- Solace for the weary.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: SOLACE FOR THE WEARY #3393 LOS ANGELES -- Grace Cathedral’s Wayside Shrine of St. Francis -- a tiny chapel seating only 12 persons -- is open here 24 hours a day for those seeking rest and spiritual meditation. A year ago it was a shabby little shack, but Canon Charles Shreve dreamed of making it a place of refuge for men and women of all religions and creeds. The Shrine cost $3,000, all of it contributed within a space of two weeks. John de Rosen, famous muralist, after spending an hour in the Shrine, offered to paint the meeting of St. Francis and the beggar over the altar free of charge.
