BISHOP SHAYLER CONFIRMS
FIRST CLASS AT ST. PHILIP’S
Large Congregation Fills Church—
Service Impressive- -Bishop ol Ne
braska Preaches eloquent Sermon
ami Makes Profound Impression.
THE Rt. Rev. Ernest Vincent Shay
ler, D. D., bishop of Nebraska,
made his first official visit for con
firmation to the church of St. Philip
the Deacon Sunday afternoon, con
firming a class of fourteen children
and adults-and preached an eloquent
sermon which made a profound im
pression upon the large congregation
which filled the church. The class
which was composed of eleven girls
and women dressed in white and
wearing their white confirmation
veils, and three men, presented a
beautiful and impressive sight as
they marched in with the choir and
knelt at the chancel rail, where, aft
er the customary questions and the
singing of the :: Veni, Creator, Spirit
us,” came the imposition of the
bishop’s hands. Bishop Shayler then
briefly addressed the class and gave
them as their confirmation motto the
words "Thine Forever.” After a hymn
he preached on "The Driving Out of
the Evil Spirit.” applying this thought
to the national life, where evil looms
so large and then to the individual
life, stressing the fact that only the
spirit of Christ can save the nation
or Individual.
Those confirmed were: Della
Louise Howard, Ernestine Evelyn
Singleton, Grace Dorsey, Lucille
, Bivens. Sybil Merrifield, Lenore Ilier
onvmous, Vinnie Florence Hierony
mous, Eleanor C. Haynes, Jennie
Merrifield, Eunice Earl Smith, Mary

ST. PHILIP’S CHURCH
IS BURGLARIZED
Communion Vessels, Valuable Altar
Clothes and Vestments Are Stolen
—So Clue to Thieves.
Last Thursday night St. Philip's
Episcopal church was entered by
burglars, who carried away altar
hangings, vestments, altar linens, al
tar vases, choir vestments and com
munion vessels which it will take be
tween $400 and $500 to replace. The
opinion is that a "dope fiend" or
some similar degenerate did the Job,
because most of the things stolen
while of great value to the church
would be of no value to any one else.
Detectives got busy on the Job as
soon as the case was reported, but
as yet have gotten no trace of the
stolen articles.
As soon as it was known Dean
Tancock of Trinity Cathedral, Father
Holsapple of St. Barnabas, Father
Brown of St. Martins and other
clergy of the city-called up Father
Williams and generously placed at
the disposal of St. Philip’s for tem
porary use such things as might be
needed for carrying on the services.
Reading of the loss in the Omaha
Bee, H. Gross, a Jewish friend, came
to St. Philip’s rectory and left a gift
of $10 “to help out a little’’ as he
expressed it.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
This is to certify that William Nor
ris Moore, who departed this life a
few weeks ago was a member in good
standing at the time of his death of
Excelsior Masonic lodge, No. 110, of
which he had been a member for sev
enteen years; of Eureka Chapter No.
33 and of the Comnmndery. It was
his request that his life long friend,
Silas Johnson, the undertaker, take
charge of his remains at his demise,
which dying request I believed It to
be my duty to respect.
MRS. W. N. MOORE.
