Silas McBee editorializes on several topics, including the idea that upcoming Jamestown Exposition is not only a time for antiquarian interest in the past but a foundation for a wider vision that will allow the Church to continue growing in the United States and adapting so it can achieve that growth, and the importance of the construction of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City and the need for its art and architecture to reflect the lives of its people. In the “Chronicle and Comment,” McBee discusses President Roosevelt’s statements about railroad regulation and the recent financial instability; as well as a recent charge, which McBee terms “preposterous,” that Roosevelt would make or withhold a nomination because of a financial gift from Edward Henry Harriman.
