THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY preached twice at All
Saints' Church on Sunday to large oongregations. In
the morning his lordship chose for his text Deuteronomy
vi. 3 and deduced therefrom a lesson of [guidance and
of warning for the Church in the present day ; and in
the evening the Bishop preached from Psalm iii., 1
founding thereon a discourse on thankfulness. In the
&Hermon his lordship administered the holy rite of
confirmation to 34 young persons-22 females and 12

that occasion the number of males preponderated.
