Bishop Halls Visit.

Rt. Rev. A. c. A. Hall made his
annual visit to ST. Andrews parish Sun.
day. He conducted the communion ser
vice at Z a. M, and read the service, and
administered the rite OF confirmation to
class Of five at 1890, holding service
at Lyndonville in the evening.
At the forenoon service he used no text
and preached no sermon, but gave a sub
stantial talk on the meaning of our
baptsmal vows. He said there were
many erroneous ideas as to the meaning
of the VOWS taken by those who are
baptised and confirmed and he made
their meaning very plain in his short adj
dress. He said that baptism is a prepa-
ration for confirmation. 1t is not simply
the pouring on of water in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost, but the receiving of the gift
OF Gods strengthening grace. 1t is not
what man does in making the promises
and vows, but what God does in giving
us spiritual food. Confirmation is not
really taking upon ourselves the vows
made by us at our baptism, for we can
not take upon ourselves these obligations
any more than we can the responsibility
OF living in this world. We can say we
realize more fully what it means and try
and live more worthy of manhood and
womanhood, just as when we come to
years Of maturity we can try to be better
citizens, not live mere animal or butter
fly existences. Some people think that
until we take baptismal vows we are
not responsible beings, but that as soon
as we make these promises we are under
obligations, which in reality we are un-
der just as much before we make them,
but through them we acknowledge our
responsibility. The form of baptism and
confirmation are exactly similar to the
form of naturalization. When person
comes to this country from some foreign
country he must signify his intention of
becoming a citizen of this country, which
is the same as preparation for baptism.
Then he must become citizen of this
country, and we become connected with
the church by baptism, and taking the
oath of allegiance to this country, is
similar to our confirmation.

A Texas Steer.

Hoyts farce-comedy, "a Texas Steer"
was given to full house at Howe Opera
House, Thursday evening. The Bison
City Quartette" received several encores
and gave some very catchy vocal selec-
tions. Herbert Sears as Maverick Bran
der, the Congressman from Texas, is
capable actor and took his part well.
Katie Putnam, as "Bossy," was a uni
versal favorite and was deservedly APP
plauded, as was also Will II. Bray, who
took the part of the minister to Daho-
mey." This entertainment is different
in style from Hoyt's plays that have
been presented here recently and gave
general satisfaction.

COST OF OIL.
Los Angeles Express: There is con-
siderable amount Of drilling for oil IN
the city oil fields, notwithstanding the
sudden rise in the cost of necessary iron
and timber. The driller who gets down
a well NOW at a cost of $1,000 is in
luck. Still. there are many whose conf
dence in the city field Is strong enough
to induce them to invest the necessary
amount. Oil prices are becoming firmer
and the dollar-a- barrel mark rs very
close at hand. Indeed, several small
sales ait that figure have been made at
the tanks.
The sugar beet season is soon coming
on and this means a greatly increased
demand for crude petroleum Some San
Francisco buyers have entered the local
field. which tends to strengthen prices.
That these are facts no one can dis
pute. 1t is, equally plain that few
nrivate concerns with larger or smaller
holdings are striving to bull the local
market. Reports are being Industrious
lv circulated all calculated to give a
stimulus to the market. These same
individuals are sure to be the first to
unload and the stimulated market will
tumble.
That high oil prices are desirable is
conceded, but it is Just as we'll Tor OIL
producers to see that there is no in
f1ated raise, or one that cannot be main
tanned. The Oil Storage and Transpor-
tation Company is doing good work in
keeping the market we'll balanced and
well in hand.

I at once wrote to him, explaining VINO
I was, and apologizing for my thirty
years of silence, and got the most cor
dial note in reply, asking me to lunch
con ON the following Sunday, when he
said he would have no visitors, and we
could have a. long talk. l accordingly
went to The Grange, West Kensing-
ton, which 1 found to be most de-.
lightful old house, absolutely unique IN
being so close to town and having sucn
large grounds attached to it. He had
lived there, he told me, more tnah
twenty years, and his lease was nearly
up, and he was much afraid that ne
should not be able to get q reneWal, Ior
the land and the site were almost lnvai-
liable for building purposes. However,
he occupied the house till his death, IN
1897, so / suppose some arrangement
was made with his landlord There was
nobody at home but his wife; she was
looking wonderfully young. and pretty.
His two children, his son and daugn-
ter, We're elsewhere. After luncheon ne
asked me to go into his studio ana
smoke And what a studio it was!
Hung all round with the most splenold
works of art, all bespoken and most
of them paid for, they were for the
greater part just waiting for the f1nal
touches of the master ere they Went
off to adorn the walls of their ne"
owners Here we sat and talked tLi
late in the afternoon. Or, rather sal,
while he was ever busy on some new
design with a charcoal point, for sun
day made no difference to him. he
told me how he came to add the Burne
to his name 1t was simply as mat
ter of convenience to distinguish MIN
from the numerous other Joneses that
were commonly fitting about the
studios. have said that Sunday made
no difference to him, but he was by no
means an irreligious man. Perhaps
should say he was rather a man OF
great conscientiousness than religion.
We talked about his son and daughter,
about his garden, about anything rather
than his art, till the time came for US
to part, and then he invited me to come
again and bring my wife, only giving
him notice, but never did. l never
saw him again-London Globe.
