THE SACRED HEART CHURCH.

Memorial Windows Presented by
 Members of the Congregation.
 Whitaker Bros, of Boston, who have been doing the interior decorations at the church of the Sacred Heart, have suspended operations for a short time until the woodwork is completed. It is impossible as yet to describe in full the work of those celebrated artists. The colors are beautiful and warm tints are the only ones used. The body is rich cream with buff trimmings and the cap itals are in an old ivory tint. Between the windows on each side are left places for imported oil paintings of the stations of the cross. Over the chancel will be painted the "Apparition" by the we'll known artist William Lamprecht. In the acade walls above he will execute busts of the twelve apostles. Near the choir gallery will be beautifully painted busts of David and St Cecilia, the patron and patroness of Muse. This work which requires great care and skill, will be commenced probably this week. Mr Lamprecht is one of the best church dec orators in the profession and has worked country. The woodwork will be in ash with cherry trimmings. The handsome | imported stained glass windows are all | in position. Over the chancel are two large windows, the one on the left repre- senting St Patrick, dedicated to the memory of the Rev Peter Kelley.
