Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Volume and History of St. Mark's Parish, Minneapolis, Minn A Parish is an enlarged family, a portion of the house hold of God. He would be scarcely human who did not feel some sense of pride in the family name and took no pains to preserve the family tree. But who can boast of higher lineage than those in whose veins ows the blood of the King of Kings, and who know themselves to be the children of God? May we not well trace the stream of our ancestry and emphasize the blood relationship which makes all the members of the parish of one kin? As brothers and sisters we should know each other as inti mately as possible. Here conventionality should give way to a genuine affection. For ust forty years the corporate life of St. Mark's has continued with ever increasing as piration. It is inevitable that, in such a parish, scattered as it is over the entire city, the various members cannot come into close touch with each other, and a measure of estrangement will be found; but it should be the constant effort of all the members to break down the walls of sepa ration, to realize and exalt the brotherhood of the fol lowers of Christ, and of the members of this one house hold of faith.
