Advances Funds
IoFiniish Church

Eleven years after work was
halted because of the depression,
construction will be renewed on
st. Peters Episcopal Church, one
of the oldest congregations of that
faith on the west side.
Funds for the building of the
100000 church were pledged by
two wealthy men in 1929. The
work was started and by 1880 the
framework had been completed.
But the anonymous donors went
broke and the project was stopped.
A few days ago one of the
original donors came to the Rev.
Irwin C. Johnson. rector of ST.
Johns Church, and authorized him
to proceed with the finishing of
the church at a cost of SIS. 900.
ST. Peters has recently been
operated as a parochial mission of
st. Johns.
During recent years services
have been held in the basement of
the church. The Reverend John
son expects the completed church
TO be ready for use by Easter.

Under the federation plan.
donors contribute $50 yearly at
the rate of $3.50 a month. The
money is sent to England and the
fund administrated by the British
fund. Each contributor receives
a letter giving the name of the
child who was aided by the money
and frequently a transatlantic
correspondence is begun between
child and contributor.
Lesson of Mercy
The money is used for food,
clothing, supplemental medical and
surgical care, housing and other
needs of children in England, both
British and refugee. Also, the
federation stresses the value of
teaching the bombed children that
the world is not filled with enc
mics, that somewhere they are
being thought about with affection
by persons unknown to them.
The federation is not an emer-
gency organization. It was at
work before the war and expects
to continue when the war is ended.
Its headquarters are at l Madison
avenue, New York City.
