Morton to i Is from less distin- ed perfons. - A large numbeériof contributions are from persons liv- ing in Harl from whose streets the outlines of the growing cathedral on the Heights stand out against the ¥. : In 1902 the Cathedral League was organi: "Each member agrees to pay towards the erection one hun- ITars; éither in a lump sam or in ten anntial instalments of $10 each. The membership has increased stead- ily, until it is 600, and in the ast two years it has contributed $15,000. Such a sum looks small alongside of Mr. Morton's 000, John Jacob Astor's $100,000, the ) from the Cole estate for the endowment fund, and other gifts of six figures, but the trustees are determined that there shall be no excuse for thinking St. Jolin's a rich man's church." The article in' the league's constitution opening its membership to any per- son "in sympathy with the erection and proper maintenance" of the cathedral, is no empty formula. One of the earliest contributors to the undertaking was a well-known Pres- byterian, who gave $100,000 of the 50,000 paid for the site, and = from time to time Presbyterian clergymen have sent smaller sums. The most striking evidence of the wide appeal of the cathedral is furnislied by the gifts for a porch for one of the tran- septs. The fund was started by wo- men, and the contribution of one of them, $2, is immediately ahead of a $5,000 gift from E. H. Harriman and two annual subscriptions of A $500 each. Slowly as the cathedral grows to modern eyes, it is being built far more rapidly with these voluntary contributions than were a great ma- jority of similar mediaeval structures for the erection of which all the re- sources of a feudalized church and an enthusiastic city government were called into play. When the good burghers of Sienna - determined to surpass their rivals of Pisa in the magnificence of their cathedral, as they were striving to 'do in their po- litical power, every man who owned an ox of a horse was compelled to draw without charge loads. of stone from the quarries and every cifizen, rich: or poor. was obliged by law to contribute something in cash or its equivalent once a year. Even the valor of the citizen-militia was turned to profit; and the robber-barons of 'the surrounding country were glad to purchase peace at the price of heavy gifts to the undertaking. Many cit- izens devoted their lives and their entire property to the cathedral, and the city records contain provisions for the payment of peusions to sev- eral of the "oblates,". as they were called. Yet, with all this effort, the Cathedral of Sienna still stends un- finished, more than six centuries af- ter it was begun. The prices paid for labor on such cathedrals as that of Sienna were ridiculously low, compared with modern standards. Niceola Pisano, the foremost sculptor of his time, ac- cepted in 1262 the contract for erect: ing and decorating a marble pulpit. For this work he received eight cents a day and his assistants six. On the many holidays when fio work was done there was no pay. Either pgint- ing was held in. higher esteem than sculpture, or prices had risen in the next forty years, for in 1308 Diccio di Boninsegna obtained sixteen cents a day for painting the altar-piece. What the citizens of Sienna, who scrutinized with a jealous eye these expenditures, would Mave said to L000 for a chapel; can hardly be conjectured. © The little chapel at New York's new cathedral on which this sum is being spent is the gift of August Belmont. Alongside of St. viour's, as the Belmont memorial is called, there ure being dug the foundations-of 'a_second chapel--the ft of the tate Mrs. Edward King he great bulk of the contributions are made without restrictions. In such cases half the money is spent on building and half goes into the endowment fund to provide an in- come for the maintenance of the vast structure and the prosecution of the varied activities of which it is to be the centre. The 'wisdom of this course is apparent as the revenués of the organization wing up around the piles of granite on Morningside Heights are derived from the collec- tions at the services.

"In 'the upper classes nurses wvernesses are taking the place of mother, a masters . and colle utors are expected to fill the p of the father. So great are the claims of business and politics that fathers and mothers declare they ive no time to look after ther children." What is the ems dy?" asked the Bishop. "I lies in the revival of true home life. Marriage must be treated with the utmost honor and reverence, and we must uphold the pure and reverem love one man for one : woman. The claims of society must never compete with the claims of home life! The Bishop of Manchester, speaking at Blackburn on the same day, viewed with amazement the large palaces springing up on all sides for the amusement of the people. "Clergymen," he added, "who cannot find people at their homes must follow them to places where they collect, and seek 'to make a first impression on them either in their places of amusement or near them, following them home to continue . the work. Evangelists as well 'as pastors are required Jf the Church of England is to do its duty to the nation." i ------------ Speak Out Strongly.

For this they can choose on Christmas Eve a picce of beef, or a turkey or goose, besides = tea, sugar, currants and raisins.

The German emperor's.impressions of the divine attributes of sovereigns are being demonstrated, In the elaborate ornamentation of the chief door of the new cathedral at Metz, under the figures of prophets and apostles, is a' model of the Kaiser as the Prophet Daniel.

In the parish church of Wilhelmshoe, their favourite summer residence, is a window with the empress' picture as St. Elizabeth, A Farmet's Wit.
