Our windows are perhaps the most
conspicuous and beautiful ornaments of the church. Crafted by
William Heath of Philadelphia, they are fine specimens of Ecclesiastical
art. There are eighteen stained glass windows in the church, with
the two most prominent (facing Church Street and Stockton Street)
measuring fourteen feet wide by twenty two feet long.
|
The large Church Street Window is a
memorial to the late Mrs. Rebecca Montayne, and bears, in
addition to her name, These verses: "Their works do follow
them", and "With Christ, which is far better". The entire lower
half of the window is taken up by a beautiful picture of the
Bethany home, showing Martha preparing a feast while Mary sits
at the feet of Jesus. |

The Stockton Street Window has three
large designs with the following figures and inscriptions:
Faith, presented by Mr. and Mrs. Issac L. Davidson; Charity, In
Memory of Hester A. Morrison, Presented by Many Friends; and
Hope, Presented by Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Rogers. The upper designs
of the window consist of a dove, a crown, and the letters alpha
and omega. |
