Hritish law and precedents as h basis of their laws except where ex pressly modified. In 1751 the act in question (~2 George II.) was passed bv t he It.-i- i .] .Parliament for (he revision ofih calendar; It embodied ihis Gr^ifonu rule which had already been adopt -. by Catholic countries*. It read*: "The years of the Christian Era ?rdenominated us years current fr >n the midnight between ilia Hist o December and the 1-t of January im mediately subsequent to the birib Christ, according to the chronologi cal determination of that event h\ Dionyglus Exlginus."

A ND CHAR -t CTER. ; b The aim of architecture is three- ' fold, perfection in strength, utility / and beauty. The highest possible N .. development of each of these three T . ideas, without sacrificing cither of - the other two, constitutes the highest *' ideal for the architect. A history of * , architecture that would go back far '* enough, and come down to the pre.?. ent , would reveal the working out of this ideal. We should find crude 1 " structures in the beginning. But every noble development must have ' ^ its beginning. Our highest concop- r tions are but evolutions from humb'e 1 ' and simple first thoughts. It would * s b" both pleasing and Instructive to *' follow the historian throughout hilong journey, and trace with him the f- gradual and sure progress from the c p- rude, inglorious hovels to tlie nobb r temples and palaces that finally took 1 ? their plane. "NVe should find that, at * D. an early day in the history of nations ] ~ Egypt reached the highest ideal with * r? respect to strength?durability. Her f ie pyramids and temples evince the 1 e truthfulness of this statement. And i ' along with the idea of durability. ? which must have first place with them, |S they developed the idea of beauty 1 to some considerable extent, and that ? IS of ut ility in a limited degree. Greece * reached almost, if not. quite, the per ( ' fection of beauty and grace. The i Ir s/onrler rolumns, tho exquisite pro- 1 ' portion and symotry are every where \ ^ manifest InThPl? StFiiCtilFOSi' Rome, i " | rt-ith her ponderous arches, useful 1 I aqueducts, necessary roads, and cons i !v" | fort able buildings reached far to- > j wards tho perfection idea inutility i J And the highest conception in archi- l 1 tecfure lnis come to he perfection in I strength, usefulness and beauty. | *c' And Is not this also true in the build- i ls ing of a character? Would not these i three ideas, faithfully blended in'o 1 one harmoneous whole constitute tin* I 3 highest development in character? : u In architecture the first step in act ual 1 >e execution must be foundation work. With an insecure foundation neither of the three necessary qualities of < highest architecture can be realized. | a There can be no durability, no ex- < ;1] ' tended usefulness and no long-con- I IS turned beauty. A3 the foundation ln goes down all the building sutlers. i ,0 Is this not true In character? There r(l must be a secure and broad founda- 1 lion upon which a noble character rests. What shall that foundation \ r [ be? Well, the foundation of soeie?y t ^ j and business and of government i< < ' faith. Vaitli in anmotliinir m* sotn#? i V ( " - ^ *j j one to some degree. And there is no < i evading it. The man who scoffs at ( sr " fuit.li is sneering at the verv vital i ic j principal that underlies every bless- i n [ ing and every opportunity that is his. ? i The merchant must entrust his money ! ;c ! I to his clerks; the client manifests I *e . , i faith in his lawyer; the patient in 1 17 j his doctor; the liusbnt.d in his wife, 1 ... the wife in the husband. The gov- ! ( ernment in her soldiers, officers, eiti- ' j zens ; the soldiers, officers nml citizen?, in the government. Faith underlies ( and upholds commerce and industries. ' ti Vou cannot blot out faith without 1 ^ destroying society, commerce and the ' very nation itself. Why not make ' faith the foundation of character? It 1 n , is the true foundation. Faith in 1 ,9 . something, somebody. It must be ^ there. ' (l There is something that must proceed the laying of the foundation in architecture. There must be a plan. * *. 1 No man would build a house or lay n ' .. luuuutuiun or invest in. and collect r is ' material for building, without first- 1 ' planning the manner of build!n.cr he ' : into ids to construe?:.
