Lottie Levy as soloists. Miss Moral
| Gleason, leader of the choir and church
organist, was assisted by an orchestra
adding volume and effect to the an
thems.
The choir sang first while the pro-
cession was moving across the great
! platform, and during the services rem
! dered the following selections: Mozart S
| Twelfth mass, Gloria" Millard S "Feni
/ Crea tor" Hayden'S TIE Deum" and
! Dressler's "Hallelujah." It was a diff
! ficult programme to sing. but the choir
went through it with ferVor and SEEM
| ingly little effort, their work being eX-
! tremely complimentary to Miss Gleason.
The days ceremonies began at the
foot of the cross erected at the north
end of the large platform. a process
sion had been formed at the residence,
with Father keenan, leading, followed
by $50 children in white, the clergy, Wis
iting bishops and Bishop Scanlan, vest
ed in full pOntipearlS. The sight was
an imposing one as the little ones gath
cred before the symbol and the priests
towering above them went through the
formal service in Latin of blessing the
cross.
This over, they moved around to the
other side, where the corner stone hung
suspended by 4 large derrick a few
feet above the foundation, the children
remaining in the centre of the plat
form.
At this juncture the dark heavens
seemed 10 open and the rain fell in tor
rents for about a quarter of an hour.
Hundreds of umbrellas were brought
into use, but the largest part of the con-
gregation was drenched. The little
children, who had played their pretty
part, were almost entirely without shell
ter. but they braved the storm with the
same firm determination of their elders
to see the great ceremony through.
Surrounding the corner stone by this
time were the following clergymen:
