Messrs. Normeni and George

1922. They have certainly chosen
the right machine to take them
there safely. The Ford is capable
of making good lime through the
valleys and can also climb the
mountains.

CONFIRMATION AT OR ACE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH. "
The Right Reverend Jos. Blount
Cheshire, D. D., Bishop of the
Diocese of North Carolina, made
his official visitaiion to Grace
church on Sunday last. The Rec
tor, the Rev. Charles F. Westman,
presented twelve candidates, who
made their public confession of faiih
and obedience before God's altar,
to the Lord Jesus as their Saviour
and Redeemer and thereupon re
ceived from the Bishop the Apos
tolic rite of confirmation or laying
on of hands which signifies the fall
ing of God's Spirit upon ihem,
enabling them by Divine grace to
be true and faithful Christians.
Confirmation is not "joining ihe
Episcopal Church or becoming an
Episcopalian. That is done or
takes place at Holy Baptism. The
laying on of hands is the occasion
in the Church of God where pub
lic confession of Christ is made
and grace is imparted to keep the
Christian pledge." '
The Bishop preached a most in
structive sermon on "the things
pertaining to the Kingdom of Goo"
from Acts 8.12. The Bishop ex
pressed himself as greatly pleased
with the work of the Rector of
Grace church.
