 "Before the open fire, with Father (Blow) in the center in that
big leather chair and we on either side of him, he told us the story.
'Boys', he said, 'I want you to keep alive in this congregation
what I am going to tell you tonight. My sister made a journey to the
Holy Land... and by my request picked up small stones... about seven
pounds. I took these to God's altar, blessed them with holy water
and prayer. When the foundation at the south end was about two feet
high, I placed three picked from the River Jordan, where Christ was
baptized, for through baptism we enter His Church.'
'When the chancel arch was finished, I myself placed some pebbles
above the keystone which came from Bethlehem... and I want the people of Sheboygan
to come, as the Shepards did, to accept Christ.'
 'When the north wall was as high as the altar table, I placed in
the clean mortar pieces of olive wood and some stones which were found in
the Garden of Gethsemane...
When this same wall was a little above the
windows, there I placed five stones (Christ received five wounds when He
was crucified). These were brought from Golgotha. Above the
ballroom of the tower, I placed fifteen stones in the form of a cross,
three stones at the base, eight above each other, four across to form the
cross; three base stones, the Holy Trinity; twelve, the twelve
apostles...'"

also be found in the book about the Grace Episcopal Church, "Amazing
Grace. A Sesquicentennial Remembrance." Please
