Mr. Speaker. not many hours ago. the Nation paused in its daily routine to bow its head and say a prayer with those gathered in a turnofthecentury red brick church at the corner of Columbia Road and Dorchester Avenue in the Dorchester section of Boston. Never in their dream of dreams did the poor immigrants who built that church imagine the day would come when the leaders of the Nationformer President and Presidents wife. Cabinet members. Senators. Congressmen. ambassadors. cardinals and bishops. Governors. mayors. and legislators by the score would kneel in prayer and shed a tear in this. their humble parish church with pews so rough and altars plain.
