Quarterly Publication of Episcopal Diocese of Ari- zona Contains Story of Progress on Cathedral House

l
 l The Arizona Record, the officiaI quarterly journal of the Episcopal diocese of Arizona, has just been 1 issued for the current period. It 1 presents several very interesting 1 features, not the least of which is
 brief summary of the work in l the several parishes
 Of particular and timely interest 1 is short article dealing with the 1 progress of the construction of the Cathedral home on North First avenue. Tie Record says:
 During the summer, the cathedral house, which will serve as the par ish house and chapel for Trinity church, has made rapid advance ment in building, and it is hoped that it may be occupied about De l'cember l. The house has been con siderahlY enlarged from the original plans. On the first floor. in ad-
 dition to q commOdious entrance hall, is a large auditorium to be used
 temporarily for church services and
 permanently for the Sunday school
 for lectures. for social and other
 purposes. on the second floor are
 q kitchen and large room for parish
 organizations, a choir room and dio-
 cesan room, where will be held
 meetings of the Council of Advice.
 the trustees of St. Luke's Home. etc.
 There are also two studies for ahe
 bishop and clergy on this floor The
 building material is of tufa stone,
 cream colored, with a slight tinge
 ot pink running through it. similar
 to that used in the construction ot
 the state capitol. It is erected on
 the north side Of the lot on Roosc-
 welt street facing First Avenue
 These lots were bought one year ago for about 5000. The house is
 over 100 feet in length and is cost ing more than we first contemplated on account of the increase in size
 but Ii seemed wiser to do this now
 than to put up an inadequate build
 ing which could not be enlarged
 We ought to have 1000 fer the fur nIshing and it would gladden. the htarts of us all If some one would provide this amount. Perhaps some one will offer to give the chairs for the auditorium and others to furnish i one of the rooms with tables, chairs, | desks, etc. if no one comes forward | to do the entire furnishing. It will l be a red letter day when we can ] leave the old church and parish | house, so small and inadequate as 1 well as shabby in appearance. It 1 will be a still greater day when we l can begin work on the cathedral 1 and bishops house. Messrs. Cool l udge X Shattuck of Boston are the i architects. and V. c. WallingIord | of Phoenix supervising architect.
 During the Bishops visit to the | east this summer, he preached every Sunday, and although the contribu- tions for our work were less than in former years, largely owing to the fact that large gifts have been sent to Europe for those suffering through the effects of the great war, yet some new friends have come forward and interest has been shown
 in our work. We have been especial
 v fortunate in adding two CT three new men to our clergy list.
 An interesting Sunday was spent 1t St Paurs school, Concord, New where the bishop in june He also gave the orening sermon before the confer ence of Church Workers of New ] ! 5hurch, Geneva, New York, on Sun lay morning, July 1. and in the af- ernoon he spoke on Arizona at an open air meeting on the grounds Of Hobart College. The conference was , most inspiring one and the classes 1 lrranged for those interested in re- igious education social service and missions most helpful
