The Cathedral of Segovia is splendid
specimen Of the fiorid style Of Gothic
architecture. It was built in the six
tenth century to replace an older one,
which was destroyed in 1920. 1t was
begun five years later by Juan Gil de
Ontanon and his son Rodrigo Gil, after
the designs of their magnificent cathe-
dral at Salamanca, and is said to have
been the last of the purely Gothic ca
thedrals. It's beauty is enhanced by the
peculiarly rich color of the stone of
which it is built. The cupola which
crowns its square tower was originally
$50 feet high, but was lowered 90 feet
for greater security from lightning.
It's cloisters, which are very rich and
graceful belong to the former cathedral
and Juan Carupero performed the ex-
traordinary feat of taking them down
and putting them up again in exactly
their original shape. The interior Is
bright and cheerful and is very striking
on account of the bold and harmonious
designs of the arches and the richness
and elaboration of the vaulting. Most
of the windows are filled with picture
glass, the coloring of which is very bril-
liant and effective. The high altar Is
inclosed by very fine iron grille, or
namented with gliding and exceedingly
lofty.

Religious Questions
Dr.. S. Parkes Cadman.

q. Was the entire New Testament
written in the Greek language?
If not. why Is 1.-The Greek New Tesla
"ment" regarded as authoritative?
About how closely does New Tesla
ment Greek resemble modern Greek?
Would a person with q knowledge OF
New Testament Greek be able to read
q modern Greek newspaper or to un-
derstand modern spoken Greek?
Would you advise a college graduate
with q natural aptitude for foreign
languages and a good knowledge OF
three Of them to teach himself New
Testament Greek, or is It too difficult
to learn without teacher?
Could you recommend a good text
book for self-instruction?
Do you think the benefits to be de-
rived from a knowledge Of. this SUBJ
ject really would justify the outlay OF
time and effort? arm a Christian and
deeply interested in the New Testament
A. Yes, and in its splendid original
and accurate Interpretation.
In many respects there is a close re-
semblance, but knowledge of the
Greek New Testament would not enable
you to read a modern Greek newspaper
To do this you would need to master
Thumbs Handbook of the Modern
Greek Vernacular" IT. and T. Clark.
BY all means, I would advise you to
begin the study Of THE Greek New
Testament" Cambridge University
Press, with which there is a key to
the exercises, and one greatly helpful
to the student working alone.
The outlay OF time and effort will
In my judgment, be amply compensated
You would be able to appreciate more
fully the priceless message Of this book
and also the best commentators who
have expounded its truths. It would
further enable you to become a Chris
tan teacher of value and influence
than whom few persons are more
needed today.
@. Was Lazarus at the time of hi.
death believer In Christ?
A. All we know of Lazarus Is told u.
in the fourth Gospel. In chapter 2
verse S. the names of the family in
Bethany are given in the following
order: Martha. her sister Mary anc
Lazarus. All three were beloved Of
Christ. and one might conclude from
this statement that Lazarus was a be.
lever The chief interest Of Lazarus, In
OklC 1NCW 4CotAAICAlt, liCC al tkIC Hill dClt
Of which he was the subject.
@. take it that the essence Of the
Christ idea Is the oneness of God anC
man. Is not this idea independent Of
Jesus of Nazareth and did it not occur
to men before His time? Is He not
simply one of a series of men in whom
the idea has been successfully en-
bodied? This being the case, may We
not suppose that there will be yet other
embodiments Of 1t which will outrank
its embodiment In Jesus?
A. Certainly what you call "the
Christ idea" Is almost as old as intelli.
gent thought. That the human and the
divine. though different, are akin, is the
basis of all religion. 1t is the motor
nerve Of the Old Testament's prophetic
messages. The expectation that Goo
would yet reveal Himself in a great de.
liverer of the race monopolized the elect
souls Of Israel.
Christian doctrine maintains thai
this expectation was fulfilled in Jesu.

The reliable or altar-screen was erect
ed for Charles III by Lieut.. Gen. Saba
tino. 1t is of vast proportions and is
composed of precious marbles of varied
and exquisite colors. Another fine re-
table rises above the altar in the Chapel
of Piety. 1t was designed by Juan de
Juni in 1871 and represents the DEPOSIT
ton from the Cross. The trascoro--that
part of the church between the en-
trance and the screen Of the ritual choir
in the middle OF the nave-is adorned
with delicately tinted marbles and the
floor is paved with diamond-shaped
blocks of the same material.
Among the artistic treasures in this
church is very fine painting of st.
Thomas by Alonzo Sanchez Coeleo, but
it was much injured by the restoration
from an incompetent hand in 1845.
There are number of very fine
monuments in the Segovia cathedral,
including the mausoleums of several
prelates and princes. One of these is
the sarcophagus of the Infante Don
Pedro-son of Enrique, or Henry IL
who was killed at the age of 8 years,
owing to the carelessness of his nurse,
who let him fall from her arms from
an upper window Of the palace. An
other contains the relics Of the patron
saint of Segovia, Santa Maria del Sal
to, st. Mary Of the Leap, who died in
1897.
