Most Washington observers be­ lieve that the move against the Scan-: diftavian countries marks |ho opening o f a general war o f major proportions. Some predict that Germany will soon invade Holland and Belgium. Others think that the next operations will- be in the Balkans, with England en­ deavoring to abut off Germany’s sup­ plies o f oil and'wheat. On capitol Hill the universal Reeling is oho o f sym­ pathy fo r the Scandinavian countries; but Underneath is a strong determina­ tion that the United States shall not and must not become involved in the European conflict.

One o f the first buildings at the now site was the Wren community building erected in 1695, and the state capitol in 1705; and later a church beside such residences as best could be erected in those days'. A court house was a necessity tor transaction o f public business and such was erect­ ed and its Wails stand' today. In 1600 was .erected a house o f wor­ ship, the old .foundation of which was discovered a few years ago on the site of the present building which was erected about 1706 and services, have been held there weekly.ever Since. This parish was called Bruton, being nam­ ed after Bruton, County, Somerset, England. This was the home o f .the governor, Sir William Berkley and the Ludwell family. The second building was o f brick and erected about.1715 and has served its purposes until this day. About 1752 the building was fotmd to be in­ adequate to accommodate the congre­ gation and was lengthened to 100 fort with, a breadth of 28 feet and two wings on each side 22 feet in. width. An, organ was installed in 1755 with Peter Pelham organist. A brick wall was erected arpund the churchyard and completed in 1754 which also en­ closed the graveyard. ■ ' ’ Church history says a new steeple Whs erected in 1769 and. in it. .hUrtg the “ Liberty Beil” o f Virginia given to tile parish in 1761 by James Tarpr ley. -A gallery in the rear- Was com­ pleted to cate for the students o f the College o f William -and Mary and church records show that the door'to the gallery was locked at the begin­ ning o f the four hour service so the students could hot leave until church services were ended. No church-edifice in the country lias as complete a record o f its cxist- ance as Bruton Parish Church. THe building was improved in 1840 and again in 1905. One o f the treasured books is a Pre-Revolutionary Prayer1 Book stamped op the binding ‘‘Brut­ on Parish 1752”, in which the prayer for the President o f the United States is pasted over the prayer for- King George; the Pre-Revolutionary Bible, 1753; the old Parish Register o f bap­ tisms and deaths back to 1662* and the Baptismal jf’ont which was brought from Jamestown to Williamsburg in 1609, also the communion sendee.
