FORTY-FIVE CONFIRMED. Rt. Rev. Bishop Administers Sacra- | ment at Seored Heart Church. A class of about 45 was confirmed at Sacred Heart church Suturday evening by Rt. Rev. Joba J. Nilan. Rev. Charles Brennan, pastor of the church, and Rev. B. H. Hayes of Jewett Clty attended the bishop, The decorations | of flowers about 'the altar and sanctu- | ary, the many lighted _candles, the white dresses and vells of the children | all produced a most beautlful effect. In his address Bishop Nilan said: As the disciples were gathered in the | upper room for fear of the Jews, a sudden sound was heard and tonguus of flame descended on each disciple. All were then filled with the Holy Ghost, thus receiving strength, wisdom, pow- er. They this way to teach that this power came from heaven, and He sent these men out into the world with His power in a way that all would understand. When He first came into the woral He came as a little child to show that little chil- dren, the small, the poor, all couid come to Him. He remained .in this world 33 years and preached to His own countrymen, but they didn’t be- lieve Him and nailed Him to the cross. That cross is the gign of God's and Christ's love, which is beyond com- e. Christ has given His disciples won- derful powers to preach, to baptiza, o swing open the doors of the church, nd greatest of all, the Holy Bucharist, the holy communion. If you don't | know that Christ is present in the sacrament of the Eucharist you will lose the araces that belong in your af- ter life, You must keep your bodies pure, your tengtes must never speak a word of which Christ wouid disap- prove.
