Excerpt from The American Architect and the Architectural Review, Vol. 121: January to June 1922 Again, while a great Gothic cathedral may be in place in very few cities, I have my doubts as to whether it is in place in many of the cities in this country. While of course it is most appropriate for a few great services throughout the year, there is an enormous waste in connec tion with all the other services. Or to put it in another form, I am much afraid that our Church is being led into a great cost for bricks and mortar and beauty of architecture, all very well, which in time will mean a very heavy fixed charge on the Church for a comparatively inadequate return.
