On Monday and Tuesday of this week, the
Church Of the Ascension, Westminster, was
the scene of two very interesting services. On
Monday night, in the presence of a crowded
congregation, the Bishop confirmed Miss
Mary Z. Tregellas, of Manchester. The
Bishops sermon was a powerful one on the
LittlenesS of Modern Faith, drawn from Our
Lord S words in St. Matthew, viii, %, 20 We
of little faith" The Rev. MesSrs. Rich, OF
Reisterstown, Harding. of Baltimore, and
Reese, of Westminster, were present IN the
chancel and assisted the Rectorin the Services
On Tuesday morning, in spite of Grving
rain, a good congregation assembled to W.T.
ness the institution of the Rev. WHY'S Rede
to the Rectorship of the parish. The service
was a most solemn one. and being new to the
people of Westminster was OF unusual interest
The clergy above mentioned, the new Rector
aud Messrs. Charles Reifsnder and b. U,
Blanchard acting as Wardens OF the parish,
took their places in the chancel, the Bishop
going within the altar rail. After Morning
PRAYER, with proper psalms and appropriate
lessons, had been said the Bishop proceeded
to the institution service as laid down IN the
Prayer Book. First came the address by the
Bishop on the powers and duties about to be
committed to the new Rector. Their the
KEYS of the Church were presented by the
senior warden with the following words: I'm
the name and behalf of Ascension Parish
do receive and acknowledge you, the Rev.
WHY'S Rede, as Priest and Rector OF the
same, and in token thereof give into your
hands the keys of this church," To which
the new Rector responded: II, WHY'S Rede,
receive these keys of the House of God, at
your hands, as the pledges of my institution
and of your parochial recognition, and
promise to be a faithful shepherd over you, IN
the name of the Father and Of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost The Bishop then pre-
sented to him the Bible, Book of Common
Prayer. and Canons of the Church in America
and in the Diocese of Maryland to be the rule
of his conduct, and received him within the
altar rail. After prayers by the Bishop and
newly instituted Rector, came the sermon
by the Rev. Carroll Harding, of the Church
OF the Holy Evangelists, Baltimore. II was
a mastery setting forth of the Pastoral Office
in the Church Of God, showing what the reia
tionship of priest and people ought to be.
When il was ended the new Rector administer
ed the communion to his people aud gave them
his blessing Then, standing before the altar,
he took each Of them by the hand as they
came up to wish him God speed IN has new
life and work. The service seemed 20 bind
pastor and people together with a stronger
bond and viii no doubt be long remembered
by all who witnessed it.
The Bishop returned to Baltimore on Tues
day afternoon.

best authors and were rendered in manner
as to reflect creditably upon their composers.
We regard the Institute a great success, and
believe many valuable lessons have been
learned, which, if practically applied, will
serve to raise to a still higher degree the ed
ucationa standard of this county. All the
exercises were largely attended by citizens of
Westminster and adjacent country.

MORE INCENDIARISM.
The Ninth Barn and Shed Burned-Threat-
amir !.


Shortly after clock, on Saturday morn
ing last, a bright light was seen by those of
our citizens who were up at that early hour,
in the direction of Manchester. and as soon as
! telephone connection could be had it was
| learned that the barn of Mr.. Andrew Brod
| beck. near Jefferson, York county, Pa. had
| been set on fire and burned. The horses were
rescued, but three cows, all the grain, hay,
| fodder and farming implements were de-
stroyed.
/ The barn is in the same neighborhood with
| the others recently burned, aud makes the
ninth burned 1t was insured in the Mannheim
! Insurance Company of York county. Pa.
| Lewis Bachman,in York county, Pa. living
near Linehoro', this county, found a letter in
! his fodder stack on Thursday of last week
| containing 80 matches. The letter read rs
| follows: ~ ours, Newcomers and Wolf 5
barns and Mrs. Vent 5 new shed will be
| burned" There have been two attempts to
| burn Mr. Newcomer barn, and Mrs. Wentz 5
barn was burned on the 18th of January.
Mrs. VENTS shed. which was erected to
shelter her stock, was burned on Monday,
according to notice, which she received on
the Saturday previous. The stock were res
cued without injury, except one COW, which
was slightly burned.
1t is stated that several persons in this
county, near the line, have received threat
eniug letters. One of which said; Your
barn and four others in the ueighborhood will
be burned within three weeks People IN
the neighborhood of the scene of the iucen-
diaries are becoming greatly alarmed and are
afraid that their dwellings will be fired. II
they had employed a skilled detective from
distance the scouudrels would have been safe
behind prison bars ere this, and much dis
tress prevented. A gentleman from that sec
ton of York county said to an ADVOCATE re-
preventative this week THAT no one could
describe the condition of the people, men,
women and children were so terrified that
they feared to go to bed, and that some slept
in their clothes" The officials of York
county and the insurance companies should
have acted promptly in this matter and
ferreted out the perpetrators of this vandalism.
Il is not too late yet, perhaps, and we hope
they will be speedily brought TO justice.
Means should at once be taken by those of
our citizens residing near the line TO prevent
such acts in their vicinity.
