BISHOP CONFIRMS
200 LITTLE ONES
St. Brigid's Church Crowded
by Parents to Witness the
Solemn Ceremony

st. Brigids church belonged to the
children of the parish yesterday, the
occasion being the confirmation and
first communion of class of more
than 200 little ones. The church was
packed to its doors with parents and
regular worshipers.
Bishop O'Connell, who confirmed the
members of the class, delivered ser
mon which quite won the hearts of the
tiny members of his congregation.
He compared life to a sea voyage,
with conscience as the compass. There
are some" he said, who will tell you
that conscience does not matter in life;
that you Will be able to get along
without it; that it is all nonsense. The
conscience is the compass of life and
unless 1t is needed, unless 1T is watched,
there will come wreck and ruin
There was special music for the oc-
casion, Miss Alice Wilson being the
organist. One of the touching phases
of the service was the reading of a
letter from the pastor of the church,
Father John A. Cottle, who is i'll and
out of the city, and who sent his re-
grets at being absent. Father J. ].
Doran conducted the ceremonies and
was assisted by Father Theodore Kel-
Ter. Among the visiting clergymen
present were Rev. j. F. McGinty of
Holy Cross church, Rev Martin Ryan
of st. Vincent's and Rev. Joseph Nc
