Memorial SInd.w.

The ceremony of the unveiling of the LIE

Paul's Church yesterday morning, was wit
messed by a vast number Of people.
The chapel had been elaburately decorated
with floral pieces by the ladies of the con-
gregatiOn, and the interior presented most
inviting appearance. Large festoons of
flowers surrounded the stsined-glass win
dows, while an Opaque covering yelled the
memorial from the sight of the spectators.
Bishop Wingtield preached and was fol-
lowed by the rector, Rev. j. L. Won Herrlich,
who stated that it gave him great pleasure
to be able to present to the church a gift by
not only Caifornia's but one OF Americas
greatest citizens.
The rector then gave description Of the
window, dwelling upon the central panel
representing the angel of the resurrection
with her charge. Not only was the design
intended to be symbolic OF tue life of Sena-
tor Stanford'S son, but of every other youth
whom death had taken away from the love
and sanctity Of a Christian home,
At a given signal Miss Phebe C. Brown,
popular young lady Of the parish, stepped
forward and severed the cord which fastened
the covering, and as 1t fell the gorgeous
colors Of the window, heightened by the
strong sunlight, burst upon the congregation.
The music was of the first order, the offer
tory being sung by choir OF twenty-eight
voices, giving an Impressive volume 10 the
