Psrteg The erection and ensio~ment
II tins cathedral constitutes the most i'm
portant event in the history If the Epis-
copal Church since the arrival Of she first
bishop, nearly n century ago. Its i'm
portance rs an example of thorough
church organization can not Row be cal
culated. 1t starts the cathedral system
into full life in one diocese at once, in
stead of having to attain its growth and
completeness by slow degrees. l find
good many people who think Of
cathedral only rs being the bishops
church, as if that were the only differ
ence between it and the parish church.
OF course even in that view it is impOr-
tant, because it becomes the official cen
ter of the diocese, where the episcopal
acts of the bishop are performed, where
conventions meet, ordinations are held,
s.; in short, being to the diocese what
the capitol is to the State. But that is
q very contracted view Of the matter.
The true cathedral is the center Of church
life in its diocese; it is the point from
which the energy, the vitality, and the
organized effort of the diocese radiate.
1t is the center Of missionary action.
From it laborers can be sent into every
neglected field in the diocesan vineyard.
Instead of new village of sparse COM
munity being left destitute of church
privileges until sufficient number are
associated to organize parish, build
church, and engage q minister, the
cathedral furnishes crop Of priests who
can be sent as occasion requires through
out the diocese. Institutions of learning
naturally cluster around it. The schools

eye of the bishop and in the enjoyment
Of the religious atmosphere Of the
cathedral. Colleges and the theological
institutions of the diocese are necessary

Op can bestow some personal attention

active workers under him in the minis.
try. Of course hospitals, asylums, and
benevolent institutions of all kinds form
one part of the system. The practical
work Of diocese may be summed up in
three divisions, missionary, educational,
and benevolent, and all these can be far
more systematically organized around
cathedral centre than otherwise The aged
clergymen, worn out in parish service,
can usefully employ their latter days in
the instruction Of the young and in re-
ligious exercises for the sick. The sis
terhoods of devoted women can effect.
lively work in schools and hospitals and
homes for the aged and the infant. The
institutions around furnish the choristers
for the services in the Cathedral Church.
Thus all parts Of the comprehensive sys-
tenn work together, reciprocally benefit
ing each other, and forming one complete
organization" Mr.. Prince spoke highly
of the noble benefaction of Mrs. Stewart,
and said that no such magnificent under
taking was ever accomplished by any
private citizen since the world began
