MEMORABLE DIS- i COURSE ON THE OCCASION. LARGELY ATTENDED ]] i At the Holy Yrinity Churc on a ] the fourth Sumlay after Easter, r i the Rt. Rev. Albion W. Knight, D. f . assisting the Rt. Rev. Paul e Mathews, Bishop of the Diocese, t fjsitetl the Parish for Confirma- ( The Rector. Rev. Joseph W. f j presented a doss of five All present felt that the Bishop ( came as a true Ambassador of E ' Jesus Christ. Bishop Knight r ' speaks in pleasant tones, with ( ! earnestness and deliberation, carry- ( 1 conviction. On this occasion 1 was suffering with his throat, f ' having he said, only twice in ten , 1 years hail a similar affection. , His hearers were sorry for this ( 1 trouble, *ut they seemed not to , I loose the deeply stirring message. ( ] He reminded the congregation that ( j their duty was to know these per , I song and to sympathize with them j— that they were present as wit- , I ncsses and in the Great Day of l I giving account for the deeds done ( | in the body, would surely be called t to bear witness that the persons | I"! confirming the vows that earlier ^ had been made for them, had cov j counted to "learn of Christ." ( "Jesus Christ had come," the ( s said, "not only to offer " Himself on Calvary a ransom for " man — had that been true He could '• come a man, and offered Him' ■" self up. He chose to come a babe, to pass through boyhood, manhood n and to learn obedience through the -j things He suffereil that we might ' learn of Him the way back to God.

evening service on Sunday evening that it was his desire to extend the community interests, and enhance the commuhity value, of the church over which he was pasi tor. To that end he had arranged a community service and had invited four local residents to apand discuss matters affectthe welfare of the city. . Bearing in mind therefore the nature of the service and the novelty associated with it, the attendwas disappointing. It could readily lie thought that more people, eager to learn and hear discussed problems of a civic charac1 and the relationship which the Church should bear towards civic matters, would have it possible to be present. At the .outset, Dr. John Handley suggested a text which the [ speakers might make use of: "I a man, and a citizen of no mean city," and summoned Dr. Al1 Corson to the platform for tiie openin gaddress. ' As might be expected from a- ■ medical man; Dr. Corson's address 1 dealt principally with health and sanitation. The health of a com- ' munity, said the Doctor, was a fac1 tor of supreme importance. No ' difficulty would be experienced in ' convincing a sick man, that health to be preferred before wealth. 1 Modern pathology and surgery " had traced the origin of practically all forms of disease, to a micros5 copic germ. In a few instances 1 medical science had failed to iso5 and identify the germ of a r particular disease; notwithstanding it was definitely known that Buch diseases were of bacteriological e origin. r Dr. Corson went on to explain r further, that all germ life was not ^ injurious. There were species of 1 bacteria wtfeh were a blessing to •J mankind, such as those which brought about the disintegration e of dead matter and refuse. ' The health resorts of Jersey and in* fact of the entire continent were absolutely necessary and a commercial asset. They had a high commercial and humanitarian valr uc. In them the people of congealed inland cities, found the necesr sary recuperation of wasted vitaly |ty, sufficient to combat., the inroadg of disease.
