Towns- hend; newly consecrated Suffrag- an Bishop of Huron, conducted the ; Order of Confirmation or "Laying -on -of -Hands" for 17 . can- didates at St. James Church, Mid- dleton, on Friday evening, Decem- ber 22. It was to this church that the Bishop's parents brought him for infant : baptism and therefore very fitting that he return thence for his first official act, as Suf- fragan Bishop. • The fallowing candidates were presented, to the Bishop by the rector, The Rev. Warren S. Out- erbridge, B.A.: John Stuart, Jain - es Rouat, Douglas - J. Carswell, Wilfred J. Heard, Joseph W. _Heard, David Corrie, -Alice M. Hall, Edna May Cole, Ethel I. Cole, John T.

The Bishop was assisted also in the service by his old friend The Rev. Ronald M. P. Bulteel, of St. Paul's Church, Clinton. The Rev: A. C. Jennings was to have --acted as Bishop's Chaplain at this service and it was a mat- ter of keen regret to the Bishop that illness prevented' Mr. Jenn- ings'being present. He was rec- tor at St. James in the early 1900's. " • The Bishop' preached a very im- pressive sermon •on the text as found in St. Mark's account, chap- ter two of the man sick of the palsy, • which was borne of four and let down in -his bed through the roof. He chose this text as he remembered the Rev. Jennings preaching on it in this same church nearly 50 years ago." • "I present this story to my first confimation class as a challenge, a challenge to do good and be good," he said. "The four men who bore the palsied one set out to perform a task and did it nob- ly, These men believed that the Master could heal. They also had a spirit of daring and initiative.'. They co-operated in a good com- mon cause and also had the fine quality of persistence." "Wheat the crowds' pressed in on Chrtist, why did they not fall back and let the four men in with the sick one?" Townsend queried. "Either they -were so selfishly ab sorbed in thenrselves•that they did n't grasp the situation or else they were indifferent to the needs of those less fortunate, But they persisted." Bishop Townshend paid great tribute to those who encouraged bis boyhood desire to be a minis- ter of God. First of all his moth- er, who taught hilar to persist, saying, " to despair is treachery."

Jeakins installed his "ploughboy" . as a Canon of St. Paul's, Cathedral, London. . "To return to the four men," went on the speaker, "Christ saw their faith and healed the sick. man.

"We are sons of God through Me Cross se God mast' be Lord of our time, our thoughts, talents and substance, consciousness of, this would _ clear up the 'world's problems." One of the weaknesses of our educational system is that empha- sis isput on getting rather then on giving," he went on, "Bishop Stringer said; 'success •hi life is only the by-product of doing one's, Christian duty day by day.'
