THE Church OF THE NATIvITY.-Mr.
Editor: In your notice of the breakage of glass
in the windows of the Church of the Nativity
you say the outside cannot be protected. With
one or two exceptions, they can be protected with
wire screens outside. These windows were OBJ.
tanned with great exerton, through the liberality
of some friends who, admiring the interior con-
struction of the church, did not wish to see com
mon plain glass windows, which would have been
in keeping with the limited means Of the congre-
cation, but not in accordance with the style of ar
chitecture. We were thus enabled to procure
windows with stained glass, which have been
generally admired for their simplicity and neat
ness The seats in this church are free, and it is
supported by weekly offerings; consequently our
finances will not justify undertaking to screen
the windows without knowing where the money
is to come from to pay for it. have already re-
ceived a contribution for this purpose, and am
in hopes we have friends enough to help us in
protecting them from further outrage. "An ounce
of prevention is worth pound OF cure"
