Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Parish of the Holy Apostles, Philadelphia 1868-1918
So many have had part in compiling the material which makes up this book that a word of explanation seems necessary.
In the Spring of nineteen seventeen, in View of the approaching fiftieth anniversary, the rec tor asked Mr. William G. Casner to prepare a brief history of the parish for Serial printing in The Monthly Message. Mr. Casner readily complied with the request, though it meant giv ing much of his needed summer's rest to the task. To him, however, it was a labor of love, and the searching of old records and minutes, usually so wearisome, was to him a reliving of old scenes and a re-entering into old intimacies, very precious to him. For two months he worked, and in the fall the history was ready.
