Window dedication
At the Parish Church
The beautiful stained glass window erected in the North wall of the Parish Church in memory of the late Hon. Jane C. Burns was dedicated at morning service on Sunday. The Rector the Rev. C. H. N. Ivens the churchwardens (Messrs H. J. Windle and C. J. Stone), and the choir marched up the north aisle to the window singing the Hymn “For all the saints who from their labours rest” After dedicatory prayers had been said, the ordinary service was proceeded with, and the Rector in an appropriate sermon, explained the meaning of the window, which represents the victory of the saints over suffering he referred by means of extracts from speeches and quotations from newspapers, to the love and esteem in which Miss Burns had been held by all who knew her, and more especially by the sick and poor of Glasgow. Her nine long years of illness were sympathetically touched upon, and extracts from letters written by the deceased lady showed her love and in nature, and showed her courage under the affliction of ill health. That courage, said the rector was not a cold hard stoical courage it was combined with a tender regard for the convenience of others. She seemed to radiate sympathy, and when she died one wrote, “The poor crippled children of Glasgow have lost their best friend” The motto of her house was “Ever Ready”. And she was ever ready with her help and sympathy in every good object.
The window bears the inscription “To the glory of God, and in loving memory of Jane Cleland Burns, second daughter of the first Baron Inverclyde of Castle Wemyss, born July 7th 1865, fell asleep in Jesus, July 13th 1909
Her courage and joyous spirit through much suffering and her ever ready sympathy left a noble example. This window is placed here by her sister, Mary Hay Corfield, and her brother- in- law Claud Evelyn Lacey Corfield Rector of this parish.
Above the figures of the saints and Martyrs represented, is a group of angels with a scroll bearing the inscription “These are they which came out of great tribulation”
