Bishop Fallon Administers The Sacrament to Class at St. Joseph's Church. The sacrament of Confirmation was administered at St. Joiseplh's•churcls last Thursday.afternoon by the Rt. Rev. M. F. Fallon, D, D,, Bishop of London, to 22 candidates. After the opening services His Lord- ship questioned the children who were about to be coniirnsed on their Christ- ian doctrine, and the promptness with which they answered reflected Much credit on the local pastor, Rev, Fr. ifogan. They have studied faithfully for sometime past and there was not one boy or girl in the 22 that could not answ r a quc•aion put by His Lordship. The Bishop warmly congratulated the children on their knowledge of their Catholic doctrine and cautioned then( never to fall away from it, but with the aid of prayer ask God to strengthen them to keep it. His Lord- ship also asked the parents of the child- ren to pray for their boys and girls "to make theta all that you want then( to be noble, constant and fervent members of the Catholic church, and 10 prepare them for a gialious t.1s trance into the Kingdon) of Heaven." After conferring the sacrament upon all the candidates, the Bishop gave them 'a short instruction. Bishop Fal- len has held many a large audience breathless by his eloquent speaking. He has the same power over the chil- dren by his plain speaking. F?e also cautioned them to say their morning and evening prayers, as the failure to do this, he said, is the begin- ning of the falling away from religion, Go to mass on all Sundays and holy days of obligation, and go to confes- sion and communion frequently. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was then sung by Rev, Fr. Corcoran, of Seaford', as a conclusion to the Service. Rev. Fr. McRae, of Goderich, and rev 1-r. Fallon. of \';Ingham also assi^te•t a1 the Altar. ,11t, and Mrs. L:,l;eau acted as spud. ',,urs for the children. REV. E. G. POWELL GOING TO LONDON Rev. E. G. Powell, who has been atL- ing as Joint field secretary for the counties of Huron and Perth in con- nection with temperance work and the enforcement of the Canada'Tenhperauce Act for the last three years, has resign- ed.
