It is true that ecclesiastical architecture is at a lower ebb in America than anywhere else in the world, Germany alone excepted. But we do not ask for work which shall compare with the most beautiful sanctuaries reared under different con- ditions in England; we do expect, however, work which shall at least equal that of the Episcopal Church and the Protestant denominations, and that we do not find. On the contrary, if a 237 THE GOTHIC QUEST Roman Catholic who knows something of art and loves ...beauty goes into an unfamiHar town or city, he is perfectly well aware that he has but to pick out the barest, commonest red brick and granite structure that thrusts itself onto the side- walk, and he will have found his own church. It is possible to lament this fact, not to deny or palliate it.
Let me describe two churches with which I am acquainted in one of our eastern states; they repre- sent very accurately the average in this region. The first is in one of the largest cities of a vast diocese.
