The Mystical Church of the Comforter Is one of London's most cu rious churches. Babies are baptized in a room that was once only used by impatient travelers waiting for their trains; funeral services are read In It and a marriage has been solemnized This church has been in existence for about six years. One end of the former waiting room has been transformed by an altar painted white and surrounded by the seven colors of the rainbow. Seven steps lead to the altar, and at the side are two pillars representing beauty and strength. Everything is done by symbols In this remarkable I church and the badge worn by mera- Ibers Is a dove standing In a circle with a seven-leafed bcuneu In Us beak. i The leader and founder of the church was a woman named Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Eagle Skinner, with the official title of "messenger." |
