the grounds
of this monumental Gothic edifice IN
the twentieth century.
Partridges. doves, tiny ground squir-
rels and other timid wood folk also will
be immortalized in the enduring stone
of the cathedral, 1t Is all part OF the
plan of foliation of the bosses and key
stones of the massive Gothic arches to
utilize the flora and fauna, the birds,
animals and other living things OF the
Cathedral Close In the decorative
scheme and thus tell to future genera
tions the simple story Of these humble
lives now inhabiting the smiling acres
of Cathedral Hill.
This stone benedicite is being care
fully planned by the cathedral authori.
ties and architects. The possum and
his comrades will be used as living
models by the artistic stone workers.

through their art these denizens OF the
Cathedral Close in the interior OF the
great Gothic cathedral in whose shadow
they dwell.
The Bird Sanctuary.
Perched on the edge of the famous
font dating back to Charlemagne's time
which adorns the quiet of the Bishops
Garden a group of featheFed songsters
congregate daily. The close Is veri-
table bird sanctuary, and the species
noted there range from gorgeous cardl-
nal birds to Saucy little SparroWS. A
pretty story is told by Mrs. q. q. r.
Bratenahl. chairman of the garden COM
mittee of Washington Cathedral, OF q
pair of catbirds who built nest In a
tall holly tree, later transplanted 10
the Bishops Garden. Through the
miles of the journey the two birds kept
close to the trailer never losing sight
of what they loved, flying, following,
clinging to moving branches tnrougn
city streets, then darting away only 10
return.
"And their quiet domestic peace"
concludes Mrs. Bratenahl, has had no
other interruption. And nearby IN an
other holly tree In the Bishops Garden
a pair of mocking birds built their nest
as soon as that ancient tree took the
turn into the Cathedral Close"
The style of architecture Of Washing
ton Cathedral, known as fourteenth
century Gothic, decorated, offers un-
usual opportunity for the beautiful or
der of aspiring lines and decorations
filled with meaning that unite strength
with rare beauty in the living message
of Christianity, and in this particular
instance will include as we'll natural
history of the time and place In which

ner, because the fear of contagion has
been done away"
An opposite viewpoint is taken by
Rev, Dr.. William H. Van Allen Of
Boston.
DR.. Van Allen insists that the sep
arate administration Of bread and wine
Is in conformity with the practice in
stituted by Christ at the Last Supper
and that one Is treading on dangerous
theological ground by proposing to de-
part from this practice.
1t implies, he says, that Christ IVES
ignorant of the laws Of sanitation,
thesis which hardly could be accepted
by an orthodox chugchman.
Injunction, he says, 'Savors OF my
sophobia, quasi-pathologica condition
arising from morbid preoccupation with
the possibilities of disease. Thus, !
knew two sisters, one of whom thought
so much about dangers of physical con-
tanination that she used to stay up
all night taking hot baths to wash
away the microbes threatening her.
When she came to the point Of requir-
ing her sister to share her vigil and
heat the water for her ablutions, she
was mercifully put under restraint.
MySophobia is no imaginary malady,
but real mental disease whose conse-
quences are often laughable and occa-
sionally serious.
"One remembers what Archdeacon
Stuck said, years ago, that he would
rather drink out of rusty tin dipper
which had passed through the hands OF
a whole village, than mark himself out
by using a paraffined- paper individual
cup. 1t applies with double force to
all humanity devised schemes for escap-
ing from the practical symbolism OF the
one cup, and Christs command, Drink
ye all of this"
II have never known or even heard
Of, single case of contagion through
the chalice; and venture to think
that those beloved brethren who have
brOoded over the possibilities OF such
are obSessed by the shadow OF fixed
idea, and are prepared to sacrifice
reverence, seemliness, and the rule OF
Christian antiquity to the phantom OF
their fears. The fact is that the cele-
brant must consume the ablutions, in
consequence running far greater risk
II these gloomy forebodings are at all
justified; whereas the clergy are no
toriously good risks" from the actu-
! aries point of view.
Such terrified timidity might de-
mand that the water for holy baptism
should be "c.p."; that the hands OF the
I! bishop should be Sterilized Immediately
before confirming and ordaining; that
the ring in holy matrimony should be
put into crucible SO as to destroy any
germs left on 1t; that Q germproof
veil should be set UP before every holy
ahEolutiop u pronounced &oS c0n2aA'
Evening star., 1928-10-10

sions to pass through 1t, and that holy
unction should be given only with rub
ber gloves. All of which reminds me
of the medical mans small son in the
church school where Genesis was being
studied. The teacher read a verse,
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and he lifted
UP his voice and wept.' Then, un-
wisely, she asked, Why do you suppose
he weptP Whereupon the altogether
too well informed youngSter said, Most
likely he was thinking about germs
Mobilization Necessary.
"Of course, in sanitariums and In
seasons of epidemic notifications of
this rule may be allowed. In 1918,
when the influenza was raging, the
people OF large parish were told that
If any of them had fears of contagion
they might decline the chalice, touch
ing the base of the cup with their fin
gers as is passed, but not putting 1t
to their lips. Perhaps half dozen, no
more, took advantage of that.
If there Is any serious fear of dis
ease from such cause and the fearful
are unwilling to hold with Quakers that
SacramentS are unnecessary, or with
Christian Scientists that it is quite
enough to think without using material
objects, communion in one kind ap-
pears to be better solution. The doc
trine of concomitance Is held generally,
In form explicit or implicit, and
though such an alarm is calculated to
bring about general adoption of the
prevalent Roman use, 1t would be better
than to struggle with multitude of
ceremonial practices all of which lack
authority and decorum. For the weak
and meticulous such communion is more
| reverent than intinction, while 1t does
not emphasize the fact of their weak
ness.
Let it not be forgotten that, as usu-
ally practiced, intinction Is likely to in
volve danger from pollution through the
| fingers, whether Of the celebrant or the
recipient; and 1t would be necessary,
were We to have scientific assurance
against that, to have each dip his hand
into disinfectant before every act-which
Is absurd! But 1t is scarcely more alb
| Surd and irreverent than to bind novel
use upon a congregation without any
shred of authority, and to compel them,
If they wish to receive holy commun-
ion as all their fathers did, to wait until
all others have received, and then (hav-
ing signified their intention) to come
forward last of all.
mo. 1t Is altogether safe and right
to follow the custom of the Primitive
Church under normal conditions, not
turning aside toward modern Rome or
