The first part of October, there was
placed, in the quasi south transcept
of the church, beautiful window of
four panels given by Mrs. Thornton

band. The window was made by
Kempe and Co., London, Eng. and is
carried out in the style of the Fif-

arrived at the highest perfection in
his art. AT the top in the center
quarter-foil is the figure of an angel
holding a shield on which is shown a
heart with tiny tongues of flame shoot
ing upward The small quarterfoils
on either side show conventional de
sign with purple the predominating
color.
The upper part of the panels are
filed with half figures of angels on
background of white and gold acant-
hus, the angels holding scrolls on
which is written the 18th verse of the
18th. Psalm. But as for me. | will
behold thy presence in righteous
ness; and when ! awake up after thy
likeness, shall be satisfied with it,
Then below, enshrined in frames of
architectural ornament are two
scenes from our lords life which
have to do with children. In the two
panels on the left our Lord is shown
rebuking the Apostles and blessing
the little children whom their
mothers have brought to Him. The
city of Jerusalem can be seen in the
background and over the heads of the
figures is a scroll bearing the words
of Jesus, Suffer the little children
to come unto Me-, and forbid them
not: for of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven"
In the two panels on the right is a
scene that may be described as the
family life of the Boy Jesus. 1t shows
the young Saviour with His Mother
and the little ST. John the Baptist at
her knee; st. Elizabeth, mother of St
John the Baptist and cousin of the
bessed Virgin, stands with bowed
head looking upon the group This
scene is depicted in the garden of the
home at Nazareth, the house and
buildings being seen in the back
ground. In the upper part of these
two panels is a scroll on which is
written the 3D. verse of the 45th
Psalm. Thou art fairer than the
of men: full of grace are thy
lips, because God hath blessed thee
for ever" In the lower right hand
