IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH, EDGEFIELD—Construction of the Immaculate Concep-
tion Church, Edgefield, South Carolina, was begun several years before the War Between the States
and vhe imposing granite structure, of Norman design, was dedicated October 21, 1860, by Bishop P N
Lynch, of Charleston, who several years later was sent to the Vatican by President Jefferson Davis, of
tha Southern Confederacy, on a diplomatic mission. Now served by priests of the Congregation of the
Oratory, from St William’s Church, near Ward, thy parish in Edgefield has an interesting history.
1 hough not notable for its size, the church, pictured above, is famed for its beauty, and at the time
° ]ts dedication was considered one ol the finest Catholic edifices south of the Potomac.
Proposes Exchange of Representative By
Vatican and World Council of Churches
i (By Religious News Service)
NEW YORK.—An exchange of
representatives between the World
Council of Churches in Geneva
and the Vatican in Rome was ad
vocated here by The Presbyterian
Tribune, a leading unofficial de
nominational weekly.
While the World Council “is
not a temporal power,” the paper
said, “there would be wisdom in
establishing a spiritual exchange
of emissaries between Geneva
and the Vatican.”
The Tribune made the recom
mendation in an editorial defend
ing Myron Taylor’s presence at
the Vatican as a special repre
sentative of the President of the
United Stales.
“It is well known,” the Tribune
said, “that there is serious ten
sion between the Roman Catho
lic Church and the Soviet Rus
sian Government. If that tension
is inclined to foment a spirit of
war then it is the business of our
representative at the Vatican to
inform our government, just as
it is the business of our ambas
sador to Moscow to keep Wash
ington posted on viewpoints in
that country.”
The editorial contended also
that Mr. Taylor's mission "has
worked an advantage—materially
and spiritually — to the Protes
tants of Italy. He has been in
strumental — as no one else had
been—in getting relief supplies
from the United Slates into the
hands of needy Italian Protes
tants.”

The Tribune conceded that it
had previously favored Mr. Tay
lor's recall, but it explained that
certain developments have come
to light since the cessation of lios-"
tilities “that would permit rea
sonable doubt about the validity
of the protests” made against
American representation in Rome.
