L. L. H Downing, pastor of the church for S twenty-five years who was a native gi of Lexington, Va. The story of the j| window, and the man who was the g inspiration of the memorial, was g brought the One-Minute page yes- ?| terday by E. S. Pollard, who while jj| in Roanoke Times. This is the story, S should be added by U. D. C. his_ j torians to their history books: "Few monuments erected to com- g memorate the lives and deeds of B heroes have the significance and in- B terest for the people of this com- H munity and throughout the South as || the 'Stonewall" Jackson memorial B window in the Fifth Avenue Pres- H byterian church, colored, of this gj city, placed there in 1906, by the 3 Rev. L. L. Downing, pastor of the H church for the past twenty-five E years, who was assisted in the work ? by the church officers. "*M i y of the older residents of lgj Roanoke recall the widespread in- H terest that was awakened and the B , gag newspaper comment that was ex- |jg cited when the window was installed jgl and unveiled as a result of the g splendid spirit and untiring efforts J? on the part of the colored minister, jg Born in Lexington Dr. Downing was born in Lexing- j? ton only a few months before the M emancipation proclamation, ( where 5 he spent his childhood. His parents ft had been pupils in the Sunday school for colored people which X+oncrVi+ in tho T^ftxincton ?sl iiavnauit uu w ?* ?0 ? Presbyterian church during the jjf years that he served as professor at II the Virginia Military Institute. As jff a boy, Dr. Downing heard the |T praises of the great general from Hi the lips of the people, both white Hi and colored, throughout the com- jl munity. The little colored boy much H mpressed with the stories of the ?? ife and work of the great soldier, ?j| ind teacher and he came to regard hin AA | tioneru I ^ V sim H ere* WEKY 12 With It An ' Ijb fi boo) e work we H.the parent on m D I ^ son e do not , h wall ilicated ex- gjj batt notice any S!

The desire never left and tlje dtermination to exis in some way his personal apnation and gratitude was relied when as a student at Linuniversity one day he read a ? on Jackson's life an account of following incident: I uring the same week that Jack-1 was given the name of "Stone-' " by General Lee at the first1 le of * Manassas, it became on in Lexington that Di\ Wil-?i i S. White, then pastor of the' ington Presbyterian church, and ived a letter from the general se praises were being sung by whole countryside. Expecting to , some of the details of the great1 le and on account of how Jackand his men had managed to e the wonderful stand which won them imperishable fame, friends crowded in to learn the ir's contents.

Investmen I way dampened, however, and when he bcame pastor of the Roanoke church, the idea of a "Stonewall" Jackson memorial window came to him and later with the assistance of the officers of his church he was aible to realize his dream when the beautiful window was placed in the ' church and unveiled with an appropriate dedication service in 1906. J "Uncle" Jeff Shields ' I The chief address on that occasion was made by "Uncle" Jeff ^ Shields, General Jackson's body- j guard duirng the war. Other speak- j ers were the late Col. S. S. Brooks, ^ the late Henry Trout, w. apeedi and several other prominent citi-1 zens of Roanoke. The Confederate1 \ veterans of the city attended the exercises in a body. As a result of an Associate Press , c dispatch in regard to the evpnt ^ sent to many different newspapers, ^ Dr. Downing received letters from # 3 many parts of America and several j from England commending him for ^ his appropriate and beautiful tri- . bute to the gallant Confederate soldier. t The window is the central and ]( largest of a group of three windows j which occupy the most prominent j position in the street extension of ^ ^ the church. Dr. Downing himself was the designer, having drawn a pen sketch of the window from which the artist worked out the picture. The Pictu re The conception of the picture is literally based on the last words of that gallant Confederate soldier and Christian hero. Thomas Jonathan Jackson: "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees." The scene is one of the most beautiful in the famous Shennanrloah Valley of Virginia. In the background appear the Blue Ridge g Mountains, out of which flows aja [iieauuciiijg Miecun, wiucuiug as it | o :ourses its way toward the sea. On j u the left bank, a short space from J c :hc gently rising foothills, is seen a I li ;ypical Virginia log cabin, in the J a ioor of which stands the farmer's j t; .vife with milk and delicacies for I si :he sick, typical of the hospitality A for which every true Virginian is IV <nown.
