St. John’s cathedral, being erected oy the Episcopalians at New York, has been considered the most magnificent

attempt at church architecture in America, but within the next six years the Catholic cathedral, now building at St. Louis, bids fair to rival in grandeur and beauty even that tem ple. The construction of this new Catholic cathedral is being watched with ever-increasing interest. The laying of the corner-stone a short time ago was the occasion of the most splendid ceremonies in which distinguished visitors from afar, a special representative of the pope, and 40,000 Catholics took part. ‘According to Archbishop Glennon, the Cathedral will be completed within six years. The cost of the exterior will be $1,500,000, and of the interior, when completed, another million. The cost of the site at Lindell boulevard and Newstead avenue was $300,000. The structure will be larger than several of the famous old world cathedrals. Modeled after St. Sophia’s at Constantinople, it will overtop the latter 50 feet in height, and will be 111 feet longer: It will be two feet higher than Notre Dame at Paris, and 46 feet wider. It will surpass in both height and width Westminster abbey in London. The, St. Louis cathedral will be 350 feet in length, 216 feet in width and 225 feet in altitude at the dome. It seating capacity will be 4,500, of who! 2,300 can sit in unobstructed view the altar and 3,000 in full view of.the officiating priest. The floors of the auditorium, aisles and perambulatories will be paved with marble mosaic in harmony with "the general color scheme of the interior.

_There will be four separate chapels, each as large as the ordinary church in St. Louis, and costing $lOO,OOO each. A perambulatory, supported by great columns, will surround the entire a;xditorium. : . 5

The Byzantine style of architecture was adopted because of its superior economy over the ornate and elaborate Gothic. It-is‘declared that Gothic buildings cost three times as much as those in the Byzantine style.

This Byzantine ‘warn%h and variety of color will mark-the interior of the St. Louis cathedral, with its countless columns in rare amd beautifully colored marble, its !spandrels,. band courses, architraves and balustrades of rich mosaic, and its splendid mural decorations on canvas. Indeed, it is the purpose of the designers to make. the interior a veritable palace of religious art. The historian in his comments on St. Sophia goes on to say that “the memory of past calamities inspired Justinian with wisg resolution that no wood, except for doors, be admitted to the edifice.” The structure was of brick, faced with marble, and the finishings of the interior were of marble, tile and mosaic. The St. Louis cathedral will be even more nearly fireproof, bronze taking the place of wood for the doors and solid stone for the walls, with massive foundations of concrete. The splendid dome will be covered with green mission tile and the heating, ventilation and artificial cooling of the sanctuary and chapels during the summer will be in accordance with the most modern methods. Everything for beauty, comfort and safety has been provided, making the building perfect in all its details. The marbles for the interior

RICHEST JAP IN AMERICA.

He Owns Many Stores and a Large Shingle Mill in Oregon.

. 8. Ban, the wealthiest Japanese in the United States, is in Denver for the week, says the Denver Post. Mr. Ban owns stores in Denver, Portland (Ore.), Sheridan (Wyo.), Salt La:e and two in Japan, one of these being one of the largest in Tokyo. In addition he has extensive timber interests and a huge shingle mill in Oregon. -

Twenty-one years ago Mr. Ban came to the United States. He was wealthy 4n Japan, and says that he came to the United States as a place where money could be made rapidly.

“The United States is a wonderful country for any race,” said he. “It is the sountry of opportunities. I have worked hard since I have been in this country and I have been rewarded for my labors. “The Japanese who come to this country come here to work. You will never find Japanese vagrants. 'ln the last two years Japanese farmers have

are to be of old convent Sienna, Alps green, rose Numidian and Pavannazzo, and the mosaics and mural decorations will be wrought by the best craftsmen and artists in the country. As far as possible the work will be of American, preferably St. Louis origin. One of the loveliest features of the: great central body of the church will’ be the altar, of exquisite white marble, overhung by a baldachin, not of silk or tapestry, of which this canopy’ is usually made, but of solid silver ‘filagree, supported on four pillars of delicate tinted onyx. Another beauti ful feature will be the entrance to the crypt, approached by a broad stairway of white marble. 5 For financing the great building am initial fund of $250,000 was left by the late Archbishop Kain, $71,000 has been subscribed by the clergy, and $430,000 more by individual contributors. The archdiocese is engaged in raising another half million for the completion of the superstructure. With the finishing of the building, the archdiocese will have an official capitol. The old cathedral, at Second and Walnut streets, has been little more than a parish church since Archbishop Kain, ten years ago, planned a new cathedral at Jefferson avenue and Locust street, a site which he afterwards abandoned. The old cathedral was dedicated 74 years ago, and was regarded for decades as a notable structure. : + The ceremony incident to the laying of the corner-stone for the old cathedral, for which Bishop Rosati toiled so long and against so many discouragements, was the greatest thing of its nature that the young St. Louils had experienced. It took place on the Ist of August, 1831, and in less than three years the church was completed and almost paid for. Even in its present grimy condition, lost among the time-eaten buildings of the river:section of the city, it is still a wonderful structure, with its stately doric columns and its air of quiet grandeur. Long ago it was abondoned by the archbishop, for whom the small chapel at Newstead and Maryland avenues was erected, on the corner of the spacious lot purchased for the grand €W cathedral; but the part it played in. the early religious: life of the city will never be forgotten, cannot be underestimated.

