Show (GOT Sculpture to Make Chapel an Art Gem The Belmont chapel of the Cathede ral of St. John the Divine on Heights Is practically completed and J. Gutzen Borgliyn. the sculptor, has Morn-lngald- d the tnodehi of two gentlemen angels to take ihe place of the lady angels to which objection was made, aays the New Yoik Sun. More interest-luthan either of these items of news is the announcement by Mr. of hit Borglum theory that the cathedral has reached the stage in its development when it has a soul or a spirit of Its own. g Mr. Borglum talked to a reporter of this spirit, which Is not unusual, he declares, among cathedrals. He satd: . The sculpture work on the cathedral is naturally a and necessarily very serious part of the work. To the laymen or to the lay mind the religious character of the building will apeak most directly through the embellishments. The sculpture that Is planned for the cathedral Is as elaborate as that of any cathedral than I can now call to mind, and while I am working with all the freedom that I believe was ever given to any sculptor, I am taking the problem up as I find it and dealing with it aa a separate and new not subject without precedents thlnhlngi In other words, how other people have worked upon other cathedrals. What I mean by that Is that the architecture as the architect turns it over to us demands a treatment Individual to Itself, and as far as the architecture Is original the treatment is new. The subject of church sculpture or Gothic sculpture they are the same seem 8 to have been a puzzle to modern men. It admittedly occupies a position unique among styles and frequently attains a height of nobility and beauty unsurpassed by the what I mean? You understand You attempt to form the character of a child. You can do so up to a cer- tain point.. Then it takes Itself out of your hands. It begins to form itself. "You understand that you cannot put up there on that hillside a Parisian edifice now or a Greek church You can put nothing but what you have begun. The cathedral will no' permit you. It has now a spirit of its own and a decided character which nothing can alter. It has derided that it will bd Golhic and Gothic it will be. And we must respond to this spirit. It has been an Interesting psy chologlcal study to me to observe the response or lack of response to this spirit of the modellers and carvers, either for ornamental or figure work, that we have employed on the designs of the Belmont Chapel. According to their responsiveness or their lack of responsiveness, they have been retained or dismissed. "This Is necessary. Of course, the spirit of the cathedral Is just forming or, better, we are Just beginning to be conscious of It. I don't pretend to say which It Is or to know accurately, but what I do say and know Is this: That unless we are In the spirit of It, or are conscious that It has a spirit of its own and are entirely In sympathy with It and, ready and willing to conform to it, we had better stop work on the great cathedral at once, even If we leave It to stand there on the hilltop, a great gray, fleahless skeleton of Gothic wches and dangling ropes forever and a day, overlooking Morningside Park and frowning upon It. Description of the Chapel. It was in this spirit that Mr. Borglum designed the statues whjch are to ornament the Belmont chapel. The chapel Is Gothic and may be described as ornately simple. You enter Just back of the main altar. To the right and left are two tiers of angels, five angels on each side. These are In the 'rich toned limestone they call Frontenac. Beyond these to the right and the left about six feet from the floor stand two statues, one of St Peter and the other of St. Paul. On the sides of the altar are two tiers of saints. From the top down on the right these are St. Athanasius, St. Basil, St Polycarp and St. Gregory. - Those on the left are St Clement St. Chrysostom, St. Ignatius and St Ephrem Syrus. The caps clowning the group of small columns that support the vaultare heavily ing carved with an arrangement of cher- Greeks. Charm of Sculpture. Rodin admits that he Is puzzled by It. He elates that he finds It impossible to understand Gothic style at all, much as he admires It. "Of course, what I refer to Is the sculpture. Very definite lines of work were arrived at by the architects, but the sculpture seems always to have bees left free to travel Its own strange way. In my opinion. Its charm la unquestionably due to this fact, to this freedom, and I believe that this Is the explanation that has been sought by so many. For Instance, I have tried a great many assistants at the cathedral and at my studio for this work of the cathedral. I have found that not one man In twenty has enough of what I call the natural in him, the aliveness to the beauty of form as It U aa he shapes It under Ms hand, to be what I consider necessary to make a Gothic sculptor. The American worker Is either overtrained or undertrained. The one leaves him without knowledge of his craft and the other provides him with conventions, and I have found that my assistant make no satisfactory headway unless they know their craft and yet are not overburdened with what I call academic knowledge. Better But Not Good Enough. Judge Grosscup of Chicago, in a recent magazine article saya that there is no more graft and grafting than there abroad In the world was In days gone by scarcely so The good old times much were not so good after all, he opines. Even 100 years ago, be says, the reeked with government English graft. That does not change the fact than that there is more graft there should be. Thats the important thing. A hundred years agar the cholera and various other plagues were claiming their victims by the thousand. but that U no reason why we should relax the scientific regulations under which such epidemics are held In check.

The canopies over the niches are of varied designs. The two guardian angels, St Gabriel and St. Michael, will stand on buttresses on either aide of the window. These are that the figures had to be made over. A niche at the apex of the root will contain the fig ure of the child Christ Just under the main window is a group of three figures.

But which was apparently the worst night In the year, even John wore a long face, and aa he swung bis cab door open for tke minister to enter, Johns doleful expression was so noticeable that the minister inquired if he were thinking about the work of cleaning off the mud in the morning. "No, It is not the work that I'm thinking of. If I could make as much as you this evening, I wouldn't mind It a bit. Well, replied the minister, I am to marry a couple this evening and I'll give you half of my fee for driving me out and back. "It is a deal, replied John. After an hour of dreary driving through cold and rain John drew up In front of a email house In which the service was to take place. It was two long hours of cold waiting before the minister the cab, and the home drive was made. With a spirit of expectancy John once more swung open the cab door In front of the ministers house. The minister stepped out, and as he entered his own door he turned and said: Five hundred thanks, John, leaving the bewildered cabman to figure out what his exact fee had been.
