Is Masoeux.-During the past week two very beauti-
ful stained-glass windows have been added to the pretty
little church of St. Andrews'. They are very chaste in
design, and the combination of colours is very effective.
The one on the south side is illustrative of Christ walking
on the sea, "it is I, be not afraid," whilst the companion
picture represents Peter sinking in the waves- "Lord
save toe." At the bottom runs the inscription :-" In
iimmory of Alfred Stephens, at rest October 15th. 11571.
aged 20" The subject of the new window on the opposite
side is-" Suffer little children to cline unto Me, and
forbid thein not." Christ has a little one in Ilk arms,
laying His hands upon it, whilst Ile is surrounded by His
disciples and others who have brought their infants to
Him. It is erected "In memory of Daniel and Elizabeth
Case and faniily, by Maria Carter, their grand-daughter "
From the number of stained windows the interior of the
sacred eslitice presents a very beautiful appearance. We
hear that two others will shortly he ad:lkl, and no doubt
in • little time the few plain windows left will all be
removed.
