The erection on the cathedral site of the
peace cross in 1888, around which open-air
services are held, and the building of the
little chapel and entrance to the cathedral

Inscriptions from holy scripture:
.'Now is Christ risen from the dead and
become the first fruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death by man came
also the resurrection of the dead. For as
in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all
be made alive
Seeing. then. that We have a great high
priest that is passed unto the heavens,
Jesus the Son of Gsd. let-us hold fast our
profession. Wherefore He is able also to
save them to the uttermOst that come unto
God by Him seeing. He ever liveth to
make intereession for them
Il am He that liveth and was dead. and
behold am alive for evermOre. Amen.
ITO whom coming, as unto a living
stone. disallowed indeed Of men. but chosen
of God and precious. Ye also, as lively
stones. are built up a spiritual house. an
holy priesthood 70 offer up spiritual sac
rifces acceptable to God by Jesus Christ
Unto You. therefore. which believe, he Is
precious. but unto them which be disobe-
dent. the stone which the builders disal-
lowed the same is made the head of the

And their eyes were opened, and they knew
Him: and He vanished out of their sight.
And they rose up the same hour. and re-
turned To Jerusalem, and found the eleven
gathered together. saying the Lord is risen
indeed and hath appeared to Simon. And
they told Him what things were done in
the way, and how He was known to them
in breaking of breaG.
"Now. therefore ys are no more strangers
and foreigners but feiiOw-citiZenS with the
saints and of the household of God: and
y
ties and Prophets. Jesus Christ himself be-
ing the chief corner stone; in whom all
the building ftly framed together groweth
into an holy temple In the Lord For the
sepulchre was night at hand
On the north end: And when they were
come to the place which is called Calvary.
there they Crucifed Him and the male
