THE COSTLIEST MEMORIAL WINDOW IS THE WORLD

o.onot be appreciated except under favour-, able circumstances Looking at it from the outside, embedded m its huge frame, one gets no idea of its beauties, but merely sees the faint outline obscured by the deeper darkness within* and overshadowed by the building iv which it rests. But go into the quaint old churoh : stand where the sun's descending ray is softly sifted through the coloured, artistically enameled and arranged prisms of glass, and you then see blended m one grand whole the beauties of art m, har mony pleas'ng co the dullest eye. One «>f the finest memorial tablets m the world is that recently erected by Mr P. Miller of •* Glencairn," Upper William Street, Darlinghursb, Sydney. A tablet which memorises his . thankfulness, one to which ethers may look with confidence andadmira* tion, and one which will stand the test of years. The words on this tablet are deeply cat m moments of direst agony and pain, and every letter, every character, stands out boldly, carrying invaluable lessons to us all. The text of this tablet is : — " I can speak m the highest terms of Warner's Safe Core and Pills which I always recommend to my friends. W hen travelling through the South Sea Islands I suffered very severely from my liver and kidneys, and consequently consul ted the local doctors, who prescribed for me but without any good effect. I had often v been advised by my friends to try Warner's Safe Cure, and. as a last resource did ao. Upon giving it a fair trial by taking sever .1 bottles I became perfectly well, and have nob had any return of the complaint since.
