Confirmations.

I have to thank the Clergy and Church Wardens for their ready compliance with the "Suggestions" I circulated on this subject. During our Clerical and Lay Conferences we can discuss points that may need elucidation. It would be a good plan if copies of the "Order of Confirmation," authorized for use in the Diocese, were circulated among the people present. Under any circumstances, however, it is the duty of the Church Wardens to defray the cost of copies given to the Candidates. The Church Officers will be good enough to see that the Clergyman does not pay for these out of his own pocket.

With a view of meeting a very real and wholly encour-aging demand, I have arranged to hold two Confirmations each year for Adults only. They will be held in the Cathedral about Ascensiontide and S. Andrew-tide each year. Communications as to number of Candidates page 18 from any Parish, and so forth, are to be made to the Vicar of the Cathedral not later than one week before the date of each Confirmation. The exact dates of each Adult Confirmation will be published in the Gazette in good time for arrangements to be made by the Clergy.
