TRINITY PARISH,
Bishop Brewster Confirms Class of IA
 

A large audience greeted Bishop Brewster at Trinity church, Sunday night, when class of IA were con- firmed. Bishop Frederick Foote Johnson of South Dakota was present and read the Gospel in the confrma- tion office. Bishop Brewster preached from Matt 1924: Then said Jesus unto His disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. ; Our Lord reuqired all of his disciples to bear the cross and share his eX- periences. The law of self denial is to be observed, but not denial for the sake of denial. We must die with Him, but His law is not death for deaths sake. His purpose for us is always larger and a fuller life. Just as St Paul said: "I am crucifed with Christ" He showed how confirmation brings together these two things this spirit of the cross which means self surrender and the spirit of Christ which means power. He exhorted them to follow confirmation by pray CT, which is laying hold of Gods power and by self-surrender in the Holy Communion, giving ones self to Christ, that he may live in us.

tries to strike n faster gait.
Little children step out OF her way
and yell derisively at her. but she does
not even notice whose children they
are so that she may talk about the

She runs! o, she runs! When a
