ABSOLUTELY PURE

There was large attendance at Christ
Episcopal Church last Sunday morning
to witness confirmation services by Bis
hop Davies. The aisles were filled with
seats to accommodate all who came.
The beauty of the interior of the church
was enhanced by profusion of flowers;
in addition to the altar aud chancel dec
orations, large clusters of white flowers
were placed at the entrance to the seats
occupied by the confirmation class.
The Rev. Sherwood Roosevelt had the
pleasure of presenting large class to
the Bishop for confirmation about forty
-an excellent indication of prosperity
during the past years faithful service as
rector. This fell short of what he ex-
pected, the heavy rain proving adverse
to the presence of some families living
out of town who expected to be of the
class. Bishop Davies's address to the
class was an excellent preparation for
the duties and obligations of Christian
life. The vested choir, always an at
traction, was very fine in some special
music.
After the services at the church the
Bishop and Mr. Roosevelt went to the
residence of DIR. Garlick and confirmed
the doctor. who is i'll, and two members
of his family.
Sunday afternoon the Bishop held
confirmation at st. Paul's Church, CO.
runna, where Mr.. Roosevelt has held
services the past year, and confirmed
eight persons.
Mr.. Roosevelt shows the gratifying
number of fifty-three confrmations as a
result Of his work in Owosso aud Co.
runna. the past year. Several others
ready for confirmation were kept away
by sickness in their families, and other
untoward circumstances. but for which
the number would have been over sixty.

Christ Church gave social reception at
the rectory to the newly confrmed class,
under the management of the church

The Michigan Rose.

AT the suggestion of Mrs. j. Willard
Babbitt, of Ypsilanti, the Womans Relief
Corps of the Department of Michigan have
adopted as their floral emblem, the Michigan
Rose.
From the Ypsilantian, in an article con-
tributed by Lucy b. Osband, A. NJ, teacher
of systematic botany in the Michigan State
Normal school, we learn that, among the
so-called climbing roses, only one is native
to this country and that is our own Mich
lgan rose, Rosa Set.gera. This beautiful
species is native of Michigan and takes
its name from the state. 1t is not as COM
mon as our swamp rose, Rosa Carolina,
nor the wild rose, Rosa hltn,tJis; but it is
Indigenous in many localities in the central
and southern portions of the state. 1t Is a
rampant grower, the young shoots attaining
a height of fifteen or twenty feet in single
season. The bark is brownish red with
scattering, curved prickles. The leaflets,
three to five in number, are large; the flowers
grow in clusters, the first is globular. The
blossom is cup-shaped and semi-double, and
although 1t drops its petals early, the clus-
ters are so many and so large that the bios
soming period is quite extended. The color
is dark rose growing paler with age. The
blossom clusters stand well out from the
foliage, and have not the stiff appearance
which marks SO many Of the cultivated
varieties. 1t Is perfectly hardy, requiring
no care, although like other native plants 1t
repays generous treatment with more lux
uriant growth and greater wealth of bloom.
A thrifty plant covered with blossoms Is a
beautiful sight and every loyal Michigander
onght to find place for 1t on his premises.

Those who delight in the art OF the stage

dcnce Opera House this week. Vance's new
sensational play, entitled "Patent Applied
For was performed there for the first
time in this city last evening and a fair
sized audience seemed to obtain much
pleasure from it. The story OF the play is
old fashioned, but it is developed inter-
estingly and some OF its scenes allow of.
speciality performers and stage realism of
considerable magnitude. The special
ties include chair dancing by Jack
Morris and Nettie Walters; Juggling,
crayon drawing and singing by Steamboat
Bill, one OF the taking characters OF the
show. The infant prodigy was
also in evidence i'm the person OF
clever little Bessie. Altogether
the announcement made by tue agent
that the author has blazed another path
through the dramatic wilderness is not
entirely misleading. because "Patent
Applied For" is fin de steele
drama that puts buzz-saw realism in the
shade. There is a storm at sea and an
imperilled steamer, real horse that
with its rider dashes into
boiling stream and rescues a man in the
nick Of time; real steam boiler and other
moving machinery that would set fac
, tory town wild. The play was fairly well
acted and the machinery moved TO
charm. IL will move every evening this
week and Wednesday and Saturday
