knight, of New Jersey, Sunday
confirmed a class of nine and re-
ceived two into the faith in ST.
Marks Episcopal church. Every
seat was occupied.
The Bishop before his sermon
paid a tribute to the late Samuel
e. Whitman, warden of ST Marks.
saying that any congregation or
community possessing character
of his personality, upright and 10y
al in his faith, could not escape be-
ng better for his life and example.
The Bishop took occasion to COM
pliment the success of the year and
a halls leadership of Rector Dan
iel G. MacKinnon, whom he said
he joined with Lay Reader Ber-
tram E. Whitman, in inducing to
take charge of the parish after a
search of the field for the right
man.
He remarked that since his last
visit, year ago, he observed evil
dence of progress in the new pipe
organ, in the installation of addi-
tional seating capacity, and partic-
ularly was he impressed with the
heartiness. of the congregational re-
sponses and the choir music.
Those confirmed were Mrs. Irma

Murphy, Charles Bernard Andrews,
Mark Adams Risley, Frederick Mel

call to remembrance the unfeigned
faith that is in thee, which dwelt
in thy grandmother Lois and thy
mother Eunice; l am persuaded
that in thee also" 1t was con-
tanned in a letter written by ST.
Paul in regard to st. Timothy.
The spark of faith is in all of
us, said the Bishop. 1t is implant-
ed at the mothers knee. 1t is like
a furnace banked for the night. In
appearance it is dead, but it CLOVIS
beneath. 1t needs but the stirring
to give it life, power and service.
It is shown in the sophisticated
man who has drifted away. When
in trouble he turns to his church
and the first prayers that he says
are those he learned at his moth
er's knee; the faith she instilled
in him.
Every mortal, said the Bishop.
has some talent. 1t may be latent.
It's realization and development to
it's maximum force would result,
he was sure. in the ending of all
strife in the world
He was surprised when he called
college graduate class before
him and individually inquired as to
their plan in life. what they ex-
pected to make their career. to find
that only a fraction had given it
consideration. They had no idea
of what they wanted to do. They
were depending upon some oppor-
tunity to chart the way for them.
They had not given thought to
any latent gift in them to let it be
their guide nor the sphere in life
in which they could be the more
useful
