Perhaps In a still closer sympathy and touch do the thrco memorial windows on thojvall of St. Jlnr- Karf''s to the left of the chancel bring the thoughtful people of the two races.

" A bas relief upon the monument tells thu Blory of Gunoral Washington receiving the pet Mon of the Ill-fated young olllcer after Ills capture , telling how he wantcJ. death to come. There Is the customary tablet , and OT it jou may read the English estimate o. ' one cf the best known -cha actors of the war of the revolution. It tclis of his 'being ralKCd by his own meilt at an early period of his life to the rank of adjutant general of the Hrltish forces In America , of his implojment "In an important and h.yardous cntCivrlse in which he fell , a bacrlflce lei Ills zeal for his king and his country. " of how uphersally he was beloved and esteemed by the ainiy : In which he served , and lamented even by his foes , and how his grac.our sovereign , King George III , caused the monument to be erected. An'rp was ex ecuted on the second day of October , 1780 , end his remains were taken fiom their rest ing place at Tappan by James Buchanan English consul at Now York , and removed to England. Andie lies a few feet frmn. the monument In Westminster. Mis body was taken up on the 10th of August , 1821 , and under the slow sea time sailing of those days , did not reach its ! st resting place in England until the 28th of November.
