an attache of the Consulate said:
There is no Red Cross hospital in
Chemulpo, and the men have undoubt-

I presume these men are among those

pie, ask your sympathy, because have

am sure. Let US have in heart and
mind the accomplishment of this one
| thing having always before us the
glory of God and the uplifting of man.
| Let the ideal before US be a cathedral
around which shall center a large and
varied work. Let US have the ideal of
| a cathedral where men of different
temperaments and views may find ser
vices suitable to their needs in the
worship of God within the wide range
of law and accepted Anglican custom.
A cathedral which shall represent the
| whole church and no party of it. A
church which because loyal loving souls
worship here shall attract men with
, the compelling and unanswerable argu-
n1ent of Holy lives. For the ideal is not
only structure of stone, but a living
temple, in which the stones are souls,
souls cemented in the building by the
grace of God and who feel in the con-
tact of stone with stone the strength
which comes from Fellowship in the
one body, and who feel the firmness
and eternal dura bility of the Great
Corner Stone and the Apostolic founda-
tions. With this ideal by Gods help
good works will more and more abound
both in training and holding the bap-
tized and in winning those who are
wandering from God.
And now to the practical part at pres
ent before us. 1t is proposed to build
as soon as we have the money in
sight, two additional bays to the nave,
l. e. making it longer by two additional
arches. After a years careful enquiry
and many consultations it is found that
this can be accomplished as it is esti-
mated for about $22, 100000 and it is
hoped that this will include the ventila-
ton of the whole structure.
Now is the time to begin. / ask YOU
dear friends, during Lent to pray for
this. If you pray Alright you will work
and make sacrifices. Let US all look
forward to a great united offering on
Easter Day. You will receive soon by
mail a letter. a suggested prayer, and
a pledge which latter viii read: I
hope to be able to give" Read all
the papers carefully. Enter into the
spirit of this, our enterprise. If any of
you know people who are not now resi-
dent here but who will be interested
write to them and enclose copies of the
letter and pledge which you can obtain
of any of the clergy. 1 want your CO.
operation that every one may be doing
something to the end which we all have
at heart
1 know that money is not as plentiful
as it has been at times here in the
past. But we must not stop because
of that. Let this Lent be time of real
sacrifice; enter into the spirit of the
season. Deny yourself for the object
which is so dear to all of us, and then
see if in the doing and in the result,
God will not open the windows of
heaven and pour His blessings upon us.

THEY LIKED ENGLISH POETRY.

1t may not be generally known that
both the King of Italy and his spouse
are passionate admirers of English
poetry. Among thoughtful Italians,
England's native songsters have al
ways found a stronger following than
in France, or even in the FatherIand.
Shakespeare, Byron and Shelley are
household words with some of the
Italian royalties. They never took
very much to Browning, despite "Aso-
lando' and ''Pippa Passes" Some of
the patriots of the mid-century turned
to the same sources for their inspira
ton. Garibaldi read Shakespeare in
prison, and Mazzini chose Byron for his
consolation when he also was in the
same predicament.
