MEMORIAL WINDOW TO MR. DAY.
The handsome window presented by
Mrs. Day to St. Paul’s church in mem
ory of her husband, the late Joseph
Hollingsworth Day, was dedicated yes
terday by Rev. G. Sherwood Whitney
just previous to the morning services.
A of Mrs. Day’s close personal
friends were present and the services
were beautiful and impressive, yet
most simple. The window is one of
exceptional beauty, its rich yet mellow
tones harmonizing in a beautifully
artistic ensemble. It portrays the three
figures of the Savior and two of his
desiples who imet him just after the
Resurrection, they know Him not and
are distressed over the fact that their
Lord has been taken away and they
know not where they have laid Him.
The window is on the east side of the
church, with the morning sunlight
streaming through it is wonderful.
The window is a beautiful tirbute to
a man whose life was beautiful, a man
who served his church and fellowmen
with a rare devotion and who for
eighteen years was a vestryman and
warden of St. Paul’s church, and
whose loss to the church and to his
friends innumberahle is still felt as
keenly as the day he passed away.

“Distinctively Individual 9
Resourcefulness of
Peter the Great is
Revived in Russia
Pet rograd.— “What I sa wat the head
quarters of the Russian commander-in
chief. the Grand Duke Nicholas, would
convince a blind man that Russia has
made great strides in ten years,” writes
a correspondent of the Russkoe Slovo.
“At headquarters there is not a single
individual who is not absolutely neces
sary for the work to be done. The si
lence of a monastery reigns there, and
you can distinctly hear the pulse-beats
of the wary. Work begins in the early
morning, frequently before daybreak.
“I dined with the Grand Duke. It was
a truly Spartan table. There was no
intoxicating drink —only water —at this
quick, quiet meal. Everybody wore the
sort of expression which indicates that
there Is not a minute to be lost, that all
the time must be utilized to the full. In
spite of this, the atmosphere Was demo
cratic. there was no air of official im
portance about anyone.
