Excerpt from Saint James's Church, Chicago, and Its Rector: A Study of a Metropolitan Pastor

That worthy impulse of the heart to muse upon the achievements of those who have done their work and gone to their rest is perhaps nowhere else in our bor ders so fully and so profitably? Gratified as at St. J ames's Church, the home of a parish that has existed for eighty years. Here remembered are the builders of the city, the forefathers, the neighbours; and I love to wander along the quiet aisles to survey the tokens in bronze and marble of the piety of the dead and the love and veneration of the living. Their soft radiance, their dignified permanence, their lines of commemora tion at 'once terse and stately, infuse the mind with a pensive humility and impart to it a salutary steadiness, and reverie becomes no idle occupation.
