Suffragan Bishop Confirms
17 At Middleton Church
(By' Grace, Middleon)
The Rt. Rev: William A. 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. Cole, Sybil Anne
Wise, John William South, Robert.
James Smith, William John Smith,
Joel R. Larson, Jean Turner, Wil-
fred John Turner.
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."
He expressed his happiness in re-
turning to his native County of
Huron and also paid great tribute
to the late Dean Jeakins, who en -
