Albans. 400 feet above the Potomac. there rises above us. still 300 feet higher. the Gloria in Excelsis Tower of the Washington Cathedral. The crest of the tower marks the highest point of this fair city. I was interested to learn that the master carver who supervised the carvings for the tower emigrated to this country from Italy as u young man and came to Washington to do stone carving on the Supreme Court Building. The belfry houses 53 bells in carillon and a ring of 10 handpulled bells for change ringing to proclaim occasions both solemn and festive. Before this distinguished assembly and the world. the bells today proclaim the joyous tidingof the completion of this quietly soaring tower that is a sermon in stone.
