WINDOW FOR CHAPEL
Hospital Staffs Gift A stained-glass window, lectern and pulpit Bibles, a grant for 50 hymn books, a lectern, and £lOO for carved, oak doors, as well as cash gifts of more than £5O, have been, given for the new chapel to be built at Burwood Hospital. Much more remains to be paid for. however. and the organising committee hopes that the whole cost of the furnishings will be contributed before the chapel is opened. Tenders for the building are now being considered by the Health Department, and it is hoped the chapel will be completed before the end of this year. The window presented—one of eight in the chapel—was given by members of the hospital staff. It is a double window, portraying Christ as the Good Shepherd on the left-hand panel and of Christ with a group of children on the right-hand panel. Above each half is a small round window with the symbols respectively of a lamb and a dove.
Necessary to the chapel at its opening, but not yet provided for, are kneelers for the pews and the communion rail, a cloth and linen for the altar, and cubboards in which each denomination will keep its altar furnishings.
