CATHEDRAL DRIVE
APPEAL SENT OUT
W. r. Castle Presents Plea
to D. c. Residents in
Fund Appeal.

With $4,000 Of q quota Of $25, 900
already raised by the laymen's group
which now Is campaigning for funds
for Washington Cathedral, an appeal
has gone out for general support of
the committee In the final phase of
its drive.
Belief that there are hundreds Of
persons in Washington who have not
been reached personally by the COM
mittee, but who would be glad to con-
tribute, is expressed by w. r. Castle,
1900 s street. president Of the Ma
tional Cathedral Association, in o
letter to The Star.
Text Of Castle Letter.
The text of Mr.. Castles letter fol-
lows:
May I call the attention OF your
readers to the effort now being made
by a group of laymen in Washington
under the leadership Of Mr.. Lloyd
Wilson, president Of the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co., to build
up the annual membership constitu-
ency Of Washington Cathedral. This
effort has already reached about four
fifths of the way toward its goal of
s25,000, and has secured some 900
Of the 1000 members sought locally.
But am sure that there must be
hundreds of people in Washington
who have not been reached person.
ally by members of our committee
who, If they realized the need, would
be glad to contribute to support the
work and worship of the Cathedral
on Mt. st. Alban. They are proud
Of 1t because 1t Is one Of the most
beautiful buildings In America. They
are proud Of 1t also because 1t stands
for Christian unity, welcomes to its
services members Of all denomina-
tions. The Cathedral, crowning the
highest land In Washington, typifles
the Christian idealism which is one
Of the inspirations of our national life.
Hope for Large Sums.
May I ask all who are interested
to help us carry on q work which Is
for all those who live in the vicinity
and all those who are temporary
guests in the National Capital to send
either membership pledges or sub
scriptions for the year beginning June
l to me personally or to the Ca
thedral We hope that q few persons
Of means may be interested to give
large sums, but we consider 1t even
more important to build the number
Of small subscribers. people willing to
become members of the National Ca
thedral Association after they have
fulfilled their commitments to their
own parishes and churches. All those
Subscribing two dollars or over receive
that beautiful illustrated quarterly,
THE Cathedral Age" which give,
worldwide news of interest to all
Christians.
II hope this letter may rouse the
interest and the sympathy Of many,
in Washington and elsewhere. Help
us to make the Cathedral a source
of spiritual power to the Capital and
| to the nation"

Senator Borah's persistent fight to

Cleveland to get to work cleaning up
