AT the o'clock services at st. Jo-
seph's Cathedral last night one of the
largest congregations ever assembled in
this place of worship witnessed the
ceremonies of confirmation adminls-
tered to nearly 300 conArmands. among
whom were included many persons Of
mature age, as well as a large number
of boys and girls. No service at the
Cathedral for long time has attracted
such large attendance nor SO much
interest in Catholic circles.
The service was conducted by the
Right Rev. Bishop Donahue, whose dis
course related to the sacrament Of con-
flrmatlon, the lessons OF which were to
be applied to temporal as well as splr-
ltual life. The history OF the sacrament

pie had given confirmation that they

flrmatIon he added, gives strength and
courage to fight for the faith and sub
due the enemies Of the soul. Baptism
makes US children of God, and conAr-
nation makes us soldiers Of Christ.
The service was notable for the fine
musical programme rendered by the
choir under the direction of Prof. j.
