Excerpt from Exhibition of the Society of Arts and Crafts: Together With a Loan Collection of Applied Art, Copley and Allston Halls, Boston, Mass., February 5 to 26, 1907 Thus far, however, craftsmanship holds somewhat aloof, contenting it self with secular activities. This is partly due to a lamentable lack ofsympa thy, partly to a want of knowledge how to proceed, partly to indifference on the part of the spiritual powers that, accustomed for so long to indif ferent makeshifts, are content with commercial products, forgetting that such are only too often unworthy as works of art, and inadmissible as in struments of service. A condition such as this should not exist. One of the greatest oppor tunities before the craftsman to-day is the service of the Christian Church through the fashioning of the innumerable items that go to the furnishing of the Sanctuary and that make possible the perfection of religious ceremo nial. The Church cannot spare the new craftsman in art, nor can he on his part afford to neglect what will prove to be his most munificent patron.
