C In `__'_`a'ddressing -- the ` .oonlirmation class of twenty oandidates.:the-.Bishop-spoke oi the importance of*the step. they were talking and the. rellgious_ duties consequent on con- rmation, He` urged fhem to be faithful intheir duties to. the church which they had` chosen and the best way to ensure this `service is to be consistent Christians It was not enough for them to be members of the church militant, they must also become members of the Church of Christ, which includes all persons who embrace the faith ofthe Lord Jesus Christ. In referring to the Book of Common Prayer the Bishop said that the prayers in that book are not modern. as some persons state, but are of_ most ancient origin. having been translated from the classic language into `English. He stated that the conrmation prayer had its origin about the year . 460. A D. It is " Defend, '0 Lord, this Thy servant with Thy Heavenly ' grace that he may continue Thine forlever, and daily increase in Thy `Holy Spirit more and more. until he come. into Thy Everlasting Kingdom. Inciden- tally the Bishop reterred to the union of Church and State years ago, and said that the Government of to day owes most of its good features to the time before the union was broken , sr. anoncn s CHURCH. Long before seven o'clock on - Sunday evening St. George s church, Allandale, was packed to the doors and manyecould not nd admission. The Con"irmation class in this chu ch numbered thirty-ve and were addressed by the Bishop on The Power of Choice. The gift of free will. the speaker contended,- is one of God's `great gifts to man, but it is also one of the most danger- ous as God has left the matter of choice entirely in man's own hands but offers the guidance of his Holy Spirit tothem who seek it. The danger of choosing the bitter instead of the sweet is recognized by parents and guardians whochoosefor their children but the child must come to ears of discre tion when he must choose or himself, not only in temperance matters, but also in spiritual. Conrmation assumes that per~ sons seeking to be conrmed have chosen the church in which they will worship, a very important matter in these days. That churchmanship is very insincere and unstable, said the Bishop, which arises from merely being born inthe church, To be lasting It must be a result of deliberate choice." Other denominations will say that their method of worship is more conform- able than others to Scripture, and then a young man of woman will be compelled to make a choice. if not before. The Bishop urged them to consider the Church or Eng- land in the light of.God s word and see if its` worship is not based thereon. They should also consider the historical claims of the church. It is not a modern institution brou ht into existence in the reign of Henry VII , but is a continuance of. that branch of the Church immediately subsequent to the time oi the twelve apostles. They should be faithful too in their allegiance to the Church of their choice. This demands of them diligent and regular attendance, takihg part with heart, and voice in the service, devout demeanor, sharing the work of the church, strengthening the hands of the pastor and regular partakers of the sacrament. Of much greater. im ortance, however, is the question given to oshua of old, "Choose you this day whom ye will nnrun 9 url-nk nnnnthun in nlnn niun-an in than \lI\A `J IIII 39 UK VI-II \lID '7 II\IIII J 97 " III I serve? which question is also given to the people of today. No person is free from the law of service. You may be sure that a thousand seductive voices will seek to allure you from the path of true service, and you must publicly to-night forswear these saducers which may be classed under three heads-The World, The Flesh and The `Devil. Are you prepared to make such a renunciation? The`Bishop then reviewed the arguments and inducements these cue- mies o`er,,and showed that they are as nothing when compared with the blessings that result from the true service of Christ, viz., the new name, the heavenly inheritance and everlasting life. Only a decided and whole hearted choice is acceptable to Christ. It is impossible to serve Him and yet have a hankering after the_world. No man can serve two masters and no `person is more miserable than he who halts between two opinions. You will encounter a great deal of ridicule, concluded the Bishop; many -will say you'have been exceedingly foolish to` turn your back upon the world and its- pleasures ; but look forward to the end or to that day when true wisdom will be put to .a test, then all who have chosen Christ will nd they have chosen all things, and like many have chosen the good part which` shall never be taken away; yours will be the" happiest kind of life and as years roll /by" you will be more and- more thankful for the choice you have made.
