312 FIRST CHURCH KM BOSTON. [1850-80. " The color decorations of the church, which are very carefully studied, and executed with great elegance, are quiet, but rich in effect, and carry out the general senti- ment of gravity and repose intended to be conveyed by the treatment of the whole interior. From the ends of the hammer-beams, and from the roof at the centre of the church, are suspended chandeliers of bronze and gold. . . . " The church contains one hundred and eighty-seven pews, provided... to accommodate nine hundred and fifty-five persons. It is heated and ventilated by steam." The chapel also has lately been enriched by two beautiful memorial windows. The subject of the one on the right as you enter from Marlborough Street is St. Christopher. This window was the gift of Miss Mary Anne Wales, in memory of Fanny Cabot Paine. The one on the left is " The Younor David," and is dedicated by his parents to the mem- ory of Gurdon Saltonstall. The farewell services in Chauncy Street church, on May 10, 1868, were attended by a large congre- gation.
