"rile iirchbishOp's Address -
Archbishop Seiger chose as his, text,
"God is. 1c3ve,' 1 John 4:8:
It is necessary at all thiteS that
our ideals and understanding should
he clear-cut, he said. The young
people today, seem to- need a- clarifica-
tion of 'what is meant. by Christianity.
It is So easy to be vague. For -every
communicant to be a .theelegian would
create something impasible. Con-
fusion of thought on all subjects 1S
all. too prevalent today and one of the
most extraordinary things is that
people look everywhere for alie mani-
festation of God's love except as re-
vealed in Jesus Christ.
The love of God,. the Archbishop
continued, means , something definite
to each believer, but there. are broader,
aspects -to it. It means' broadly and
generally that God has a purpose for
all " his people, individnally and col-
lectively, for the higheSt good. Christ's
life was lived to do the WilIlof God.
The very „..1a,St word He spoke, "It is
tiniSlied,' -was a cry of triumph, and
revealed that He had aeconiplisned
what He set out to do. .
The love, of God is not the equivalent
of passion, easy going, or indulgent.
Nothing great can .be accomplished in
this world, without painand loSs and
conflict, declared the Archbishop.
"When 1 hear people say 'Why -does
God allow' these things?' 1 know thit
they. do ,110,t, understand that God's
love is really the development' of 'His
plans " for us, and that any tribulation
is a small thing as 6ompared with His
purposefor behind it is His almighty
power... . . It may be God hits h pur-
pose in each one of you. In -the Church
of (led today, there are challeuges for
ministries, in the priesthood and in
women's work. The highest VOCafi011
of :Man Is to 'lire .his life naturally.
.We others with special: -callings., are
just. jobbers. V is deeply necessary
you should -have a very dear ,con:
viction of. faith, and, iinderlying all,
an understanding' of what is meant
-theleve"of-God-as-applied-t
Make it the motto of your, life."
After the coxifirination "hymn, "Ceine,
GraciouS *pirit, Heavenly Dove" was
sung, the cereniony a laying .6n of
hands was perforined by the dis-
tinguished ehittehnian who.' as a boy
was eonflrined in tile same
A large -congregation was Preient.

., Scarcity of •seap,'" too, is being felt
here. The • shortage is attributed to
the fact that only eighty .per cent. of

the picture. ' .•
Another -article necessary for house-
