| The new cathedral ST Mary Mag
dalen. will be dedicated in September
Bishop Laurence Scanlan says that ev
erything will be in readiness by tina
| time for the conservation of the edi
flee. The bishop is awaiting the ar.
rival of the great organ and the three
altars, and expects to receive then
within two months. 1t will require
another months time to complete the
furnishings, but all will be in readiness
for the dedication by September.
Bishop Scanlan has returned from
Castle Hot Springs, in Arizona, with
er he went at the urgent advce-in-
deed the mandate-of his physician
for the benefit of his health He has
/ been there three months, and he comes
| back to Salt Lake a changed mana
changed man for the better. 1t is un-
deniably fact that Bishop Seaman
was at the extreme limit of reason
able endurance when he left Salt Lake;
that the great work in connection with
the erection of the cathedral, i'm addi-
ton to the multiplicity of his other du-
ties had, in plain terms, worn him out.
Away From 1t All.
II feel like new man." said Bishop
Scanlan last evening. in the course of
a pleasant conversation, and he looked
the part. The lines that worry bring
are no longer in the good bishops
genial face, and his eye twinkles with
greater brightness as he INDUCES in a
sparkle of the humOr that with him is
innate. Il went down there" he con-
tlnued, with a chuckle of satisfaction,
TO isolate myself. and | believe | sue
ceeded pretty well. 1 left all business
cares behind, church affairs as well as
material affairs. l went there to rest.
and l did nothing else The accommo-
dations are excellent. The water is
fine, and the baths are of the first or
der, incidentally, the waters are
grand. The hotel is first-class. and
well, | feel so much better that l can {
say too much for the place There
were large number of eastern people
constantly coming and going, and
there never was lack of company.
The New Cathedral.
'The work on the cathedral is prac-
tically completed as far as it can go.
am now waiting for the arrival of
the organ and the three affairs. We ex-
pect them within two months, and
dIlef -JndI II VIII take approximately
a months time to put everything in
shape for the dedication. which l am
quite sure will be in September
4 think 1t just as well that the ded-
ication should be a little later in the
year than at first suggested. Really.
you know July and August are pretty
warm months, and since l have been
in Arizona, where we have enjoyed 50
in the shade large part of the time.
| am quite well convinced that it is
better to put off the dedication ceremo-
nies a bit.
THE organ, which is being built by
the Kimball people in Chicago at a
cost of about $4,000, will be fine in
strument. The altars are being built
in Italy. at Carrara, the only place in
the world where absolutely pure mar
BILE can be obtained. AS you doubtless
know, they are the gift of Miss Fran
ces O'Meara. There will be the main
altar and one dedicated to st. Joseph
and the other to the Blessed Virgin
Mary
