With the Ritual.
sy MARCH CHASE. RECTOR.

On Wednesday. December 18th. in

jefferson Crawford was ordained dea-
con by Bishop Webb
At the conclusion of the professional
hymn the bishop preached ON the text
taken from the gospel of the office Let
your loius be girded about and Your
lights burning
In the course of his sermon the bishop
spoke about the origin of the diaconate
and how that its purpose III the church
WAS one of daily ministrauon and
work. He said in no office of the
church was the beauty and dignity Of
work more clearly eXcmplitied. To
minister unto, and not to be miuiStered
unto. should be the divine motive back
of all such service; and it was tEis
service that purchased for the deacon
the good degree OF priesthood and its
advancement With paterual inter
est and affection, the bishop addressed
the candidate. lie spoke of the salts
faction he mad III receiving him into the
sacred ministry. He welcomed him to
place of honor and usefulness. To
be of help to the world and his fellow
men and to advance the cause Of Christ
would surely compensate for all the dis
appointments and loneliness that might
await him

Growth of Rocks.

Rocks do not grow in the sense that
n plant grows. They may Increase by
ical change. The old sea bed, being
lifted up, becomes sandstone and lime
stone. The volcanic ash and lava
strcwn over the plains become tufn,
hard enough for building stone. The
pebbly shore of a river becomes con
glomerate. The simple mineral does
grow however, when it takes a crystal
form. The sparkling prism OF quartz
increases from an atom to crystal
as large ms n forearm by Il process Of
addition ana assimilation wonderfully
slow. but beautifully regular, exactly
as crystals Of ice form on the window
