in which a number of men of national prominence ty took part. Colonel Roosevelt was described a man who had become one of the "immortals." The window. a superb production of English antique glass, reminiscent of the finest windows in thirteenth century English and French cathedrals, portrays outstanding events in the life of Elijah. the hero- prophet of Israel, as it was considered that the fearlessness and courage to assail evil in high places of prophet of old stamped him as the prototype of Roosevelt, great of the American people."
