 In the sermon, Bishop Milan re- minded the members of the class of the significance of the sacra- ment, that in receiving the hoiy ghost. they were endowed with the strength and virtues that made them not only children of God, but Christian soldiers in a battle to de- fend God and church against the attacks of their enemies.
 Children should have implicit confidence in their parents, the bishop remarked. They should nev- CT keep secrets from them, but should take them in their confi- denoe and to seek the explanation of truths when puzzled and per niexed. The world and their daily life would offer hundreds of strange compiications, but if children were eager to learn the answer and to be guided properly they should ap- neal to their parents, not to com panfons for aid nor to unapproVeo books for curious information.
 The lesson of personal example: inc influence of family prayers and the, atmosphere of piety in tho house to impress and edify the youthful mind were emphasized as part of the great responslpintles of parents, The duty of parents to teach and enlighten; their children was a personal one and snould not be left entirely-to the scnool or other agencies.
