Twill Cost a Million.
Mr.. Masqueray has dealt only in di-
I mehsion Z figures in a. his astateme emit.
From the character of the designs
given herewith, lit. is seen that the ex-
pense of the completion and furnishing
Of the church. cannot fall far.short Of
ST ,000 900. When families. begin to
give memorial windows in theschurch,s
or memorial organ, affairs, and other
tributes to the memory of the depart
ed, all of which will serve as part Of
the furnishing of the magnificent eathe-
dral. the value of the property Will fbe
constantly increased until the figure
Will pass even beyond the largest .ex-
pectations Of the devoted communi-
cants, of, the district
The cost of the cathedral is set5at
about s. $4,000 To say the church
would cost a million would possibly
prove disheartening to less energetic
and optimistic men than those SWho
make up the building committees it is
! encouraging, however, to relate theafact
That already the committee has $685., 900
IN sight and actual construction is not
to- begin until next spring. WithHthe
money which the committee holds and
the: real estate owned by the church,
which is to be sold, the figure issa fea-
| sonable estimate of the assets, cash and
convertible on hand. ~ -
When 1T was. decided to build a cath
edral%ln st. Paul. Hennepin county was
released from assessment for it. That
| makes the contributions, which gSthe
churches Of the county. will offer mo
heavy burden on any one church s.
When, 1T was proposed; to build a fine
Church sgas;; the inneapolis seat of The
bish or archbishop. Of zthe. diocese,
thu ultra cohseTVative element which
may be5found in every parish predicted
that if the church cost 100000 it
would take the people twenty-five years
to .paNsit, off. Yet something like $780,
600 is OH hand even before start is
| made. The parishioners were not given
credit for the hope that was within
then when it was decided TO cut all
| bridges and make for tremendous edi-
| fee which should be a credit to the.
city as we'll rs to the parish itself.
The plan for construction of a pro-
| cathedral began in the spring of 1905.
A general committee Of 100 was formed
| to canvass. the opin:-1 of the conserva-
tive people as to the feasibility Of the
PLAN. Tt. was decided to build. Com
situations and conferences have been
| held without number, the plan gradu-
ally reaching the present partially de-
veloped state.
! Now that the design Of the structure
has teen accepted and the courage of
the people renewed by the force of
their sown progress, and thru the spirit
Of energy Inspired by the archbishop,
the funds will continue to roll in. with
out cessation, it ishoped. Either l.. S.
Donaldson, the treasurer, or F. E. Muir
ply, the secretary of the pro-eathedral
building society, may be made the reci-
lpients of the contributions.
