Trowels

Choir boys chanted, Bishop Manning intoned, candles flickered. Six workmen rapped their trowels and set to work on a $250,000 baptistry. Thus was resumed the building of St. John the Divine, Manhattan, begun 30 years ago. The cost will be $15,000,000 of which $5,000,000 has been spent. Another decade will complete it, said the Bishop.
