 (Continued from page 1)
 "soldier and servant of Christ. As we are not now dwelling especially or the biographies of those who have gone before, cannot enter the details of the recollections lowering about hel name, lest I might seem to overlook others who have been so much to this church, but feel sure that all are glad to give some special emphasis to this life, whose light so beautifully ] shone before her, as she labored foI the glory of her Father, which is in heaven. And on the altar stand the Eucharistio lights, so full of spiritual symbolism, and reminding us of the gentleness of the Christian character, which, like the trusting faith of little children, accepts the kingdom of heaven. In memory of a child, who entered into paradise at the age of twelve, the gift of his mother, they bear the name of Byron O. Mix.
 The font, a thank offering, for the blessing of two children, Thomas O. and Marion E. O. Hawley, and the window above, with it's story of bless ing of little children, in memory of faithful MT. Chamberlin, the generous gift of his wife, Mrs Nancy M Ohamberlin, we have mentioned be. fore. The text in the window is echoed in the letters on the wall above the font, which were a gift ot number of contributors, And the dove above the words was given by Mrs. Asher Knowlton, Mrs. Cham berlin's mother. The altar cross, also, was, with the vases, purchased d at this time. The windows of the ohancel are the gift of Mrs. E. R. Brown and the Misses Carolyn and Emily Sophie Brown.
 The vested choir was formed and began it's work on the second Sunday after Easter, May B, 1908, and is led by the prooessional cross, which is the gift of Sarah A. Hartlon, daugh. ter of John Dobson, in memory of her daughter, Mary Jane Atkins, who was confirmed in this church May 1 1888
 The name of John Dobson, first among the founders of the parish o1 Grace church, is materially remem- bered by the altar rail, the gift of his children, Allen Dobson, William Dob- son, Sarah A. Hartlon and Emma l.. Parish, which was first used Sunday, April IS, 1909.
 The sanctuary chairs, as we'll as a gift of money, were given soon after Easter, 1909, by the Sunday school. h. The'various Improvements in the fabric, convenience, decoration and lighting of the church you are fami- liar with, or may see about you in pleasing evidence.
 The impulse for the present reno- vation of the church started. some years ago, with John T EMelbourne and Mrs. Robert Fisk. The Sunday school promptly took the matter up, and made contribution and a fund was started Others became interested and some have given generously for the purpose, so that we have the results before and about US,
 As the realization of the value of all these things, for their heIpfulness in the worship of God, claims our grateful attention, we remember with thankfulness those, within and with out the parish, who have made this enovation possible; and may the b armony by which the name of Lyman Palbridge Crane is remembered, in the me morial organ, which was the gift of his wife, Harriet Swift Crane, awaken the greater thought, that the enduring g sweetness, in the memory of those whose names are worthy to be remem bered, is the Christian char acter, that far exceeds their materia benefaotions, which themselves are of the fruit of the noble life
 We shall presently, in our prayer at the altar, remember these, whom the Father has called to the nearer vision of Himself. May their lives and their deeds be an inspiration to all who worship here, and may the Lord give to them, in paradise, rest, re- freshment, peace and perpetual light; o nd fu01lu if if bo His uill hoat0Up upon them the tulness of joy in His everlasting kingdom. .aa
 They have entered into rest, " yet, I think, into continued spiritual activity.
