The clock in this tower is the work oil
Schwilger, who made the celebrated
astronomical one at StraSburg.
Magnificent Stained-glaSS windows OF
many different dates adorn the interior,
a number of them after the designs OF
the celebrated Albrecht Durer. Two OF
them we're given by the guilds Of the

symbols.
The side altars are covered with
quaint old wood carvings and the capt.

fantastic creations Of the exuberant
medieval imagination.
There are beautiful pictures, some OF
them by Holbein the younger. The
specimens of the woodcarving, metal

numerous to be even limited at in any
detail. Most of the old counts and

THE cathedral in Freiburg is mag
nificent edifice, universally ad-
mired for the symmetry and grandeur
Of its proportions and the tastefulness
of its decorations. It looms high above
the city, all the rest of whose buildings
seem to cluster around its mighty feet
like brood of chickens under the pro-
tecting wing of their old mother hen.
The town of Freiburg grew up In the
latter part of the eleventh century in
the vicinity of a hunting seat of the
counts of Zahringen. Count Berthold
built chapel here dedicated to st.
Peter and, in 1922, Conrad III began
the erection of the present cathedral to
take it's place. In 1146 it was so far ad-
vanced that st. Bernard of Clairvaux
preached the Crusade there with such
telling effect that thousands of men as
sumed the cross, and volunteered for
service in the Holy Land. 1t finally
reached completion in 1852, though the
nave and the tower we're rebuilt in the
thirteenth century, and the choir in the
fourteenth.

His pastoral heart felt keenly for ali

the purity of his churches and their

From Ephesus he sought to correct the

especially fellow Christians. Prayer
was the source of his spiritual power
and strength. He remembered his many

He saw that one of his greatest needs
was for friends and we studied how he
kept his friendships in repair by prayer
and personal interest in their spiritual
