Thus last week in The Churchman (Episcopal) wrote Rev. Dr. Donald Bradshaw Aldrich of Manhattan's Church of the Ascension. His remarks were by way of foreword to an article "Flowers on the Altar" by Mrs. Eleanor H. Sloan, Connecticut horticulturist who long has been on the Church of the Ascension's Altar Guild.
