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.
