The CGthedral-YPres, Belgium.

THE town Of Ypres was founded in
the tenth century, and soon rose
to very great Importance on account
of its vast cloth-making interests.
It's superb Cathedral of st. Martin
was. founded by Robert the Frieslander
in 1888, but, as it now stands, dates
chiefly from the thirteenth century.
The corner stone OF the great western
tower was laid in 1884 by Anastasie
D'Oulne. viscountess of Ypres, and was
designed by Martin Utenhove of Mech
lin. It is beautiful Gothic structure,
very light and elegant in its outlines,
and decorated with exquisite taste. The
windows are adorned with delicate
traceries, the same pattern never ap-
pearing twice. All the buttresses are
terminated in foliated pinnacles, which
rise above an elegant parapet Of con-
Stantly varying device.
The portal Of the south transept is
adorned with statues of the Blessed
Virgin and other saints, and is cele-
brated for its richness and the beauty
of its design.
The general effect of the interior is
very fine, owing to the generous di-
mansions of the nave and the beauty
of the polygonal chancel which Is

prevention and cure Of crime are in
harmony with the leading psychologists
Of today.
Our Lord made the love of ones
enemies the test of Christianity. It is
In accordance with His teachings and
spirit that nations are today seeking
to remove the spirit Of enmity, that
generates war, from the nations Of the
earth by seeking to settle all future
controversies and differences not by
force but in a spirit Of justice and good
will. When men love their enemies all
discord will disappear, for love will
destroy such petty spirit and the whole
world will be united in q great brother
hood OF nations based upon love and a
desire to practice the teachings of Jesus
Christ In accordance with the constitu-
ton Of His kingdom, laid down in His
Sermon on the Mount" If Harold
Vivian had not grasped the broken
wires Of the Columbia BroadcaSting
System last Tuesday and used his own
hands to restore the broken circuit, all
who listened in on that system would
not have heard King Georges message.
Unless We make personal efforts to help
restore the connections broken by sin,
so that men can come to hear and
understand the message Of the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords, the world
will not know Christ or the way of
salvation. Let us help restore the
broken circuit by living the gospel in
our daily lives.
