MEMORIAL WINDOW TO DR HARDY 305 



the parish, and by the minister and elders of the congre- 

 gation. He then asked the President of the Club to unveil 

 the window. 



Mr A. H. Evans, before unveiling the window, said : — I 

 feel it to be the greatest privilege to be permitted to unveil 

 this monument to Dr Hardy, the old friend of so many of 

 us assembled here to-day— as well as of many who greatly 

 regret their absence — and the kindly and energetic Secretary 

 of the Club, as we have just been reminded, for so long 

 a period. 



Having spoken these words, Mr Evans withdrew the 

 canvas covering, and exposed fully to view the beautiful 

 window, which represents Christ preaching and drawing 

 lessons from the lilies of the field. At the top are the 

 words, "The earth is full of Thy riches"; and at the foot, 

 "Consider the lilies of the field." Below the window is a 

 brass tablet on which is inscribed: — "Through Nature up 

 to Nature's God. This window is placed here by the 

 Berwickshire Naturalists' Club in loving memory of James 

 Hardy of Old Cambus, who was for 27 years Secretary 

 of the Club, and whose remains lie in the adjoining 

 churchyard. Obiit, 30th June 1898." The first sentence is 

 in red lettering, and the remainder in black, and there 

 are red lines round the tablet crossed at the angles. 



The window, which is of very chaste design, was supplied 

 along with the tablet by Mr Baguley, Newcastle-on-Tyne. 



After a short prayer from the Rev. H. M. Lamont, Miss 

 Dickson, the organist of the church, sang with fine effect, 

 "Consider the Lilies," her accompaniment being played by 

 Mrs Caverhill. 



After the congregation had sung hymn 206, "Blest be 

 the tie that binds," the proceedings were closed with the 

 Benediction, pronounced by the Rev. Dr Paul.
