| @. Please explain the major differ
ence between the proposed new prayer
book of the Established Church of Eng
land and the one now in use in that
church. I find abundant articles in
| the press regarding the controversy
going on with respect to the changes
| in the prayer book, but as yet l have
| seen no clear exposition of the par
| ticular points for which each of the
| parties to the dispute is contcnding.
| A. The submitted version Of the
Book of Common Prayer now refused
| the ratification of Parliament contains
permission for the reservation of the
Eucharist in order that its consecrated
clemens may be administered to sick
or infirm pariShioners.
This concession arouses opposition be-
cause it is said to favor the Anglo
Catholic party. Many clergy of this
party already reserve the Eucharist for
the purpose of alteration. a practice
which Anglicans of the Protestant wing
reject Hence the controversy you name;
in which some Anglo-Catholics COM
plain of the latest alterations Of the
revision as loudly as their brethren
object to it as a whole.
Both versions of the book may be
used according to the discretion of the
lONil IICi ; yIIldti anu HIS NGSlly. 1Cl -
tain prayers and collects have been in
troduced and others changed in form
in order to make the ritual more COM
plete and comprehensive.
1t would seem to an outsider that
the Church of England should be at
liberty to do as she pleases on the issue
But her present relation to the state
gives Parliament the power to inter-
vene.
O. My boy, ID years old, has recently
asked me if I would study the Bible
with him. I believe studying ancient
angle of the Bible to him. I would be
grateful if you viii name book or
books which in your opinion would
be helpful, as feel do not know how
to start on so large a subject.
Please also suggest the order in which
the various parts of the Bible should be
studied
A. I congratulate you on this oppor-
tunity to read the Bible with your son.
would suggest How to Enjoy the
Bible" by A. c. Deane; THE Back
ground of the Bible" by Henry K.
Booth, and 1.-THE Greatest Book in the
World" by r. H. DarloW
then take up the historical books of
the Old Testament and, finally read
Proverbs, the Psalms, the Epistles of
the New Testament and the Prophets
You also will find 1.-THE Living Bible"
edited by Bolton Hall, exceedingly
helpful.
Q. Kindly refer me to a book con-
tanning what in your opinion is the best
collection of prayers of the Protestant
Churches.
A. The anglican Book of Common
Prayer" and the Book of Common
Worship" published by the Presbyterian
Church, contain prayers drawn from the
purest devotional sources of the Hebrew
and Christian religions. Consult any
standard book store for numerous other
compilations of which the Anglican
prayer book is admittedly the model.

The Cathedral, Siena, Italy.

WHEN Christianity replaced paganism
as the religion of the Roman Empire
the temple of Minerva at Sena Julia,
now Siena, was transformed into
Christian church dedicated to the
Assumption Of the Blessed Virgin. In
the thirteenth century this was replaced
by the present cathedral, the dome of
which was completed in 1864. About
the year 1917 its choir was prolonged to
cover the Church of St. John, an ancient
baptistry, which now forms a kind of
crypt beneath it and is filled with some
of the choicest gems of fifteenth century
art.
The work Of erecting the cathedral
was cut short by the terrible plague that
devastated the city in 1850, and as the
building now stands it is only the tram
sept of the colossal temple which had
been planned. The ruin of the half
finished nave witnesses to the beauty
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-26

of the design, which if carried out would
have produced structure unparalleled
in majesty. Even in its present form
the Cathedral of Siena is of vast size
and is considered one of the most glori-
Gus buildings in the world. 1t is a
unique example of the possibilities of
the italian Gothic style.
The lofty campanile built of alternate
courses of white and black marble, is
exceedingly beautiful, but the great
western front of the building draws
forth still more glowing admiration.
It was built in 127O-133O from the de-
signs of Giovanni Pisano, and exhibits
a happy combination of the pointed and
the circular styles. Its sculptures are
from the hands of different masters and
the nlosaics were added as recently as
1873 by Mussini and Francfi On each
side of the entrance is a column sur
monted by figure of a wolf, the emblem
of the city of Siena.

COMMUNITY ADVERTISING

TT is in the spring that "a young
: mans fancy turns to love" but
in Kennewick, at least this week,
the young men and the older men,
too, are turning to ral1es and hoes
and other kinds of garden inple-
ments.
April Is has been designated as
annual spring cleanup" day for
Kennewick by Mayor c. A. Craw-
ford and if the displays of garden
implements in the local hardware
stores are any indication, Kenne-
wick will live up to the mayors
expectations and become the clean
est town in the Yakima valley.
With the advent of warm wealth
er, every property owner and every
tenant should appreciate the need
of general cleanup. This pro-
gram should include disposal of
the winters accumulation of ref
use, such as garbage, old tins,
cans, leaves and brush and should
inspire repairing and re-painting
of buildings.

Please look at your state map
and you will see that the proposed
tunnel through the Cascade noun
tains is practically in the states
center from East to West, portals
at Skykomish and Leavenworth res
pectively, at no point more than
1900 feet elevation, 2100 feet lower
than the old Cascade railroad tun-
mel. Tourists from the south, from
Tacoma and Grays Harbor county
will not pass through Seattle, but
go east of Lake Washington and
connect with the main thorough
fare at Monroe, shortening the
distance 45 miles to Spokane.
Think and talk the Cascade low
level tunnel-our state legislators
will help.
