This window was presented on June 24, 1945, by Lady Baillie in tribute to her three sons who served in the Second World War. Designed by Peter Haworth, this window depicts six biblical stories: Lazarus and the Rich Man; the Prodigal Son; the Good Shepherd; the Pharisee and the Publican; the Sower in the Field; and the Good Samaritan.
In the first panel, the upper medallion illustrates the story of Lazaurs and the Rich Man. The lower part portrays the decision of the Prodigal Son to return home. Between the medallions is the Crown of Eternal Life. Placed in the window-head is the lamp - symbol of faith, and the tower - symbol of strength.
The upper medallion of the center panel illustrates the parable of the Good Shepherd. In the lower part, the Pharisee and the Publican are pictured. Between these is the Baillie crest. The star representing guidance, and the sword and breastplate representing the armour of righteousness are pictured in the window-head.
In the third panel, the upper medallion portrays the Sower of the Field. Jesus' exhortation to do as the Good Samaritan has done is depicted in the lower part. Between these is the Book, representing the word of God. On the left side of the tracery is the cross and crown of thorns, in the center is the dove or the Holy Spirit of God. To the right, the resurrection is depicted as a phoenix. These symbols are superimposed on the rainbow, symbol of hope.
In tribute to the three sons of Lady Baillie, the bases of the window represent their three services and have commemorative inscriptions. The left panel represents the 48th Highlanders, the Volunteer Reserve is in the center and the right panel represents the Royal Air Force Ferry Command. Aubrey Baillie (born July 6, 1908 – died July 4, 1992) was part of the 48th Highlanders of Canada and was honourably discharged with the rank of captain. Frank W. Baillie (born November 4, 1913 – died December 27, 1980) was a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force with the rank of captain. In 1943, he was seconded to the De Havilland Company as an officer in charge of their flight testing program. James W. “Jim” Baillie (born December 1, 1919 – died May 12, 2012) was a lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy.
