In his sermon at s.. Thomas Church
yesterday. Rev C. Ernest Smith. rector.
paid tribute to the late Bishop Henry
Yates Batteries, laying much stress on
the Cathedral of SIS. Peter and Paul,
which editice had been projected by the
deceased prelate.
Such palace as they Row have at
York; SUCH too. as they had in Jerusa-
lem. our late bishop hoped for on Mount
ST. Alban- Had his life been spared but
a very few years longer. he would have
undoubtedly seen the last stone laid on
its towers, FOR he had marvellous power
Of achievement Witness what he has
bequeathed TO us-a cathedral site second
TO meme in the world-and though costing
more than a quarter Of million Of dol
lars, is fully paid for"
The Bishops Personality.
The personality Of the late bishop and
the masterful ideas laid down by him
in conducting his diocese were gone into
and shown by the rector to reveal the ad-
mirable traits OF character OF Bishop
Satterlee
Besides the schools and chapel found
ed by our beloved bishop and bequeathed
to us he has also left US the corner stone
OF the vast cathedral itself already so
planned that It awaits but the gathering
Of the peoples offerings and the word 10

ten years ago % this whole question Of a
cathedral IS gone, and they who then were
minded 20 hinder are changed into en-
thuslastic workers"
Continuing. Or. Smith said: but now
that We can no more be inspired BY the
magic influence Of his presence. can
We carry on successfully 10 the end the
work Bishop Satterlee began? Now We
are as profoundly convinced as he was OF
the necessity for a cathedral With
many, however Il Is not quite clear what
a cathedral is or what part II Is designed

wonder at this The cathedral Is a new
institution among US.
Now to-day the nearest cathedral 10
US that OF Albany. is-4O0 miles avav and
there is no other within our border-now
that is a cathedral indeed"
GI-es Reason for Edihce.
After advancing reasons why the rlan
originated and projected by Bishop sat
terlee for the erection OF cathedral
should be carried out, Rev. Mr.. Smith
concluded:
This is the National Capital. and 10

the church system must be at It's best.
That Cathedral on Mount st. AIban can
be built In five years with S5.009O00 Let

SAID the supply OF meerschaum is becom-
ing low and that the manufacturers ex-

This scarcity IS said TO be caused partly
by failure of the mines in Asia Minor to

because American and English agents

The Necessity of Work.

! cannot regard work as the high.
est necessity Of man. The noble man
is he who is idle. who cherishes, nour-
ishes and develops himself; thus 90
the gods live, and man is the god Of
creation. This is my heresy. Ihave
confessed II. But in the chair OF Goa
fession there sits another being. and
he is really right when he says: Wei,
my child, to do nothing, merely to be
here-that would be the worthiest and
sublimest. Very fine! But as no
man can be here without another
working for him-come here, stand on
this point-then each must also work.
None is here merely for the sake OF
being, nor others merely for the sake
of neutrality-suspicious.

COMMON LOT OF ALL MANKIND
Who 10 There Among us Who Can
Escape from Worry7

Calmness and serenity are recon-
mended for almost everything in these
days. Horace Fletcher considers
these qualities even more important
than chewing, in the attainment Of
health. The beauty doctors say that
no cosmetics will avail to prevent
wrinkles and preserve youth without
calmness and serenity, and they are
said to be the most potent of all
charms In her who would be pleasing
to the opposite sex. BE serene,
sweet maid" says the authorities;
"let who will be vivacious."
It all sounds very simple, but in
order to follow such advice It would
be necessary to be a hermit, and then
what would be the use Of being well
or beautiful or attractive? How can
anyone be serene who plays golf, OF
has cantankerous relatives, who wants
to argue about woman suffrage or re
ligion, or who has not sure and Ger
tain and adequate income? Man thai
is born of woman is born to worry, al
the sparks fly upward, and 1t is only
adding irritation to his other woei
to tell him that all good things ma,
be his IL he will only be serene.

Rctrlbutlon,

All infractions Of love and equity in
our social relations are speedily pun
ished. They are punished by fear.
Whilst I stand in simple relations to
my fellow.man, have no displeasure
In meeting him. We meet as water
meets water, or as two currents of air
mix-with perfect diffusion and inter.
probation Of nature. But as soon as
there is any departure from sim
plicity, and attempt at halfness, or
good for me that is not good for him.
MY neighbor feels the wrong; he
shrinks from me as far as have
shrunk from him; his eyes no longer
seek mine; there is war between us !;
there Is hate In him. and fear In me.
