Pro-Cathedral of Saint Mary, to bring God nearer to men. to bring men nearer to God—to do thy share in bestowing upon us what is far more precious, far more needed for peace and felicity, than copious gifts of earthly arts—the guardianship in time and in eternity, of the Eternal and Almighty God.

----------------oDays U £. ----------------- a great meditative mind, so perfectly has he caught the tragically sad expressions which must have been on the faces of the original Group of Golgotha. The intense, resigned agony on the dying Savior's face would move a heart of stone. The Sanctuary is appropriately the crowning glory of the Basilica. Here some artist’s great heart is built into the sculptured stone, and his great mind is etched in the wondrous scheme of beauty, which is. as Byron said of a great Roman Basilica. A fit abode wherein appear enshrined the hopes of immortality.” Surrounding the Sanctuary on three sides is a beautiful wrought iron grille, supported by twelve green Cippolin marble columns, each carved from a solid block. On a ledge of marble, supported by these twelve pillars, are life size figures of the Apostles. These figures are each carved from a solid block of Botticino marble, and are exact duplicates of the group in the Basilica of Saint John Latern in Rome. The all-marble baldachino. executed in Botticino Italian marble, with its huge columns of colored Pavonazzo. forms a fit setting for the main altar, which stands directly under the richly decorated dome. The altar, of white Carrara marble, is hand-carved, and carries no other decorations, save the golden door. On the summit of the baldachino. stands Mary Immaculate, in all her virgin beauty. Queen and Mistress of the House of God. So stands our great Basilica, simple, erect, sublime, keeping tranquil vigil over our loved city, and the busy throngs that hurry by. As we close this chapter of our book, our hearts spontaneously re-echo the prayer of the late Archbishop Ireland in his beautiful apostrophe to the Pro-Cathedral on the occasion of the Civic Dedication. November 2. 1913. I 17 1
