Stone Brought from Holy Land.
The foundation stone, which has been |
imbedded in a large block Of American 1
granite, is a stone brought over especially /
for this use from the Holy Land, where it /
was obtained from the field adjoining the /
Church Of the Holy Nativity at Bethle- /
hem. On the foundation stone is in
scribed the text, THE Word was made
flesh. and dwelt among us" (St. John.
iI4)
From an ecclesiastical standpoint, the
first stone of the cathedral is the stone
altar. commonly called the Jerusalem
Altar" always used in the only service
Of public worship ordained by Christ
Himself-the holy communion. The most
fitting place, therefore, for the foundation
stone is beneath the Jerusalem altar.
Owing to the sloping ground at that
point in the plan, there will be a we'll
lighted crypt in this part Of the cathe-
dral, beneath the floor level Of the altar.
and the foundation stone will be the first
OF the substructure which will support
the altar. 1t will be laid beneath the
floor Of the crypt; consequently it will \
not be visible after the completion of the 4
cathedral.
In the crypt will be the Bethlehem Il
Chapel Of the Holy Nativity, in which, Il
during the building OF the cathedral. n
Will be held a daily midday service of II
prayer. asking that the workmen may l
be shielded from harm In their labors, II
and blessed in their homes and callings. H
Service Especially Arranged.
The service at the laying Of the foun-
dalton stone has been arranged for that
particular occasion, and into it viii be
brought "reminiscences of all the chief
services heretofore held at Mount Saint
Alban. The opening Of the services will
be announced by the music of trumpets
sounding d motif from Mendelssohn's
Hymn OF Praise of which the words
are: "AH men. all things. all that hath
life and breath, sing to the Lord Hal
