Created in the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century by Melbourne stained glass manufacturer Ferguson and Urie, the Saint Bartholomew stained glass window may be found in Lady Chapel in the eastern transept of Christ Church Brunswick.
Saint Bartholomew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He is purported too have taken two missions; one to India and the other to Armenia. It was in the latter that Saint Bartholomew was executed. According to popular hagiography, the apostle was flayed alive and beheaded. According to other accounts he was crucified upside down with his head downward like Saint Peter. He is often depicted holding a knife, however it seems that Victorian middle-class morals stepped in when the window as made, and rather than holding something so gruesome, he is shown simply holding a partially opened book.
This window was erected by James Grice, eldest son of pastoralist, businessman, philanthropist and churchman Richard Grice. Richard was born on October the 30th 1813 in Cumberland, England. The son of William Grice and his wife Sarah, née Parke. he was born into a family who ran a private family bank in Cumberland, built on generations of his family who had begun as farmers in the area before becoming successful businessmen in Cumberland. Richard attended Walker's School in Whitehaven, and gained farming experience on one of his family's properties. However, in his mid twenties, Richard felt that his future did not lie in England, so he set sail to Australia in 1839. He arrived at Adelaide in September 1839 with shepherds and a business partner named Benjamin Heape. They did not stay in Adelaide, and journeyed east to Melbourne where Richard and Benjamin set up an importing and exporting business. Richard decided to explore the idea of pastoral opportunities in the Western District where he successfully raised and bred sheep, going on to become one of the most successful pastoralists in Australia. He expanded his pastoral holdings into Queensland. In 1844 Richard married the daughter of James Hibberson, Anne Lavinia. In 1847 they did a Grand Tour of Europe and then settled in the affluent Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. They had twelve children. Benjamin returned to England in 1852, so Richard entered into a partnership with Mr. T. J. Sumner, who had worked as a clerk within the original firm. Mr. Sumner's eldest daughter married Richard's son James, and the firm became known as Grice, Sumner & Co. The business flourished and by the mid 1870s the firm held vast grazing properties in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. Richard died at his home in Fitzroy on November the 4th 1882, survived by his wife and by three sons and four daughters.
Christ Church, built almost on the corner of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street in Brunswick, is a picturesque slice of Italy in inner city Melbourne. With its elegant proportions, warm yellow stuccoed facade and stylish Romanesque campanile, the church would not look out of place sitting atop a rise in Tuscany, or being the centre of an old walled town. This idea is further enhanced when the single bell rings from the campanile, calling worshipers to prayer.
Christ Church has been constructed in a cruciform plan with a detached campanile. Although not originally intended as such, at its completion, the church became an excellent example of "Villa Rustica" architecture in Australia. Like other churches around the inner city during the boom and bust eras of the mid Nineteenth Century as Melbourne became an established city, the building was built in stages between 1857 and 1875 as money became available to extend and better what was already in existence. Christ Church was dedicated in 1857 when the nave, designed by architects Purchas and Swyer, was completed. The transepts, chancel and vestry were completed between 1863 and 1864 to the designs created by the architects' firm Smith and Watts. The Romanesque style campanile was also designed by Smith and Watts and it completed between 1870 and 1871. A third architect, Frederick Wyatt, was employed to design the apse which was completed in 1875.
Built in Italianate style with overture characteristics of classical Italian country house designs, Christ Church is one of the few examples of what has been coined "Villa Rustica" architecture in Victoria.
Slipping through the front door at the bottom of the campanile, the rich smell of incense from mass envelops visitors. As soon as the double doors which lead into the church proper close behind you, the church provides a quiet refuge from the busy intersection of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street outside, and it is quite easy to forget that cars and trams pass by just a few metres away. Walking up the aisle of the nave of Christ Church, light pours over the original wooden pews with their hand embroidered cushions through sets of luminescent stained glass windows by Melbourne manufacturers, Ferguson and Urie, Mathieson and Gibson and Brooks Robinson and Company. A set of fourteen windows from the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century by Ferguson and Urie depicting different saints are especially beautiful, filled with painted glass panes which are as vivid now as when they were created more than one hundred years ago. The floors are still the original dark, richly polished boards that generations of worshipers have walked over since they were first laid. The east transept houses the Lady Chapel, whilst the west transept is consumed by the magnificent 1972 Roger H. Pogson organ built of cedar with tin piping. This replaced the original 1889 Alfred Fuller organ. Beautifully executed carved rood figures watch over the chancel from high, perhaps admiring the marble altar.
Albert Purchas, born in 1825 in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales, was a prominent Nineteenth Century architect who achieved great success for himself in Melbourne. Born to parents Robert Whittlesey Purchas and Marianne Guyon, he migrated to Australia in 1851 to establish himself in the then quickly expanding city of Melbourne, where he set up a small architect's firm in Little Collins Street. He also offered surveying services. His first major building was constructing the mansion "Berkeley Hall" in St Kilda on Princes Street in 1854. The house still exists today. Two years after migrating, Albert designed the layout of the Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton. It was the first "garden cemetery" in Victoria, and his curvilinear design is still in existence, unaltered, today. In 1854, Albert married Eliza Anne Sawyer (1825 - 1869) in St Kilda. The couple had ten children over their marriage, including a son, Robert, who followed in his father's footsteps as an architect. Albert's brother-in-law, Charles Sawyer joined him in the partnership of Purchas and Sawyer, which existed from 1856 until 1862 in Queens Street. The firm produced more than 140 houses, churches, offices and cemetery buildings including: the nave and transepts of Christ Church St Kilda between 1854 and 1857, "Glenara Homestead"in Bulla in 1857, the Melbourne Savings Bank on the corner of Flinders Lane and Market Street (now demolished) between 1857 and 1858, the Geelong branch of the Bank of Australasia in Malop Street between 1859 and 1860, and Beck's Imperial Hotel in Castlemaine in 1861. When the firm broke up, Albert returned to Little Collins Street, and the best known building he designed during this period was St. George's Presbyterian Church in East St Kilda between 1877 and 1880. The church's tall polychomatic brick bell tower is still a local landmark, even in the times of high rise architecture and development, and St, George's itself is said to be one of his most striking church designs. Socially, Albert was vice president of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects for many years, before becoming president in 1887. He was also an inventor and philanthropist. Albert died in 1909 at his home in Kew, a wealthy widower and much loved father.
The stained glass firm of Ferguson and Urie was established by Scots James Ferguson (1818 – 1894), James Urie (1828 – 1890) and John Lamb Lyon (1836 – 1916). They were the first known makers of stained glass in Australia. Until the early 1860s, window glass in Melbourne had been clear or plain coloured, and nearly all was imported, but new churches and elaborate buildings created a demand for pictorial windows. The three Scotsmen set up Ferguson and Urie in 1862 and the business thrived until 1899, when it ceased operation, with only John Lamb Lyon left alive. Ferguson and Urie was the most successful Nineteenth Century Australian stained glass window making company. Among their earliest works were a Shakespeare window for the Haymarket Theatre in Bourke Street, a memorial window to Prince Albert in Holy Trinity, Kew, and a set of Apostles for the West Melbourne Presbyterian Church. Their palatial Gothic Revival office building stood at 283 Collins Street from 1875. Ironically, their last major commission, a window depicting “labour”, was installed in the old Melbourne Stock Exchange in Collins Street in 1893 on the eve of the bank crash. Their windows can be found throughout the older suburbs of Melbourne and across provincial Victoria.
Area I expecting and new parents meet at the Camp Casey Community Activity Center June 2, 2012, for a Baby Shower. Various garrison activities had boothes where they passed out information. Dads-to-be were given a chance to see what it was like to be pregnant with the "empathy belly". Both parents also got the chance to see who could change their "baby's" diaper and try to guess the flavor of baby food. U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth
Visiting Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Newark, Ohio with my parents while I was in town for a wedding. A lot of old, interesting graves, and a lot of names that I recognize from around town. A lot of Newark's major families from the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th Centuries are there.

