Latneoral, 30 Years in Building,
Needs $1,000,000 for Sanctuary

NEW YORK Bishop William T.
Manning's campaign to complete
the sanctuary In the cathedral of
St. John the Divine by the opening
of the 1939 world's fair focuses
public attention on recent develop-

the towering edifice will be the
greatest Gothic cathedral in the
.world when it la completed, with a
capacity of more than 40,000 wor
shipers under the soaring vaults of
its nave and transepts.
The bishop's present plea is for
a million dollars, so that temporary
partitions can be taken down, mak
ing a single nave, one-tenth of a
mile long.
A Unique Structure
j History of the building is aj In-
terestlng as the structure is
i unique. For 20 years after the
j cornerstone was laid in 1892, con
jstruction followed the ponderous
Romanesque style, with a gaudy
Byzantine interior.
Then the fashions of religious
architecture changed, and the
plana were revised to overlay the
heavy skeleton with features of the
loftier Gothic mode.
By this curious procedure, St.
John's is at present, according to
one architectural critic. "Gothic
fore and aft with a rude chunk
of cyclopean Romanesque amid
ships." Now that the church is definitely
Gothic, its center nave is one of
the widest In the world, being
more than 100 feet across. Eight
piers support the vaulted ceiling,
124 feet above the floor.
Light Form Patterns
Streams of light from multi
colored windows play upon a dozen
slender columns, shading grotesque
patterns on the floor. Spectators
in the upper galleries are reduced
! to the Insignificance of midgets, a
psychic symbollism said to show
the minuteness of man in the Gar
gantuan scheme of things.
Bishop Manning seeks to lift the

and harmonize its features with
the Gothic nave. When this is
done, funds will be raised to re
place the dome and spire with a
massive 400-foot tower.
