J WELLINGTON’S SHORTCOMING

They see the city quickly awakened to a sense of dignity and greatness in its political, commercial and business life, but they see nothing to suggest the majesty of God in a community tliat is expressing in its buildings the greatness of man, nothing to suggest the permanence and eternity of God in a world that is characterised by change.” He suggested that a cathedral project would be a fitting Centennial eflort.
