S. mother house of the Society of St. John the Evangelist (Cowley Fathers), oldest (1865) order of priests in the Anglican communion. Present last week to lay the cornerstone of a chapel dedicated to St. Mary, Mother of God, were Episcopal Suffragan Bishop Samuel Gavitt Babcock of Massachusetts, pious Architect Ralph Adams Cram, Glassman Charles Jay Connick, able Organist Everett Titcomb, and Rev.
