windows in the upper hall of a public school the teacher told u that the designs for the windows were created by a seventh grade pupil with the grade seven pupils carrying out the complete project one window depicts st matthew xxvi 112 the angel of the lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone the other window is an interpretation of st mark xvi19 so then after the lord had spoken unto them he was received up in heaven and sat on the right hand of god the stained glass window effect is obtained from an original char coal design on tissue paper traced olf on colored paper soaked in lin seed oil and outlined with black enamel the large finished sheet is attached to the plain glass window panes at night the windows are lighted and can be seen for several blocks many church members have longed for richly colored stained glass windows in their churches a dream which could not be carried out because of the high cost of these windows this young public j school pupil has shown that beauti ful windows can be enjoyed at the expense of a few sheets of paper a little creative talent and a group of enthusiastic youngsters here surely is a way that our sunday school young people can help beautify the church by doing something with their minds their hands and their hearts if only the older ones would lead them much of the lethargy on the part of young people in our churches to day springs from the fact they are not encouraged to contribute their talent in a practical way to the church itself if children have a stak in something concrete they deaths stuart
