Page:Bruton parish church restored and its historic environments (1907 V2).djvu/15

Author's Preface stood for, and what she has inspired, consecrated, and helped to accomplish, is suggested. Because Bruton Parish Church bears witness to the continuity of this life, and shared so largely in the accomplishment of the results which have been attained, the building, as a memorial of the past, is "The noblest monument of religion in America."

The Rector would record his grateful appreciation of the kind co-operation of those who have, by plans contributed, advice given, and generous contributions made to the work, enabled us to preserve the church and restore its interior to its ancient form and appearance.
