Confirmation at Christ Church Yester-
day-The Bishops SermOn-His Visits
During the Week.
Notwithstanding the inclemency Of the
weather, a large number of wOrshipers
assembled in Christ Church yesterday
morning. The presence of Bishop Beck
with, who oficiated during the services,
attracted an unusually large cOngrega-
ton. The Bishop was assisted by the Rev.
Thomas Boone, rector of the church. The
Epistfe and Collect, appropriate
to SeXagesima Sunday, were read,
and sixteen candidates for
confirmation presented themselves and
were received into the fellowship of the
church. The services connected with
administration of the rite We're very i'm
preSsiVe. A sermon, appropriate to the
occasion. was delivered by Bishop Beck
with, who took for his text the 18th verse
Of the 9TH chapter Of the First Epistle of
st. John, the reading OF which is in the
following words:
"And this is the confidence that we have in
Him, that. If we ask anything according to
His Will. He heareth u.s.
The Bishop in his discourse showed the
efficacy of prayer, when made in the right
spirit, and reviewed the objections which
have been advanced, especially by sci
entists. as to its influence and power. In
his argument he impressed his hearers
with the necessity of having faith in the
Lord, and of having belief that if we
asked anything according to His will that
he would hearken unto our prayers. He
then explained what the Divine will was
according to the teachings of Scripture,
as expressed in the New Testament, and
said that Him to whom prayers were offer
ed was the judge whether they should be
answered or not. The discourse was ex-
ceedlngly instructive and eloquent, and
deeply interested the assemblage from
first to last.
Some Of the candidates who were to
have been confirmed were unable to be
present on account of recent illness and
the condition Of the weather, but the
Bishop gave notice that they would be
confirmed before his departure from the
city. The Bishop will administer the rite
of confirmation this week to candidates
in the Ogeechee parish, and will Oficiate
next Friday at st. Matthew's Church, and
next Sunday morning at st. Johns
Church. Next Sunday evening the rite
of confirmation will be administered to
candidates in st. Stephens Church, col

INSTRUMENTATION OFFICIALS.

General Manager Morse, of the Bruns-
wick and Western, Denies that its Cen
eral Ohicers Receive Extravagant sala-
ries.
WThe readers of the MORNING NEWS Will
remember the article in a recent issue
relative to the charge made by the Bruins
wick Herald that the Railroad Commits
sioners were highway robbers and the re-
tort OF a Commissioner who incidentally
made the statement that the Brunswick
and Western Railroad was paying ex-
travagant salaries TO its general officers.
Learning that Mr.. b. 5. Morse, General
Manager Of the road, was in the city,
MORNING News reporter called upon BIN
Yesterday at the Pulaski House in refer
ence TO the matter.
rs it a fact" asked the reporter, that
the Brunswick and Western Is paying the
enormous salaries indicated in the non
official statement made by one OF the
Railroad Commissioners, as reported IN
the Atlanta correspondence OF the NEWS
of the 15th:'
NO. SIR" was the reply. ION the con-
trarv. our salaries are less than those
paid bv other roads. l suppose that the
commissioner has been misled by an eX-
preston which was used by us in our
monthly reports to the commission,
wherein the total expenses of general Of
fees were rendered under the term of sala-
ries OF general officers"
To what particular account was ap-
piled the sum of $24,60I which the COM
missioner stated to be the amount of the
salaries of Your general officers for the
months Of June, July, August and sep
TENDER, 1882"
That amount comprises the salaries Of
our general officers, the heads of all de-
partments and their clerical forces. The
total of actual salaries paid to general
officers for the months named, was 50, IA.
"a. and this also includes the President,
Vice President, General Manager, General
Superintendent, General Freight and Pas
seneer Agent, Auditor, Secretary and
Treasurer, Chief Engineer and the Pay
master This shows a balance Of SIS, o32
06 for the four months, against the state
ment Of the commissioner
What was the cost OF operating road
durin- those four months"
"Our operating expense for those months
was JS34 per cent. of the earnings. This
fact. in itself, is f1agrantly contrary 10 the
undue generosity of which the manage
meut has been accused in the
salaries or other extravaganza,
and is so much in keeping
with the economy practiced by all rail-
roads. that | am inclined to believe that
the unofficial expression or charge made
by commissioner was without due con-
sderati0n."
Mr.. Morse expressed his earnest con-
victiOn that the Brunswick and Western
has a destiny in the commerce and pros
perity Of Georgia which will enable it to
afford the payment of much better sala-
rIes than 1t can to-day, but scarcely hopes
to reach the figures indicated by a COM
missioner.

shop Girls in Domestic Life.


A Lancashire bachelor complains IN
local paper that all the mice girls are
sent nowadays to assist in shops. nay s-
ing but limited income, he wants WlIe
who has some knowledge OF houseihoIo
management and work, whereas t9ese
''young ladies' are only accomplished III
the art of selling goods across the coH IN
ter. Would it not be better. he ASKS ioF
their mothers to keep them at nome, IN IN
stead of hiring servants to do the WoTA 4
which they could quite as well perform :
That would, no doubt, save the wages oI
a domestic, but a shop assistant receives
considerably higher pay, and some loss o.
income would, therefore, plainly result
from adopting this plan. On the otner
hand, it is incontestable that the domestIc
sphere of employment would afford mq ";
better training for future wifehood' we
DO not attach much weight to the ar u-
ment that the shop assistant is exposed 70
more temptation than if kept at home. IN
society, as at present constituted, there
are plenty Of pitfalls for mice girls IN
every direction, and those disposed 10
tumble into them will find way IN one
place as we'll as in another. But the COM
planning bachelor makes out strong case
for reform when he declares that young
ladies who have been assistants at SHOPS
do not make thrifty and helpful wives lof
men in narrow circumstances.
