LONDON CHURCH FOR UNITED STATES.—A relic of Christopher Wren’s London began to disappear as work began on the final stage of dismantling the Wren church of St. Mary Aldermanbury, which is to be shipped to the United States. Each stone of the building is counted, for re-assembly 4000 miles away on the Westminster College campus at Fulton, Missouri, where Sir Winston Churchill made his historic “Iron Curtain” speech in 1946. The church is to be re-erected stone by stone as a memorial to Britain’s famous war-time leader.
