12 FOR REMEMBRANCE —$ A MILITARY-MEMORIAL CHAPEL. The. desire to immortalise the battlefields where Now* Zealand soldiers havo died, is very strong in alm'ost every heart. At Trentham Camp,, for example, there is a long line of stoneenclosed rosebeds, and on each flower bed is a stone which carries the name of a battlefield. It is a beautiful thought, for whenever the roses bloom .it is like a fresh blaze of glory for those who fell, another wreath of flowers upon then: faroff graves. The organisers of the appeal for funds to build an Anglican Cathedral in Wellington have the same purpose in mind, and the Cathedral will embody all the natural hopes and griefs and memories of an ardent, earnest people. The west wing of this handsome, majestic • build- • ing will be a soldiers' memorial cliapel. .It will be dedicated to St. George, tho national saint of England, and hare will be enshrined tho names and deeds of those unselfish men, not forgetting our Maori brothers, who left homes and loved ones and prosperity, -to cross tho seas and "fight the great fight with all their might —and to.die in the cause of freedom. It has seldom been the privilege of tho people of a diocese to havo an opportunity of erecting as a lasting .memorial, a cathedral of the splendid proportions of tho proposed Anglican CathedrAl in Wellington. It, will, when finished, present a : beautiful picture of lofty spires and delicate tracery and solid symmetrical contours. In the chanel already referred to there will be winuows symbolising tho military campaigns in which the New Zealanders wore identified, which will bo known as tlio Gallipoli, Flanders, Palestine, Egypt, etc, windows. There will scarcely be an historical incident concerning New Zealand which will' not be included in the decoration scheme. To assist tins worthy camiiaign, helpers should communicate. with the organising secretary, Rev. C. I?. Askew, St. Mark's Vicanme, Wellington. Government Stock and War Certificates may bo contributed. Legacies also are invited. Promises qt donations may be spread over a period ol from one to-fivo years—Advt
