prospect, but the movement met with
great favor.
The plans prepared for Bishop Scan
Ian in Chicago called for a plain
structure, 1S0x75, with spire 200 feet
high, and the whole to cost 100000:
but so quick and hearty was the re-
Spouse among the wealthy Catholics
of the city that these old plans were
discarded as unsuitable, and c. Nj.
Neuhausen was secured to prepare new
plans, and the magnificent structure
represented in the accompanying cut is
the result.
Shortly after the announcement in
The Herald that Bishop Seaman would
begin the building of new cathedral,
Mrs. Mary Judge came forward with
subscription of $4,000 TO help along the
work. A great impulse was given the
enterprise by this generous gift, and
before many days passed Mrs. A. H.
Tarbet sent in a certified check for
$40, 200, with the assurance that If more
were needed she. would double her gift
This inspired others to give, and il was
not long until the best part of the first
100000 was pledged in sums Of $4,000.

lowing the bishops residence was built
on portion of this lot, at a cost of
$4,000. The story of the new St. AIMS
Orphanage and the generosity of Mrs.
Thomas Kearns in giving $50. 600 for
that purpose is we'll remembered
Through the influence of Archbishop
Riordan, Utah was made a vicariate
apostolic in 1886. and in September of
that year Father Seaman was made a
bishop. The following year he visited
San Francisco and was cOnsecrated
there in st. Mary's cathedral It is
worthy of note that the first reception
rendered to the Most Rev. P. W. Rior-
dan after his elevation to the position
of archbishop in 1883 was in Salt Lake
City. when he was on his way from
Chicago to his new home in San Fran
cisco. He was accompanied on that
trip by number of high church digni-
taries. The whole party stopped in
Salt Lake and il is said that a strong
attachment sprung up at that time be-
tween the new archbishop and Bishop
Seaman, an attachment that has grown
stronger with each passing year.

ernments were founded in the caste or
privilege, and worked as a leavent in
society until at last 1t bore fruit in con-
stitutional governments deriving their
powers from the consent of the gov
ernedl To that idea the great historic
church has ever been loyal, while she
can live under every form of govern
ment, yet in every age, the soil most
congenial to her growth and develop
ment is the hearts Of the common peo-
pie: and because she is the church Of
the people, and because of the demo-
cratic tendency of her teaching and
discipline, she found an expansion in
the new world unparalleled in her his
tory of 1900 years.
Here she is with her old teaching,
with her principles of religious life, in
the midst of this busy, enterprising
people, not as a mere antique, not as
an heirloom from the past. not as a
stone from ancient buildings long fall
en- into ruin. but church of power, as
strong, as vigorous, as full of life and
of promise as on that great Pentecost
morning when she came down from the
upper chamber of Jerusalem and began
her conquest of the world.
Appeals to Every Glass.
Therefore the church will appeal to
every class in the community. The
home of God, the house of prayer. the
temple Of worship, it will symbolic the
full teaching of the religion of Christ.
1t will stand for and preach that there
is one God, one father If all, and that
all are his children, and thus bind to-
gether in a common unity the diverse
elements of which this society is COM
posed.
Build, therefore, its walls. let stone

its tower the golden cross will look
down upon this city with its happy
homes of domestic peace and joy, its
temples of learning, its narts OF COM

fertile and smiling valley teeming with
golden harvests.

The new cathedral, which is TO be
known as st. Mary Magdalen, will,
when completed, be one of the finest
church buildings on the western half
of the continent. II will be an Orna-
ment to the city, and standing as it
does on such high ground, it will COM
mand magnificent view of the city
and the valley below, a view that can
never be INSTRUCTED.
The history of this building up to
this time is interesting. 1t is the result
of no sudden inspiration, but of an
idea that has existed in the brain of
Bishop Seaman for many years. On
the 21st of May last year The Herald
published the picture of a cathedral
that the bishop had made in Chicago
five years before. Accompanying this
was a statement from Bishop Seaman
to the effect that he would begin work
on the building without delay. This
statement seemed to electrify the Cath
Ollie people of this community. 1t was
the first intimation that most of them
had that anything of the kind was in

manesque style of the eleventh century.
1t viii be situated on the corner of
Brigham and b streets, facing south.
The dimensions of the main building
will be 100 feet deep, 103 feet wide on
Brigham, and the spires will be 22O
feet above the pavement. The edifice
will be approached by a double row
of fine granite steps and terraces from
the Brigham street pavement.
The SuperStructure Will be OF gray
stone, and the spires will be surmount-
ed with gilded crosses that will be seen
for many miles down the valley. The
main floor Of the cathedral will have
seating capacity of 1900, and in addi-
ton to this there will be a fine balcony
and choir loft. The finish of the in
terror will be in perfect keeping with
the grandeur of the exterior.
The cost Of the structure is still un-
settled. Bishop Scanlan's original idea
was for building to cost 100000. but
the one planned will cost much more.
and may run to double that amount
The final cost will depend upon the in
terror decorations, and these in turn
will depend upon the liberality of the
members of the church.

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.
Catholicism introduced INTO Utah by
Father Kelly in 1866.

Catholicism introduced INTO Utah by
Father Kelly in 1866.
The Catholic church was established
in Utah in 1866, when Father Kelly, at
the request of his bishop. the Ri. Rev.
Eugene O'Connen of Marysville, Cal,
first visited Salt Lake. On the occasion
Of his second visit he bought the lot on
which the old cathedral now stands. In
1871 the Rev. Father Walsh was placed
in charge of the church here, and on
Nov. 2S Of that year the old cathedral
was dedicated. 1t had cost $4,000, and
still stands as monument to the zeal
and energy of those pioneers of the ear
" DAYS
Father Walsh was succeeded by the
Rev. Father Lawrence Seaman, who
arrived in Salt Lake Aug. IA, 1913, COM
ing from Petaluma. Cal. The record Of
this mans work in this city since his
arrival is plain to be seen. He came
when there was but one church build
ing IN the territory and that one was
$4,000 in debt. In short time that debt
was wiped out; in two years after his
arrival ST. Mary's academy was built.
Without delay steps were taken to
found a hospital. In 1881 a ten-acre lot
was bought, and the next year Holy
Cross was built. Soon after All Hal
lows college was built at a cost OF $780,
GOO. In 1883 the site of the old ST. AIMS
Orphanage was bought at cost OF
1000, and two years later the site for
the new cathedral on Brigham street
