 Bishop Williams confirmed six per sons. Sunday evening. after preaching most solemn and eloquent discourse, This Iirst antumnal Sunday evening was 2 most. beautiful one,o and .the' crowded chureh--the serious, appealing faces Oi the young, people kneeling ,at the altai putting on the armor of God to fight the battle of life-the helpful tenderness de- picted in the eyes of parents and friends made the scene most impressive. The Bishop with the strong. graceful touch of muster gave us the first autunnal re. frain. but he did not mingle with it. oul murmur of regret that with the summer brightness he also leaves us. We shall not forget him, associated as he is with this genial life, made fresher and stronge by his presence, and hope that these 'au tumual days, laden with pleasant reccol lections may also garner up experience and hopes to fit us for a better world,
