To Be Memoriala ~~wrn~~~~~installedf~·:~·~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS .. I The reredos was d e s i g n e d by Thomas E. Tallmadge, Evanston artist and architect, the figures designed by John W. Norton, Chicago artist, and carved by Langenegger, a Swiss sculptor recently arrived from Europe and now living in Milwaukee. The reredos is the gift of Miss Mattie Gunthorp in memory of her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. William P. Gunthorp. The great east window will be given in memorial to member.; of the Clyde family by Henry W. Roth, a brotherin-law of Mrs. George Craig Stewart, wife of the rector of St. Luke's, and other members of their family. The center design of the reredos shows Our Lord in glory, his mother at his right, the Apostle John at his left. Above and below, in four tiers of varying height, extends a band of saints free-standing in elaborate architectural niches and carved in stone. The·se symbolize the continuous and uninterrupted succession of the church through its Anglican branch. In style these are medieval with a faint tinge of the Byzantine. Below the figures is a broad shelf carved with the intertwined rose, thistle and shamrock, broken in the center by the tabernacle and flanked '-leyond the ends of the altar on the right with the credence table, on the left with the receptacle for alms. ·A wrought iron screen of interest- ' ing design, hung as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Bairstow, Miss Mabel Blanche Bairstow and Roland James Bairstow, will also be unveiled Sunday. The screen was designed by Mr. Tallmadge and is the first of a series to be hung in the church. This screen divides the choir from the north ambulatory. Two great hand-wrought iron candlesticks, a thank-offering given by Mrs. 'Theodore Robinson, replace two wooden candlesticks which have stood in the sanctuary for nearly 3) years. Easter day a number of vestments for the clergy, which have been given by Mr. and Mrs. L. R. MacAdam. and Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hubbell will be used for the first time and blessed.
