The article presents the comments of the author on recent public appeal for the sum of $1,000,000 to carry forward the construction of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, with its confident assurance that the wealthy people of New York and elsewhere will give him the money. The U.S. is in midst of the worst depression the country has ever seen, with at least 12,000,000 Americans without employment, with the federal government pouring out billions of dollars annually to keep some of those millions from starving to death.
