Md., a beautiful memorial window designed and executed in Favrile glass
to the memory of Dr. Charles G. W. Macgill, who was president of the
First National Bank of Catonsville and a physician widely known in that
part of Baltimore county. This memorial, the subject of which is St.
Luke, is in three panels, the figure of the evangelist being in the
center opening, while a splendid landscape is carried out in the two
side panels. On a scroll carried by St. Luke is the text: “For to one is
given by the Spirit the gifts of healing.” 1 Cor., xii: 8-9. At the base
