(By our Bayfield correspondent)
At a most solemn and inspir-
ing service in Trinity Church,
Bayfield, on Sunday morning, the

sented eight candidates to the
Right Reverend W. T. Hallam,

Dalton Sturgeon, William James
Higgins, James Brown Higgins,
Harry Bosnell (Goderich), Fran-
ces Mary Jane Webb, Beverley
Louise Heard, Mrs. Agnes De-
lilaar Cameron, Mrs. Dorothy
Irene Hovey.
For his address, Bishop Hallam
chose the text: "There was much
joy in the city." The city was
Samaria, and the speaker re-
counted the history of the Jewish
and Samaritan feud. There was
joy because Phillip, one of the
new • Deacons went there to
preach; joy because of the Chris-
tian message, and joy because
Peter and John, sent down by
the church, held the first con-
firmation service in the city
which had been so despised by
Jews. His Lordship then pointed
out the joy which there should
be on this occasion in the homes
amongst the friends of the newly
confirmed; in the congregation
that new members had been re-
ceived into the full fellowship
of the church; in the hearts of
those confirmed; and joy among-
st the angels,
At the close of the service, the
candidates followed the Bishop
and the Rector out of the church
where they were welcomed in-
dividually by members of the
congregation as they left the
church.
Flowers on the altar and In
the sanctuary were placed there
to the glory of God and in mem-
ory of Dr. Tomas Gairdner and
Robert Hgpson.
