BISHOP C. B. BREWSTER. Rt. Rev. C. B. Brewster; D. D. con- firméd a class of four at Trinity Epis- copal church on Wednesday evenins. Following the rite of confirmation Bishop Brewster gave an instructive sermon on_Life, its charcteristics and Durpose. He took hfs text from the 10th verse. 10 chapter of St. John—I Came That They May Have Life and That They May Have It Abundantly. In the text, sald Bishop Brewster, the Lord explained his purpose in com. ing. His purpose was the furtherance of Life. The characteristic of lLfe is its capacity for advancement. Hvery general gain in life means the possibil- ity of further gain Life is never finished off, a completed achievement. It's always in the mak- ing. Life is never a station; but is always a progress, cn and on. See to it that life goes on and even in the face of aifficulties—Do not give in, but fight, for life does not go on of itself. if left to liself life will go backward. | It demands Incessant effort to advance, | The joy of living comes only after one ceases to become self centercd. Th purposes of l'%e's discipline should not stop with self. Life completes it- self in love, thus the genuine gain in life comes in furthering other life. The Spirit is God's breath of life. It goes forth in created power to renew and whoever receives the Spirit draws on inflnite stores of life. Assisting Archdeacon _ J. Mldred Brown rector of the church were Rev. R. R.
