Million Dollar Mission Drive Marks 300 Years of Episcopalianism
The Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States marks three centuries since English settlement opened worship on Jamestown. Leaders in Philadelphia and New York push a bank offering of up to one million dollars for missions, aiming to fund church buildings and parish houses as the 1907 anniversary nears. The drive cycles through Bruton Church and Williamsburg with a Richmond convention planned for autumn 1907.

Question on McClellan eligibility for U.S. presidency
In the Sun day Post column a reader asks if Mayor McClellan of New York can be President given birth abroad. The answer explains citizenship rules, noting McClellan was born in Dresden to an American father who was briefly abroad, and cites statute requiring both father’s U.S. citizenship and residence in the United States for children born abroad to be natural-born citizens. It concludes only the Supreme Court could decide if he is natural-born.
