way for our townsman Mr.. L. A.

orial window. The window was made
by the Detroit Stained Glass Window
Co. and bears the inscription, I'm
Memoriam of Mrs. Emma Wheyland
Sharp" The window is in FIVE panels
and the general effect is a pastoral
one, while the prevailing colors are
pink and olive. Midway in the center
panel is floral design, while an
anchor, open Bible, Tyre and harp are
to be seen in the other panels. AS
the window nears the top the colors
gradually blend until at the top they
merge into sky blue. The window
Is work OF art and adds much to the
attractive appearance of the church
property
The Autre Vie and Knights of the

to an end with the singing OF college

the chancel windows in St. Johns

the Detroit Stained Glass Window

the finest pieces of work turned out
by the above firm. The center piece
is cluster of lilies, while the colors
throughout the entire job blend
