Church Windows
Through the courtesy of Messrs. Smith & Smith of Wellington we are able to reproduce the new window that firm inserted in the new church at Masterton.
;_ The window seems to have given great satisfaction to the donors one of whom (the Rev. Dean McKenna) wrote Messrs. Smith & Smith congratulating them on the work, and wrote the firm that "the artist who designed and executed the work in the four windows, representing the four evangelists, may well be proud of it, and your firm
is to be congratulated in possessing an artist who is so capable, and an establishment in the Dominion where such work can be executed.” “I may say, that every person who has seen the windows is greatly pleased with them—the donors particularly so. What they think may be summed up in what one of them wrote to me “I went to see the windows when they were on view at Smith & Smith’s. I thought they looked lovely and especially St. John, who had a lovely face and the colouring was beautiful. I was quite proud to thing I was one of the donors.” The windows cost £BO, and the Rev. Dean McKenna stated that he was better pleased with them than any other in connection with the church.
