Excerpt from A Few Words to Church BuildersPatron Saint.rarely, if ever, in use among our ancestors. Such are - S. Paul, instead Of ss. Peter and Paul, Christ church, and S. Saviour' s, for a small building, Emmanuel church, and the like. But who would found a church in England - once the England of Saints - with out some attention to the local memory of those holy men whose names still live in the appellations of many Of our towns? Who, in the Diocese of Lichfield, would forget S. Chad? In that of Dur ham, S. Cuthbert? In those of Canterbury and Ely, S. Alphege, and S. Etheldreda? Surely, near S. Edmund's Bury, a church - founder would naturally think of S. Edmund, or in the west Of Wales, of S. David! Still it may be as well to confine ourselves to the holy men commemorated in our own Calendar, not as undervaluing others, the Blessed Saints and Martyrs of the Most High, but in order that we may not give occasion to be accused of Romanism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
