One of the most indefatiga-
BILE Pilgrim Aides is Miss Sarah
Beardslee. a former Phila-
delphia school teacher. who
has been a volunteer Pilgrim
Aide and a member of the
Cathedral staff since 1916. She
gives faithful eight-hour day
to Cathedral hospitality and as
commentator every week day.
Miss Beardslee has every right
to lay claim to greeting a mil
lion pilgrims during her serv-
ice at the. Cathedral. Miss
Madge Cook has seen 20 years
of service as an aide and Miss
Nan Stoddert also has a long
record of service.
In recent years there has
been an increase in the tempo
of visits by young people and
children. The earnestness with
which they listen to the Pill
grim Aide expositors and study
the various details of the

with much satisfaction by Mrs.
Howard and the other aides.
Troops of girl and boy scouts
and other uniformed groups

of the Cathedral.
Have the Facts
The Pilgrim Aides furnish
accurate information on the
cathedral, culled from weeks
of intensive study under the
direction of the Cathedral
clergy and cathedral experts.
They never guess at the answer
to a question. If they do not
know, they say So. and refer
the queStioner to someone

These true disciples Of the

their purple robes and purple

Mrs. Howard has a rendez-

of Gothic architecture and &C.
clesiastical art. She greets
them in the sublime quietude
Of the Cathedral Crossing near
the Canterbury Ambon, or pull
pit, once in Canterbury
Cathedral. A group of Pilgrim
Aides always stand by ready to
conduct tours of the Cathedral.
On major occasions, such as

pilgrims may increase to 1000
