A beautiful addition to the group of
buildings in the cathedral close is the
bishops house, given in 1918 as a
memorial to Mabel Murray. Inside is
the bishops chapel, the windows of
which are devoted to 20 women who
have contributed to the advancement
Of Christianity, representing each of
the 20 Christian centuries.
The ampitheater, adjacent to the
Peace Cross. is in a declivity in the
hillside which forms a natural audi
torium. The present temporary benches
will seat approximately 1880 people,
all Of whom can hear the preacher
talking in an ordinary tone of voice.
Building of permanent baptistry for
the cathedral has been made possible
by gift of 100000. 1t will contain
the white marble Jordan Fount, from
the center of which rises the figure of
Christ holding in his arms little babe.
A unique feature of this font is that
1t is lined with stones brought from
the Damascus ford of the River Jor-
dan, so that the person standing in the
font for baptism may be standing on
the identical stones upon which the
feet of Jesus may have rested when
he began his ministry.
The entire cost of the cathedral and
the auxiliary buildings has been esti-
mated at approximately $l6,00O,000.

in the screen is the stone chair made
from stones of Glastonbury Abbey, the
church in which King Arthur and
Guinivere were buried. Tradition states
that the cathedral from which these
stones were taken was founded by
Joseph of Arimathea in 43 A. D.
In the Little Sanctuary also is the
HiIda Stone from Whitby Abbey Eng
land, named after the Northumbrian
princess, St. Hilda. This stone contains
temporarily the Book of Remem-
brance," in which are inscribed the
names of the $4,000 persons who have
aided in building the cathedral. To tie
up further the witness of today with
the past there is imbedded In the wall
of the Little Sanctuary a small bit OF
stone known as the Iona Stone, from
Iona Cathedral, founded by st. Colum-
ba in Sos. Here also is the bronze
lecturn cast from an old cannon cap
tured in the Spanish War, which Is
used as an outdoor pulpit.
The Peace Cross, between the Little
Sanctuary and ST. Adams Church, was
raised in 1898 to commemorate the
ending of the war with Spain. Around
this cross for more than 25 years out
door services have been held during
the Summer. These have helped in
the revival OF outdoor preaching all
over the country.
