 A memorial of great beauty has been re- cently erected in St. Jobn's church, Mont gomery, to the late Rev. pr. Horace Stringiellow, who for so many years was rector of that parish. It was ordered by the congregation of Messrs. J. & R.. Lamb of New York and was placed in posi- tion on the 18th o. October. From the Church Record this description of the me- morial is taken: "The memorial is par apet of brass and white walnut, making a rich, heavy and ornate rail, which extends across the chancel, separating the choir from the nave. At the opening of the chancel on either side are two angels, standing upon white walnut columns. These angels are also in brass, and, like the rail, with bronze finish. The wood pedestals upon which they stand are feet high and the angels rise to the height of feet. They stand in graceful pose, facing the congregation, with wings slightly sep. arated and holding in their hands scrolls. On the scrolls are the inscriptions, and as follows: On that in the hands of the angel on the left of the entrance, 'ro the glory of God and in memory of the venerable Horace Stringfellow, D. D., for twenty four years rector of this parish; died Mo- vember 8, 1893, in the 67th year of his age.' , On the scroll in the hands of the other an gel is this: "A token of, his congrega- l tion' 8 affection. ."Precoius in the sight l of the Lord is the death of His saints." = Psalms, cxyi, 15.
