Description:

This window is placed close to the entrance to the Sunday School Wing of the Church. It pictures Jesus in the Temple as a lad of twelve. It re-captures the moment when Joseph and Mary, after searching for their son, "sorrowing for three days", finally find Him. It is based on Luke 2:40–52 and sets forth the vital importance of teaching and learning. Sound instruction is symbolized by the doctors, and the inquiring mind of the alert boy who is "both listening to them and asking them questions."

The first word on the scroll that Jesus holds out is the word is anoki, which is the emphatic form of the first person 'I'. [Rev. Hugh Reid] Anoki is the first word of the Ten Commandments.

Several symbols of the Freemasons Society appear in the window, together with flowers and birds, representing interests of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Henry, in whose memory this window was dedicated. The symbols of the Freemasons include the temple itself, the blocks of stone, and across the top of the window, the compass and square, the pyramid, the letter 'G', and the all-seeing eye. The Freemasons use the tools, etc., of stonemasonry to symbolize their ethical and spiritual values.

In the lower corners of the window, the Scottish thistle and the trillium are given special prominence. The thistle is a reference to Scottish heritage and the trillium to Ontario, reflective of the Henry family's life and history. [Rev. Hugh Reid]
