lowing persons were confirmed by Bishop

beth 0wings, Mary Matilda 0wings. To
quote from the Parish record, Fat the conclu-
sion of the services in the church, the Bishop
proceeded to the church yard, accompanied
by the clergy and people, and consecrated it
to be a place of Christian burial.
Mrs. Catharine J. Shellman, now in her
eighty-first year, is the only survivor of that
little band, Miss Lucretia Van Bbber hav-
ing died in February of the present year.

members of the church, who died only last
month. Harry C. Smith, the faithful sexton
Of the Church, was also warmly remembered.
The rest of the sermon consisted of a summary

year, ending with an exhortation TO trust in
God for the future.