Long before even this early church was called into. being there was a great Catholic church in St. Louis, great because of its importance in the community. It was the little structure built of upright posts which occupied the middle of the block between Main and Second streets and surrounded by the best of the early French families that settled St. Louis. Here Father Bernard de Limpoch, following the work of Father Valentin, began the struggle for the erection of a church compatible with the wealth and population of St. Louis. The result was the little wooden building that was dedicated in 1776 and remained standing until 1820. That same struggle was taken up by Bishop Rosati when the city had outgrown all its churches, and again by his grace Archbishop Glennon, when he realized that St. Louis ought to be the seat of a really magnificent cathedral. That the city will ever outgrow this superb bui}ding that is about to come into being it is difficult to believe. For centuries to come it will more than likely remain a unique and wonderful example of eccelsiastical architecture, of which any city might well be proud.

Pumps Better Than Dams. A Mahamgras newspaper calls attention to a test of the pumping of water in the Rio Grande region for irrigation compared to the older method of constructing dams. A 36-inch pump with 36,000 gallons capacity on a 24-foot lift, was operated at a fuel cost of 6215 cents an hour., Whatever irrigation is being attempted on the Mexican side is being done through the pumping system, and there is every prospect that more and more of it will be attempted by the owners of land along the river.

been coming over to this country and a great many of them have come to (Golorado. There are, lam told, more than 35,000 acres in Colorado cultivated by Japanese. One owns 4 farm of 2,600 acres near Sterling and others own lands varying from a few acres up to 1,000 acres. These farmers paid their own way from Japan; that is, they were not brought over by any company or colonization agent. “This immigration, however, as is all immigration, is retarded now ‘by the Japanese government and extreme care is exercised in my country in issuing passports.” : Motor Excursions Common, It is a not unusual sight in England to see a motor 'bus belonging to one city running with a load of excursionists around the streets of another town 20 or 30 miles distant.

A CHRISTMAS LESSON

‘ LESSON TEXT.—Luke 2:8-20.. Memory' verses, 2-14. § { GOLDEN TEXT.—“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”— Luke 2-11. Comment and Suggestive Thought. 1 Jesus was born in the stable of an inn, or khan, at Bethlehem, six miles - south of Jerusalem. . } | He was born probably about four years before our Christian era, December, B. C. 5, i. e, if on December 25, only one week more than four years. But it is sufficiently accurate and best to count in accordance with the dates used in all our histories and almanacs, at the beginning of the year 1 A. D, jor 1908 years ago. ‘ Note—l. There was something specially fitting in Bethlehem as his birth_place, because it was the city of David, { his royal ancestor. | | 2. This was in accordance with | prophecy (Miec. 5:2). ‘ | 3. Note the Divine Providence in | thus guiding Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem at this time by a decree beyond | their control, and without human planning. - : 0 4. Jesus came to earth in the cir- | cumstances best fitting him to be the !Saviour of man. He began his life . in a humble way and was brought up i in humble life and honest toil, that he ymight be the friend of all men, but | especially of the poor and suffering. ‘ 5. If he was born in December, as | is probable, the time was symbolical, ! since the 25th of December comes then the longest night of the year gives way, and the days begin to ? lengthen. | This is the greatest gift ever given | to this world. ; . ' From his glorious home he came to | this world, as the highest expression ~of God's love, to take upon himself I our human nature for the salvation of | the world from sin to holiness and | heaven. ’ ‘ } The divine nature of Christ is not a ! mere theory, far away from human | life, but is a fact essential to one who | would reveal God to men, and be the | Saviour of men. He speaks to us from | personal knowledge of God, of his love, | his care, his readiness to forgive, his | nearness to men, his fatherhood. He | tells us about heaven and immortal }life from his own experience. Only | the Son of God could possibly make | atonement of sin. Only he could have ' power to save us at all times and in | all places, to be our ever-present ! friend, our perfect example, our in- | fallible guide. ! | - Christmas Giving.—The natural re- | sponse to this great gift from God, is i for us to make gifts of love to others, | of help to those whom Jesus came to | help, | Christmas giving is a right expres:sion of this spirit. Often imperfect, | often too narrow, often such that the | thought dwells more on the receiving ; than the giving; yet there is no cele- | bration of any holiday that is so ap- | propriate as this of giving, in the cele- | bration of the birth of Jesus. l All can give. There is no one so | poor, so- unworthy, so feeble or lonely, ‘ but there is something he can give to | express God’s will to men, deeds of kindness, expressions of sympathy, I words of love and cheer and hope and | courage. Like the apostles, each must | act on Peter’s word: *“Such as I have | give I' to thee.” | The Magnificat of Mary.—Luke 1: 46-56. “His mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.” i i :

