cal instruction, We see this opening
as. a chance too good to be squander'

past, The important issue now is:
'what shall we db with that place?
Able men and women are convinced
that school children; and college stn-'

and women, that literature is Often

mass in the nave of the Cattle-6rd of
Reims forthe tirst time since the war.
Tee'•leat time such a ceremony took
place was September 19, 1914, when
Monsignor Landrieuy, then Vicar -Gear
eral'of the Cathedral, said mass before
one single worshiper. Bombardment
of the town was'inprogress, and shells
bursting overhead Interrupted his read-
ing of the liturgy. That night the
woodwork of the Cathedral took fire
and the whole edifice was gutted.
Since that Clue the building has been
in disuse, save for one chapel and part
of the ambulatory on the north side of
the choir, walled off from the rest.
Now eight years of patient work in re-
storation of the interior are crowned
by the ceteniony noted. A new altar
stands in the Mast Pay of the nave,
backed by a temporary wale which
separates it from the trausepte, and a
ditinnutive choir is formed by thefew
choir-etalla which escaped destruction.
