Bishop Dubois administered the rite of con-
tirmation to sixty candidates. In very inter
esting sermon precedingthe ceremony, Bishop
Dubois argued from the scriptures that con-

very Interesting sermon, which was listened
to with marked interest. His theme WAS the
immaculate Conception ofthe blessed Virgin
Mary, which dogma WAS proclaimed twenty
six years ago. Father Thion is pleasant,
captivating speaker and his sermons are al
ways listened 10 with interest by his congre-
