Eighteen
Prisoners In Pen Confirmed
In Episcopal Church

Philadelphia. Penn, Jan. 27--Eight-
cen male prisoners at the Eastern
Penitentiary were confirmed in the
Episcopal church today by Bishop
Rhinelander, of the diocese of Penn
sylvania. Among them were three
with sentences ranging from 18 to 80
years, another without legs, and sever
al who will not leave the prison for
six or seven years.
A special room was prepared for the
services, which lasted for more than
an hour. AS the prisoners, garbed in
their blush suits, entered, the hymn
Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" was
sung and it seemed as though each
man tried to outdo his comrades in
the lustiness with which he sang.
When the time came for the laying
on of hands by Bishop Rhinelander,
the prisoners were divided into groups
of six and walked reverently to the Ia
BILE near which the Bishop stood. The
responses were made in clear tones.
In his talk to the prisoners Bishop
Rhinelander urged that they continue
to lead better lives and dwelt upon
the solemnity and Importance of the
confirmation rites.
