at is THE MASS THAT MATTERS"

A few years ago Mr.. Birrell, ex-
Secretary for Ireland, wrote as fol-
lows regarding the English Church.:
The English Church, before the.
Reformation, celebrated the Mass
after the same fashion, though not in
identical language (sic), as it has. to-
day been celebrated in Notre Dame of
Paris. Has the English Church, as
Church, after the Reformation, con-
tinued to celebrate the Mass after the
same fashion and with the same inten5
ton as she did before? If yes, to the
ordinary British laymen the quarrel
with the Pope, even the ban of the
Pope and his foreign Cardinals, will
seem but one of those matters to
which it is SO easy to give the slip.
Our quarrel with the Pope is of re-
spectacle antiquity-F'rance, too, had
hers. But if no, the same ordinary
laymen will be puzzled; and, if he has
a leaning to sacraments and the sac
ramental theory of religion and nature
will grow distraught and, it may be,
distracted.
Nobody nowadays, save a handful
of vulgar fanatics, speaks irreverently
of the Mass. If the Incarnation be
indeed the one divine event to which
the whole creation moves, the miracle
of the altar may we'll seem its restful
shadow cast over dry and thirsty
land for the help of man, who's apt
to be discouraged if perpetually told
that everything really important and
interesting happened once for all,
long ago, in chill historic past.
However much there may be that
is repulsive to many minds in eccles-
iastical millinery and matters-and it
is not only the merriment of parsons
that is often found mighty offensive
it is doubtful whether any poor sinful
child of Adam (not being a paid agent
of the Protestant Alliance) ever wit
messed, however, ignorantly, and it
may be with only the languid curios-
ity of a traveller, the Communion SER
vice according to the Roman Catholic
ritual without emotion. 1t is the Mass
that matters; it is the Mass that
makes the difference; SO hard to de-.
fine, so subtle is it, yet so perceptible,

DRY Of Major Powell Dedication Next Spring
Secretary Lane to Conduct Ceremony in
Honor Of Celebrated Scientist Who First Elk
plored Grand Canyon

Lanes purpose is to make the event
one of impressive Importance. If, as is
expected. Congress meantime makes
the Grand Canyon a national park lit
is national monument now, the two
dedications will take place together,
making celebration altogether nota-
BILE in the history of national parks.
This memorial, embodying to a re-
markable degree the essential spirit of
the Grand Canyon. is planned to be-
come the scene of perhaps daily cere-
monials of a most interesting charac-
ter, reviving the spirit and to some ex-
tent the practice Of the ancient re-
ligious forms in vogue among the
original Indian tribes of the neighbor-
hood. Devotional fires will blaze upon
| this altar.
| John Wesley Powell was born at
Mount Morris, N. Y, March "a, 1884,
of English parents. He taught school
in Illinois till the Civil War, which
he entered as private and came out
of as lieutenant colonel. But he was
always called major"
He lost his, right arm at the Battle
of Shiloh.
At the close of the war Maj. Powell
became professor Of geology in the
Illinois Normal University. An habit
j ual wanderer in wild places, he led a
small party of students and natural
| lists in 1857 into the mountains of
Colorado. His incidental exploration
of two small canyons of the Grand
River kindled the purpose which
shaped his after career, namely. to
| explore the canyons of the Grand and
Green Rivers and of the then mysteri-
Gus Colorado River which their union
| forms.
| The following summer he organized
| his expedition, proceeded down the
Grand River and across the mounta1ns
to the White River, where from his
| winetr camp he made extensive studies
of the rivers and their canyons, and
perfected plans for his dangerous pas
sage of the unknown Colorado.
| His great adventure. the passage OF
the Grand Canyon Of the Colorado,
was made in the summer of 1859. I'm
| til then it was unknown. "Yet enough
had been seen to foment rumor," he
wrote in his report to the Smithsonian
Institution, land many wonderful
stories have been told in the hunters
cabin and prospector's camp. Stories
were related of parties entering the
gorge in boats and being carried down
| with fearful velocity into whirlpools
| where all were overwhelmed in the
abyss Of waters; others, Of under
| ground passages for the great river,
into which boats had passed never to
be seen again. 1t was currently be-
lieved that the river was lost under
the rocks for several hundred miles
| There were other accounts of great
falls, whose roaring music could be
heard on the distant mountain sum-
| mitS.''
Into the Great Unknown.
The start into "the Great Unknown
was made on August Is. The party.
consisting of 10 men in four boats, had
been afioat since their start from
Green River City on May "a. Two of
the boats were decked, forming water
tight compartments.

Is made today that the Department OF
the Interior has completed, on the rim
Of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, a
memorial to Maj. John Weslay Powell,
the intrepid pioneer and celebrated
scientist who first explored the Grand
Canyon. The memorial is an altar
decorated in Indian imagery and sup
porting bronze tablet, resting upon a
pyramidal base of rough-hewn stone.
Fifteen steps lead from the west up to
the altar floor, from which one may
gaze into the very heart of the glowing
mile-deep canyon. 1t is a structure
personality Of the man and of the III
tanic chasm which it overlooks.
The spot chosen for the memorial is
Sentinel Point promontory south of
the railway station, which commands
a particularly fine view of the Granite
Gorge and Of the river. whose unknown
terrors of whirlpool and cataract the
Powell party braved in small open
boats. The structure. which is built
of weathered limestone from the neigh
borhood, has a rectangular base Il by
IS feet. The altar carries ON its east
side medallion portrait of Maj. Pow
ell in bronze bas-relief BY Leila Usher
and eths folio .se- j..
Erected by the Congress of the
United States to Maj. John Wesley
Powell, first explorer of the Grand
Canyon, who descended the river with
his party in rowboats, traversing the
gorge beneath this point August II,
1869, and again September l. 1872"
The Dedication Ceremonies.
The general effect is unobtrusive,
natural, and appropriate. A few
small. gnarled trees grow close by
but do not obstruct the view. The
structure stands back from the edge
sufficiently to permit visitors in con-
siderable numbers to group themselves
in front.
The memorial which Secretary Lane
has now realized was planned at the
International Geological Congress OF
1904 in recognition of Maj. Powelis
DISTINGUISHED services as Director of
the United States Geological Survey.
In March, 1909, Congress appropri-
ated' $4,000 for the purpose, lin recog-
milton of his distinguished public SER
vices as a soldier, explorer. and ad-
ministrator of Government scientific
work" DR.. Holmes chose the site.
The original purpose was to make
the memorial Roman chair facing the
canyon. Last spring Secretary Lane
substituted an altar for the chair. and
Mark Daniels, then. general superin-
tendent and landscape engineer OF
National Parks, designed the structure
as it stands today.
1t was then late in July and Mr..
Walter Ward, engineer of the Recla-
ma ton Service, had difficult task be-
fore him to find and hew the rock and
build the structure within the slender
appropriation. The Riverside Portland
Cement Co. helped by donating half
the cement. ,..
This memorial, so expressive of the
spirit and character of the man whose
life work it celebrates and SO admir-
ably located, will be formally dedi-
Gated early next summer. Secretary

that none OF the contractors would

No recognition OF the union was

this as one OF their demands at first,
