CONFIRMATION SERvICEs.-The Rt. Rev.
Bishop Johns, of tho Diocese oe Virginia,
made an episcopal visit to Zion Church, in
this place, last week, and on Tuesday admin
istered the right of confirmation to class of
'thirty-fve candidates. Services commenced
at L o'clock, A. NJ, and after an able and
appropriate sermon by the venerable Bishop,
the confirmation services proper took place.
When the large class of candidates presented
themselves at the alter, in the presence Of one
of the largest congregations that has ever oc-
cupied Zion Church, the spectacle was indeed
touching and impressive. There, fronting
the aged man of God, were the child of
youthful years, the young man and maiden.
tho middle-agcd, and the old man with locks
whi'cned by the frosts of age-all standing
ut the portals of the visible Church Of God,
awaiting the bcnedicton of the minister of
Christ, and az the good Bishop proceeded
with the laying Of hands and invoked the
blessing of Heaven upon each, tears of iny
might have been glistcning in tl,e ewes
of more than of the vast throng of wit
ncssc< around. The services throughout were
b autifn aud appropriate, and doubtless inn
ipressed tho hearts of many.
