Glastonbury Cathedra.
The Glastonbury Cathedra is constructed
Of stones taken from Glastonbury Abbey,
in Somersetshire, England, which place is
regarded as the cradle Of British Christi
anity. Mr.. Stanley Austin, the donor of
the historic stones, requested they be FORM
ed into a bishops chair and remain as a
witness to the continuity of the church
The stones themselves have the charac-
teristic carving of Glastonbury and have
been taken from that part of the ruins
which We're erected about TIE late Norman
period of English architecture, that is in
the twelfth century. They form the lower
part of the chair the seat or cathedra
proper, and the two pillars that rise from
the arms on either side. The Inscription on
the panel forming the back of the chair ap-
propriately sets forth the terms of the
Chicago Lambeth quadrlateral Holy
Scripture and Apostolic Greed, Holy Sacra-
ment and Apostolic Order Above the old
Glastonbury pillars on each side of the
chair rises bishops pastoral staff, and in
the center above the panel the bishops
mitre. The panel Immediately above the
seat of the chair bears silent witness to the
continuity of the churehfin the inscription
