In his address to the confirmation candidates, the bishop explained briefly the origin and _ meaning nI confirmation, tracing it back to the first confirmâ€" ation services recorded in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. "This ancient service has been in use in the Christian church for nearly two thousand years," remarked the bishop, "and the rite of confirmaâ€" tion as administered throughout the Anglican communion is one of The distinguishing marks of the continuity of our historie church from apostolie days; you should all be proud of its heritage." The wolemn act of the "Laying on of Hands" was preceded hy the singâ€" On the whole the situation is pretty good but comes now some reports from the other side of the ]egger that are not exactly emâ€" ‘broidered with hearts and flowers. The ancient and beautiful service of confirmation was preceded by the dedication of three memorial hanging sanctuary lamps, finely executed in hand beaten brass. ‘These were presented to the Sufâ€" fragan Bishop of Toronto by the Rector in the following words: "The sanctuary lamps which are to be dedicated at this time .have been given in proud and loving memory of the following men, former members of this church, who made the supreme sacrifice whtile serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the second World War, 1939â€" 1945: Donald Roy Beardall, Henry Bruce Lawrence and Charles Ashâ€" ton Keown. "These lights, given by the members of their families, will . burn perpetually in this Church of St. John as a lasting memorial to these brave young men who gave their lives that the sacred light of freedom, justice and truth might ever shine among men. My Lord Bishop: On behali of the donors and the rector and churchwardens and congregation of St. John‘s church, I ask you to dedicate â€" these memorial gifts." The dedicatory prayers were folâ€" lowed by the singing of the hymn, All available space in the church was crowded with worshippers on Palm Sunday morning while many, we regret to say, were unable to gain Admission to one of the most impressive services held in St. John‘s church. As a reward for this excellent coâ€"operation, the boys down at Weston‘s Tammany Hall are whisâ€" pering of a vague rumour to the effect that we may soon have a new garbage and per collector similar to those ’lf;aronto models that look like the handâ€"meâ€"down version of a Sherman tank. As a further encouragement â€" to _ conâ€" tinued negtness, there is also talk of some new sewers to be installed in the town and also of a new sideâ€" walk to be laid on the north side of Lawrence Ave. Spring is here now, young men are turning fancy and so on. As a result, a request has come in that before summer gets too far advanced the people of the town might haul out a few tools and hack some yardage off the foliage decorating their front lawns. Seems the lowâ€"flying branches of the trees in many local front yards are a constant threat to anyone over four feet tall. .

There‘s no doubt about it. "Sweet Marie" is not the belle of the streets that she used to be. The spring breezes have also subsided to a certain‘extent which certainly lowers the danger of a threatened silicosis epidemic. We heard down at the town hall the other day that the wind sitmation was so bad earlier this season that it was either a case of paying out money to have Main street reâ€" treaded or else paying it out to have someone go out around the town with a broom and shovel with the object in view of collecting it and bringing it back where it belonged. \ mm‘ â€" Confirmation and Dedication Of Sanctuary Lamps At St. John‘s Things are looking up it appears with regards to this Weston street situation.

Since _ demobilization _ of the Armed Services began, the rropcr- tion of exâ€"service personnel to all technical personnel visiting the Bureau has steadily increased.

WEST YORK‘$ NEWSY WEEKLY" Woodbridge ‘ Westmount . Humber Heights Authorities agree that when a boy has no special interests to occupÂ¥ his spare time, other than those which may develop in his neitghbourhood from day to day, he is far.more apt to fall in with mf% chievious company than if he ha some interesting objective to think about and work for. Usually the progpect of having to compete with Leaders in the business and proâ€" fessional life of Canada take a special ‘interest in the Navy Lelâ€" gue‘s Sea cadet movement because they are convinced that the syllabus of training fits a boy for civilian life ‘and at the same time equips him for greatest usefulness to%im- self and his country in the event of war. It is well known that many a man was able to save himself and others, during the recent war, beâ€" cause of such training. ‘"The plan is not a fiy-by-night venture," stated Mr. Garret, "all 102 Solid Brick Homes Planned For Scarlet Roadâ€"Veterans Only Peel County Will Ask Liquor Option Vote Sea Cadet Corps To Be Expanded In Weston Observe Good Friday Right Attend The Church Services Canadian Legion Ask County Council For Plebiscite On Canada Temperant Actâ€"‘"We Will Fight," Says Peel County Temperance Federation Proficiency, Initiative Are Cited As Traits Of Good Cadetâ€"â€"Citizens Asked To Aid Navy League in Sponsorship Of New Sea Cadet Program ; Good Friday is for the Christian the solemn and sorrowful commemoration of the death of Our Lord upon the Cross. It forms a striking test for the reality of our religion. If we are found in church on this solemn day, seeking to bring home to ourselves in the presence of God what our sins have helped to do to God‘s Son, and desirâ€" ing to offer Him some sincere expression of repentance for our share in His Passion, then we can indeed feel that our religion means something to us. But if we spend Good Friday in ease and pleasure, if it is only another holiday to us, then our religion cannot mean very much to us. It is a much better test than our attendance in Church on Easter Day. For it has always been a rule of the Church that every communicant must make his or her communion on Easter, and either for this reason or from custom, it has ever been considered the proper thing to do to go to Church on Easter Day. But Good Friday.provides the better test, and besides, no one would want to see Our Lord dying on the Cross on Good Friday without being eager to meet Him, risen and glorified, in our Easter Communion.
