THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
A Pt'ltl.K' Obligation. ‘‘M'hatever may ho the cost, St. Paul’s Cathedral must he preserved and restored. St. Paul’s is tile national cathedral, just as Westminster Abbey, which is not a cathedral, hut a collegiate church, is the natioua shrine. Aloreovcr, St. Paul's, unlike any other cathedral, was built out of public money. The cost ol carrying into execution Sir Christopher M'ion's superb design, unsurpassed in the world, was largely defrayed by a tax imposed upon seaborne coal. At tlm time, and until the mid-nineteenth lentury. all coal brought to the South of Kngland was carried in ships. As the nation built the cathedral, so it is fitting that the cost of restoration should he made a national charge.” —“Morning Post.’’ [lf any of our readers care to .subscribe to the restoration fund. the ‘•Guardian” Offi e will he glad to acknowledge same, and forward to the proper quarter.—l'.d.
