Tlie Vermomt Standard, published ab "Woodstock, hos, under date of June 9, 1892, aai account of a memorial wmdow placed in St. James Episcopal clmrch of that place, in memoryi of tlue late Dr. George P. Williaans, ■ino (pent the greater part of his liie jn tJiie service of the U. of M. The Sta;mdard says : iSuavdiay last, AVJiit.sim-Day, was the sdxty-foTW-tih amniversary of the Sunday ehio'0,1 of t. James' church; and thie occastoin was madte more thaff uetially torberestSng by the exhibitioiï for tlue fio-sit tiimO, of a very beautiful tained glass wiiïdow, a memorial of the fh-st superiinteiident of the sehiool, the late Rev. Dr. George P. Williiams. From tlue rector's dicouTse, cm t.hie occasion, we here record wome facts wlnich wiill doubtless be of general interest : The Bev. George Palmer WiHiams, D. D. LL. D., wia bom iin "Woodstock, April ïatb, 1802. He graduated aü thie Unirversity of Yermont in 1825. In November of that year the Rev. Mr. Olapp, of Bethel, began to hold thie sea-rtoOB of the Epiecopal church im Woodstock. Mr. Williams seems to luave been particularly interested' in Mr. Clapp's success, and was'one of tice sigmie.rs of the artteles of aasociation formimg a Protestant Episcop.al ofciety in this place. Within a' few monthis he became a, candidate fop the mintetry Of the Episcopal church, and epent tlie next two yea,rs in theol'Ogical Htwdiies. In 1827 thie present building of St. James' obhfrch was erected and was fïrst operwd for public worship on ChirlBtmaS Eve. In May following, a Sunday schtool was organizeid, poder thie uperiaitendence of Mr. Willlame, who, alo, oui altérnate Suindayis, offilciated as Lay Reader. But befare thie end of the year he removed to Gambiier, Olido, amd took charge' oï tho grammar school im connectioa witb Kemyon College. In 1837 he was imvitteid to take chlarge of a similar scliool ini connectfon with it.he l uncrsity of Michigan, then being estaliltehied at Ann Arbor; and here he remaiiied as professor, and sometimes actinK president, till his deatli. September 4, 1881. The wtodow i-s of tlie pointed styli wiith three láncete. lts helght is'fifteen féet, is wlilth tïve fêet and foiir iiu-hes. Tlie subject represented is St. Paul preachiiin,;?, at Atliens, as he there'preachod "Jesus and the Resurrectiioin," tille motto below the Iteure oí tli'e Apostle is 1 Cor. 15:20. "But niow ík Ohirist arisen from the1 dead, amd becotme the iürst fruiits of ilH-ni that elept." At the bottom of the wilnd'ov is this inscription, "In' Memory of the Rev. George Palmei' Wadltams, D. D., LL. D.. l'.oru April 1 :'. i U 1802, Dded Sept. 4th, 1881." The desiign is very effective, and the1 eoloring Ivarmonious and pleasing.
