Empire Sending Stone
For Cathedral
STONE from many parts of the world is to be used in completing the extension of Portsmouth Cathedral,
of which the old twelfth century church of St. Thomas a Becket now forms the choir.
Old stones of Iona, Sherborne Abbey, Canterbury and Winchester have already been set in the first part of the extension, and it is hoped to include in the great nave stone blocks from every port visited by ships of the Navy. Recently it was announced that the city of St. John, New Brunswick is sending a package of stone to be included in the new building.
The city of Montreal is also considering sending stone for the Rame purpose-either Montreal limestone or Stanstead granite.
Another stone which may be sent is a peculiar formation dis- covered on St. Helen's Island in
