JoITN'9rBlellOp Baldwin conducted an interesting Oon• flrmation service in St. John's church, Brnaeele, on Tuesday evening of this week. Owing to the reverend .gentleman missing the morning train it was neces- sary to send 6 conveyance to Blyth to meet him on the arrival of the evening train from London. This necessarily threw the service considerably later than was arranged for. The introductory part of the exercises wee conducted by the rector, Rev. Mr. Abey, and on the ar• rival of the Bishop a very profitable ad• dress was given on the Confirmation prayer ae outlined for these occasions viz, :—"Defend, 0 Lord, this Thy servant with Thy heavenly Grace, that he may continue Thine forever ; and daily in• ore6se in Thy Holy Spirit more and more, until he come unto Thy everlasting Kingdom." The threeoints dwelt upon were (1) Purchase ; (2) Obedience ; (8) Maintenance. Thirty candidates then received the rite of confirmation at the hands of the Bishop, the olaee Consisting of 28 females and 7 males. After this solemn duty Bishop Baldwin spoke wise, fatherly and very practical wordf to the class and congregation generally on im- portant duties if growth is to be made in Christian life, (1) Read the Scriptures, regularly and eyetematioally ; (2) Prayer, social and private, as a heart or home without prayer is nothing lees than pagan ; (3) Go out with the creed "I be- lieve in Jesus Christ,"—pact, present and future. It was nearly 11 o'olook when the service was brought to a oouolueion. There wee a large congregation present and every one should be the better of be. ins there. Rev.
