There is indeed a glorious company of Apostles, and a noble army of martyrs, whom one would gladly set forth, two and two, in goodly succession. Two pairs must suffice us: first ST. ANDREW[G] and ST. STEPHEN;[G] next ST. PETER[G] and ST. PAUL.[G] We begin with ST. ANDREW, for he readily obeyed the calling of Christ and followed Him without delay, bringing his brother also: type of self-devotion and personal service, forever. ST. STEPHEN, set apart for the Church’s charitable work, filled with the Holy Ghost and a mighty preacher,――he was the first Deacon, and became the first Martyr. ST. PETER and ST. PAUL bring us to a climax in the Church’s realization of the great commission; prince apostles, the former first led to the Gentiles but afterward distinctly charged with the Gospel to the Circumcision; the latter sent out to the Uncircumcision, truest champion of a Catholic Faith and uncompromising leader of a Catholic Church. He brings us, as we pass the two Angel figures over the door, up to the pulpit,――who fitter than he to be set always before the preacher?――and thence again we see before us the altar and the figure of Our Blessed Lord from which we started on our circuit; [G] Now in place. “Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning: Christ the beginning, and the end is Christ.” This is the scheme which is hereby recommended to your attentive consideration, your criticism, and if worthy, your adoption. When adopted, each opening will be available only for the subject assigned to it, treated in the best style, under the direction and approval of the vestry. Windows may be erected in any order, provided these conditions are complied with; though it is highly desirable that not less than a pair――where there are pairs――should be placed at a time. It is immaterial how many persons join in donating a window. The use of the windows for memorials is very beautiful and very desirable; but there is no restriction to such use, by anything in the scheme. And in closing let it be added, that if――as undoubtedly they will――the vestry and parish shall feel sincerely thankful to those who participate in this pious work, it is not there that the gratitude should chiefly lie. It is an unspeakable privilege to be permitted to place a memorial like this in the house of God, bringing ever new comfort and joy to hearts bereaved, and satisfaction to the donors; yes, if there is need to say it, it is an honor to be permitted to do it. Moreover, in the nature of the case, it is a privilege very limited as to the number of those who can be so favored; and with every window that is taken, the number remaining available becomes rapidly less. * * * * * The above Report with its Recommendations was adopted, entire, by unanimous vote of the Vestry at the regular monthly meeting, January 5, 1897.
