The Church In The Way


DR. JOHNSON censured Gwyn, the architect, for taking down a church,

which might have stood for many years, and building a new one in a more

convenient place, for no other reason but that there might be a direct

road to a new bridge. You are taking, said the doctor, a church out

of the way, that the people may go in a straight line to the

bridge.--No, sir, replied Gwyn: I am putting the church in the

way, that the people may not go out of the way.
