THE first record of the cathedral at| cha Bangor is dated ‘somewhere early in the sixth century, when St. Deinal founded and built a.church on the site of the present structure. Very little is known about this first. church but it seems that it remained in existence for about 400 years, for there is definite evidence that it was almost completely burned during the invasion of the year 1071. King Edward I burned again ln the year 1282, but it was rebuilt Bishop Anian a few years later. Dutrucnve forces came again in 1402 when Owen. Glendower traveled toward Bangor and set fire to the-ancient edi- fice which destroyed all but the mas- sive stonework of the cathedral. The Civil: War added a final injury, for at this time fire visited the church and most of the woodwork and the ornate glass fell victims to the|died futy of the soldiers. A partial restoration was affected a few years thereafter, but the bu!ld!n‘ remained in a rather poor state many years because of the. unsettled of the country and because of Jack of funds-for com ir.

Sunday School Lesson Rev. Hugh T Stevtmn ‘THE_BIRTH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.—Luke 1.1-80. Golden text—"“Thou shalt before the face'of the Lord ‘make ready His ways."—Luke 1.76. Men recognized that Jesus is the cen- ter of history when at the opening of the year they wrote 1931. During the coming six months our lessons will be focused about the life of the World's Greatest Personality. Our studies have been chosen from the gospel of Lule, which Renan says is “the most ful book that has ever been writf In all probability it was prepared, as a part of Paul's delen.u when the apostle was being iried by the Roman authori- ties. The autMor was the distinguished prisoner’s beloved physician. He made a thorough research into all the facts relating to the life of the Lord Jesus. Modern historical and archeological investigations have confirmed Luke's accuracy as a historian. He “traced ac- curately” all things to the very begin- ning. He obtained his information from eyewitnesses. In an age without a fixed calendar Luke relates the Master's life to the great worid movements, giving them a deflnme historical connection. He fixes the prenatal events in connection with the births of both John the Baptist and Jesus in the reign of Herod, Kln[ of Judah. This dissolute ruler reigned from 37 B. C. to 4 B. C. He was the head of the Idumean dynasty. Although he was recognized as a Jew (by being a proselyte), he belonged to a pagan race and was pagan in spirit and purpose. He was a servant and friend of the Roman power, which controlled the des- tiny of Paul. Luke's gospel was writ- ten to prove that Christianity was a world faith and that Jesus was the Savior of all men, It was necessary for him to shcw how Christ became what He was—"God manifest in the flesh”—so he opens his gospel with a chapter that is essentially Jewish in all its details.
