ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL

ADDRESS BY VICAR OF ST. MARK'S. A very large congregation attended St. 'Mark's Church last 1 evening,! when the vicar, Rev. C. F. Askew,/ 8.A., took as Ms subject "The New Cathedral." Tho Bisliop of Wellington was present. The vicar preached from the text, "The house that is to be builded for the Lord must be /exceeding- magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries."— 1 Chron., xxii, 5.' There were-many lessons, said the preacher, that emerged from a considera T tion of the text, but he -would confine (himself to this thought: they must always have lofty ideals before them. David was an old man when he uttered the ■words of.the" text;'buf'age had not dried ■|up his enthusiasm, as it did in so many cases; he was filled, with a great and Jofty idea. Nothing was too good, nothing •was too splendid for God. The synod had Idecided to proceed, with the building of ■a cathedral for the dioceso as a niemor- ■ Sal and thank-offering, and tho preacher •was taking up tho work ■of honorary ' organising secretary for the scheme. The Sdeal set before the diocese was contain'"ed in the text. To build worthily was ■ jin instinct of the religions nature in man. To exhibit in 'their ■■ service the highest pattern of Christian worship, lo unite in one great, purpose all that was grandest: and most graceful in architec-" ture, euhlimest and most elevating in music, most solemn and .reverent in .ritual, gravest and-most touching in language: that was tho main idea In the minds of those who built, the stately v-'athedrals that wore the glory of Europe. Surely the time was opportune for linilding a cathedral for the diocese. There -■were hundreds,.nay thousands, of Church members who would count it. as the pni>alcer did. a privilege to take some : definite part in the buildingand give Fome part of the fabric—tower or tranBp.pt, pillar or porch, flrch or window— mr* some smaller, offering still, us a memorial to some dear one, or as a thank-offering either for mercies vouch- ' fcafed or the blessings of peace -when it ' comes. In the magnificent reception of ;'fhp «chomo by the synod: in the splnnVtid list of promisee already totalling over .£21,100; in the selection of the architect (to the sneaker's mind the one man for the position): and in a hundred dify jnrpnt ways the guidance of Got» the Holy Snirit was so unmistakable that ho 1->e-Tieved they were going-to -witness the most remarkable success that the Church 6? file Province of New Zealand had ever iknown.
