It is appropriate that James and John should share a window, for they were brothers, and along with Peter and Andrew were among the first to be called as disciples of our Lord (Mark 1:19). They seemed to have formed, along with Peter an inner trio who were closest to Jesus and who were alone with him during some of the momentous events in his ministry. (E.g. the Transfiguration, Gethsemane, etc.) James was the first of the apostolic band to suffer martyrdom, dying by the sword of Herod Agrippa (Acts 12:2). In this was partial fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy in Mark 10:39 that he and John would drink of the same cup as He Himself. A very small cup of chalice has been included in the border of the frame bearing James' picture. Early tradition pictures James as an itinerant missionary, and legend abounds with stories of his having founded numerous churches as far away as Spain. He is therefore usually represented, as here, with a traveler's staff in one hand and a copy of the Scriptures in the other. Another early symbol for this disciple is the scallop or sea shell, the reason for this being lost in antiquity. There are three such devices usually pictured together, as in our picture in the border of his cloak. Other scallops are present in the crown of his hat and at the very bottom of the picture beneath his feet.

James' brother, John, is often referred to in the scriptures as " the disciple whom Jesus loved," has named him as the author of the Forth Gospel, of three New Testament letters, and of the book of Revelation. Thus he is commonly portrayed with pen and scroll. Several legendary stories surround John. One concerns an attempt on the part of the Emperor Domitian to take his life by putting him into a cauldron of burning oil, from which he was miraculously delivered. Therefore he is sometimes symbolized by an eagle arising from a large vat or kettle. In our picture the kettle does not appear, but the eagle is to be found embroidered in the lower portion of John's cloak. The Cup, once again recalling Jesus' prophecy concerning these two disciples, appears at the bottom of the frame.

The quatrefoil of this final window in the New Testament section bears appropriately enough the picture of the risen ascending Christ, the Holy Spirit resting over his head in the form of a dove.

This window bears the following inscription: "In memory of Florence English Reynolds."