The Benedictus of Zacharias.—Luke 1:68-79. “To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” . - The Gloria in Excelsis of the Angels. —Luke 2:14. ‘*“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” “Glory to God.” Glory is the outward expression, the outshining of greatness and goodness. When God showed his glory to Moses on the mount, it was God’s goodness that shone upon him. For the coming of Jesus was the highest expression of God’s glory, the fullness of his nature, his love, his goodness, which passed before Mosesg when he asked to see God’s glory. ‘The phrase expresses both the fact and the desire that all should recognize God’s glory. “In .the highest.” (1) In the highest st:aﬁm. Only the most exquisite music and song are worthy to express this theme. (2) In the highest heavens. The glory shines and the praise sounds to the highest heavens. It is the noblest song and the brightest glory even there. (3) In the highest degree. The plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, so infinitely wise, so infinitely loving, manifests God’'s glory more than all the wonders of creation, “when all the sons of God shouted for joy.” For the souls of the saved shall “shine as the Jrightness of the firmament.” : ‘The coming of Jesus meant “peace on earth,” including all welfare, blessing. love, . -

“Good will toward men” . The expression of'God’s desire to bless men, to forgive them, to fit them for the best life on earth. ;

The Chicago Training School for City, Home and Foreign Missions broke ground on Thanksgiving day for a new chapel to cost $60,000, the gift of N. W. Harris, Chicago. The Training School has also just dedicated the Mary Lemar Kinnear Monnett Memorial Hall, costing $36,000. ; Burying Cables in River Bed. It seems odd that telegraph and telephone companies should be forced to bury their cables in the bed of a large river, yet this became necessary in places along the Ohio during the recent drought. ' The river was so low that boys could and did play ball in the very channel bed, and the exposure left the telephone cables entirely unprotected. ‘To avold a repetition of the incident, therefore, the companies have dug trenches in the river bed, in which the cables have been securely covered.— Marine Journal. g

In addition to the Palma match for the military long range championship of the world, which was won in 1907 by the American team at Ottawa, Canada, there will be an individual competition at 1,000 yards; a team match at 300 meters; an individual competition at 300 meters and arevolver team competition at §0 yards.

The group picture shown herewith is that of the American Palma Trophy team, which includes the crack shots of America and the world. Capt. Casey of the Delaware National Guard is properly termed the “best long range shot in the world.” The same might be said of Lieut. Mumma. Dr. Hudson is considered the most scientific rifie shot in the country and is an authority on rifle shooting and expert in explosives. Col. Tewes a& considered the crack shot of New Jersey, and J. W. Hessian, whose picture is shown above, was in the money, in about fifteen matches during the’ Olympic games this year.

“What between my desire to be polite and my fear of beggars,” said Mr. Quillback to a New York Sun man, “I am sometimes up a tree. “1 don’t want to walk rudely past somebody who would only want to know the way somewhere and I don't want to be held up too often by men who haven’t had anything to eat for a week or ten days and who are not accustomed to beg, but would just like the price of a cup of coffee, and so I ‘have to watch out when I see people - edging toward me and decide quickly.

The value of the count will be: Bullseye, 5; .inner, 4; ‘“Magpie,” 3; outers, 2. Tpere will be 15 shots per man at each distance, without artificial rest, with two sighting shots additional. Each competing nation will designate one delegate to a committeq whose duty it will be to settle definitely and without recourse, any question which may arise not covered by the rules of the match. The members of this committeg will be nominated by the team captains, and the committee will elect its own chairman, who shall have a casting vote in addition to his vote as a member. * Vis- | iting teams will be furnished with tents, cots, mattresses, blankets and | camp equipage free, . together with

The 19 countries and colonies invited are: England, Canada, Australia, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, Mexico, Argentine Republic, Brazil, Spain, Belgium and Japan. e Some of these will also receive invitations from the National Rifle association of America direct through their National Rifle associations, such as England, Canada, Australia, France, Switzerland, Italy and the Argentine Republic. It is probably too much to expect that all these countries will be represented, but it is believed there will be more teams representing different nations than ever before shot on American soil. :
