GREAT SYMBOL OF FAITH
One of the wonders of the New World is the gigantic statue of Christ in the Andes, a symbol of international concord between Chile and Argentina. To rival this an immense statue of Jesus, which will be one of the most striking landmarks in the world, is to be erected on a site overlooking Kingstown Harbour, Dublin. It is to cost £25,000. This great symbol of faith will tower a hundred feet above the harbour, and be flood-lighted at night so that it will bo visible eight miles out at sea. Grey grhnite has been chosen for the statue, and a 30-foot high figure of the Saviour will stand on a column 70ft. high.
