Thus we arrive at one of the entrances, and turning the corner, we stand before the first of the windows at the lower end. It is large enough to admit more than one figure. It continues the story from Malachi, to him who went before the face of the Lord: it presents to us ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST,[E] baptizing at Jordan; and close by it stands the Font with its summons, as of old, to the washing away of sins. [E] To be erected in the near future. A splendid opportunity is presented by the great group next in order, the three associated windows piercing the end wall of the nave. Majestic in their simple dignity of outline, what will they not be when filled with stained glass as they should be? Here is space, indeed――ample room for that scene treatment of which the side-wall windows are incapable. Let the middle one, which is much the largest, be the NATIVITY;[F] that on the right side (next to St. John Baptist) the PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE,[F] with Simeon’s Nunc Dimittis; that on the left side, the EPIPHANY,[F] with the Gifts of the Magi. Thus will this entire end-wall set forth the Incarnation, up to which the Old Testament has led us, and out of which proceeds the New, and all the history of the Christian Church. [F] Now in place. Turning again, and passing on, back once more toward the chancel, the first and second pairs of lancets on the Cottage Street side are devoted to the four Evangelists, STS. MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE and JOHN. No explanation is needed of the propriety of putting these figures here. Not only as the biographers of the Lord Jesus Christ, but as chief Founders of that Church which is builded upon Historic Facts――men of deeds as well as writers――we commemorate them. The middle pair is again given to two great women of the New Testament, mothers both and as mothers supremely great: ST. ELIZABETH[G] and ST. MARY.[G] Of the son of the first one it was said, Among those born of women there hath not appeared a greater than John. To the other the Angel’s word was, Hail, thou that are highly favored: the Lord is with thee; and blessed art thou among women. No two characters can lay more claim to our gratitude and reverence than these two women to whom an Allwise God entrusted the tender formative years of the Forerunner and of the Messiah.
