Back of the cartoon/sketch has Glasby’s Putney address.
However, the church’s actual windows are similar in style to Glasby but are by Jones & Willis of London, whose actual inscriptions are:- (l) “For this is my beloved Son”.
And (r) “Suffer little children”, but with a different design to Glasby.
Perhaps Glasby’s sketch was not accepted.