Several weeks ago my granddaughter's pet rats, Elvira and Throckmorton, had babies.
I know a lot of people dislike rats but they make wonderful pets. They're cute, they're very smart and trainable, and they're quite affectionate.
"They've got the resorts done up ever so nice over there".
This was probably the sort of thing my mother was referring to. I've no idea where this was (perhaps someone can identify it) but that's my mother down in the bottom left corner.

The two most essential people in our lives are our parents. They are perhaps the people who play the most crucial role in our life. They remain our constant companion throughout the journey of our life, from the day we are born to the day when they take their last breath, they are always there for us and to provide us with all the love and support we need. Parents are the ones who teach us the most crucial things of life and give us the support we need to grow up to become the best version of our self.
It is true that it is impossible for the children to function without the constant support of the parents. It is also true that there is a certain age till which it becomes important for the parents to provide all kinds of support to their child. This is the reason they are also the ones who tend to take most of the decisions on behalf of their children until they are grown up and responsible for making the decisions regarding their life.

My dad had been working and stationed overseas since decades before my birth. He retired and returned to Hong Kong after my university graduation. I only saw my dad during Summer holidays, and Lunar new year, which means less than 4 months every year. I was far from being familiar with my dad and I am not very used to my father's presence upon his retirement. Yet the relationship between dad and son is somewhat beyond description and internal. I always know my dad is a very reliable, capable person who though is very naughty inside, he has granted six of us a very good living environment. In the years from 1980s to 2000s, he has paid more than 2 decades for our family, sacrificing personal life/joy and working alone in Nigeria, a remote country with chaos, instability and solitude.
My mum has been taking care of me every day since my birth until I moved to Hostel in University after the age of 20. I have been fully protected. I am the last kid of the family and I am always my mum's attention, at least before I admitted to university when she should finally feel a bit relieved on her 4th child. I have always been very stressed on academic or self performance in every exam or kinds of competitions, and thus my mum seldom needs to push me to study. Instead, her hard job should be trying to make her tensed son smile and relaxed. Although there is little my mum can really help practically, she is the only one, except totoro, I could talk to during my teenage period.
In a flash, time passed and I am no longer young, which also implies my aging parents also reach the elderly period. In the transiency of life we could hardly grasp anything, and we shall always learn to appreciate, to cherish, to focus, to remember what and whom really mean to us.
