Just as Isaiah and Daniel represent in our windows the major prophets, so Amos and Hosea represent the minor prophets. Amos stands with a crook in his hand, symbolic of the shepherd's way of life from which he was called to be a prophet of the Lord (Amos 1:1). This symbol is repeated in the diamond above his head, and is there surrounded by his telling words, "righteousness like a mighty stream"(Amos 5:24). It is this phrase which, more than any other, described the prophetic message of Amos, namely: the worship of God is empty and vacant, no matter how elaborate it may be or with whatever punctuality it may be observed, unless it demands of the worshiper a spirit of charity and justice to all his fellow men.

Hosea has often been called the "tragic prophet", because it was through personal calamity, marriage to an unfaithful wife, that God spoke to him. His own suffering, Hosea realized, must be very much like that of God Himself who had taken Israel for His own, had guided her and protected her, only to find Himself deserted by her in favor of false and petty gods. Hosea's message, therefore, was two-fold: God still loved Israel (thus the words above his head, "I will love them freely,"Hosea 14:4). But he would tolerate no idolatry or false loyalties on their part and would by force if necessary, destroy the objects of their faithlessness (thus the symbol of the broken idol in the upper diagram).

The quatrefoil at the top of the window pictures Moses and behind him the surging waters of the Red Sea. Thus with this final window of the west wall, the cycle of Old Testament history is made complete.

This window was dedicated in honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Robertson.
