CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN’S
“Dick Sheppard and St. Martin’s,” by R. J. Northcott. with an introduction by Bat McCormick (London: Longmans). St. Martin-in-the-Ftelds, after a descent from its early glories, has become again one of the best-known churches in tile world, and the man who was the cause of this and was responsible for its receiving that other name of “The Church of the Ever-Open Door,” was the late Canon Sheppard. It is most fitting, therefore, that this story of the romance of St. Martin’s should have Canon Sheppard’s name in its tide. Mr. Northcott has a wonderful story of service to relate and he uses his opportunity to good purpose. The rescue work, the influence of the various clubs and societies attached to die church, the activities of the vicar himself and his many helpers all go to make up an inspiring record.
