CONFIRMATION AND COMMUNION
ltellfrloiis Prncticcq Innuciiratca By ,
k the Apostles nt Jorusiljm
In its own quiet way the congregation of
All Saints Episcopal church has boon going
along , without attracting much attcntiou
tbioilgh the public prints , and listening
every Sunday to profound teachings of
Bible doctrine from its minister , the llov
Louis Zahner , who is always interesting und
well liked Ho is docply in earnest in his
work nnd , is rapidly building up ono ot the
strongest sociotlos in tlio city A very line
choir , composed , with two exceptions , of
men and bo\3 , under the leadership of Mr ,
Ponucl , ! , make the music at this church u
very onjoynblo feature of the services
Yesterday the rector took for his text tlio
seventeenth verse , chapter eight , of the book
otApostlos Iticadsi
Then Ihey laid their hands on thom and
they received the Holy Ghost "
These words , " began the speaker , "do-
senbo tlio rlto ofcoullrinatioui as practiced
In the ape toliu church They toll us how
the llrst cdnvorts to the Christian religion
wore admitted to the prlvilegoj of Christian
fellowship A11" communion "
'Io3thcso great tcnots , confirmation and
communion , Mr banner dovotcd his dis
course . In substance ho said that the first
comes 'tO us authorized and enjoined by apes
toliu oknmplo rind by the strongest iiilluence
wo b'elldvu in the authority or Christ him
self , Tno aitustles wore under the strong
and xpeclal Inlluenco of the Holy Spirit , and
what they did was done either by tbo direct
Inspiratlop.df the spirit of God or by the au
thority of wlia\ Christ taught thom to do dur
ing the great forty days uftor the rosurecton
At that time the apostles were inaugurat
ing a movement destined to run its course
along'With the world a work that would
never ( bo finished while the world stood
Every act of theirs was significant ; every
word prompted and ratified by the spirit of
QoiL , .Ho tb.on related the story of St Peter
and St John ut Samaria , the preachings of
Philip there , ana asserted that the inlluenco
of their visit there wus that of u divine call
This , was ilia special thing these two
apostles wore sunt to do "
When the people of Samaria wore much
rejoiced at Philips preaching oud bollaved
the things ho told them conccrnini ; the
kingdom of God and the name of Jesus ,
they wore baptised When the apostles at
Jerusalam , tboieforc , hoard of this they snut
Peter and John to pruy that tbo Saumri-
ans might receive the Holy Ghost
This servlco had to bo performed by tbo
luying.pn of bands , and only the apostles
were oirtpowored with divine authority to do
it The custom then practiced , according to
Hey X.ullnor , Is still observed He , as rector
tor of All Saints parish , occupies the same
position that Phillip did , nnd can baptize ,
but thp right of confirmation belongs only to
thu bishops , who hold the same relationship
now tliat the apostles of old did
By pruver and the laying on of hands
Peter and John bestowed upon tbo converts
ut Samaria the gifts and blessings of the
holy spirit The same right of confirmation
it practiced in the church todoy It is an
apostolic institution , nnd cannot bo neg
lected without sin and Injury to the soul
By these outward manifestations in the
ilrst ugea of tint church God set his soul on
this Bucrod right , and the upostlos , being
taught of God , exercised their ministry us
the proper moans for the convovanco of their
inward gift , called in holy scripture tbo gift
of the Holy CI lies t. Thus God commended
this practlco to the permanent use of all fu
ture goaopitions ana made it obligatory on
Christians to receive and maintain It
Uev VSahnor distinguishes the aiiostolio ns
belug the purest und beat ago of Christian
ity Immediately nftor the uge it was the
custom aud has bcon over uluco for the bishop
to go forth nnd make a tour in order to lay
his hands and to invoke the Holy spirit on
these who , la smaller towns , have been bap-
Used by the prosbj tors und deacons ,
Baptism has boon enlisted under Christ's
banner to light u gooj light In the worlds '
conflicts and trials , and it gives a hope for
tlio future ; an assurance of Gods favor and
condness towards us which wo catiuot bo
thoroughly conscious of without It Only
tho.pibTiop Is privileged to bestow that fur
thOf and crowning blessing of the church ,
admission to the feast of Christ's blessing
and blood 'I hl # custom of taking sacrament
\yas also dwell upon by the speaker at some
length , the tuuor of his argument being
• 'WtioBoeaihetli ' my tlctli aqd drinkoth my
blood hath etoruul llfo aud I will raise him
up at the last day "
Is anything too much to prove our loyalty
and love and gratitude to the Master ! Is
bis service hard when be calls us to do for
his sake what , If we knew but our own in
terest , wo-suould do for our own sake I Bat
many people refuse to concede that religion
is the true cause of happiness in this
world and the next They have an.idea that
rpllgtoji is a'a enemy to men's pleasures , that
\vouil ( deprlvo them ot social enjoyment
doom ibein to an ubiurd aud perpetual
melancholy , and make of this eroat world
nothing but a vast monastery That may be
the Puritan idea , but it is not tbo Christian
God uerer created unv fucultv nl'hor of the
MHMHHHi
soul or body , without preparing for
It a suitable object for its grntlll
cntlon , nnd there Is nothing In
Gods revelation to tench man thnt religion
l Intended to conlrndlct the nature which
He has given him
It would bo the greitost unit most Irra-
tlonnl tyranny In the world to tantnllzo men
and to proscribe every form of onuyiuont ] in
the midst of nil the opportunities ot enjoy
merit To make man lit lo recelvo pleasure
and then to Interdict It with n touch not
nnd a taste not , " Is to keep him under the
perpetual torment of unsatisfied doslro , nnd
ns It is contrnry to the natural happiness of
the creature , so is It contrary also to the
wisdom and soodnoss of the Great Creator
1 would therefore make It an nrgu
mont In favor of religion thnt It
Interferes not with anv rntlonnl
ptoasurc ; that it bids no individual to quit
the onjoj mont or any ono thing that his reason
son can provo to him ought to bo enjoyed
loi'giou { ' Intrenohos upon none of our privi
leges , invades none of our pleasures
The discourse was listened to with grent
deal of interest by the congregation
Although doctrinal as well ns theological ,
the llov Zihnor Is always a pleasing talker
nnd enjoys much popularity among his people

The same rule | s followed , too , in the
rotunda where the bills of larger de

got very angry when tholr bad bills are

a maimor that they cannot bo used ,
A few days ago the South Ferry com

dlo of the fractional currency , repre
senting about $100 , It had boon discov ;
ored back cf a partition in the old ferry
house , where it had oitlior been stewed
away or misplaced , und was found when
the old building vfm torn down to make
room for the now structure Mr Hall

SANPAN LIFE IN HONG KONG I
Clilldron Lonrn to Sirini nnd Inko to

The floating population of Hong
Kong , as it ib called , numbers some
sixty thoiHiind souls , They are a busy -ri fll
'
and cnoigotlc comiu unity , as dihtiuc t T B
from tlio Chliioso on shore as though
they belonged loa dilTeront race , suys
a writer iu the Now York Herald " I M
never could understand how they man M
ngod to exist They seem to bo a sort I
of mutual nid association , each supply I
ing the wants and needs of thu other 1
They maintain some llttliS trade among I
the sliipping in the harbor , though , for & I
all I could boo , the majority of thom hud * \
no business whatever 1
It would be hard to fancy several
coucratloiib of Htiropeuiis passing their
lives within the con lines of a sm ,
boat , scarcely seventeen foot long ,
fathers , mothers , children ami grand
parents living together like iinimalb iu
a cage , never lea\ing their home , jot
soomingh as happy as a listless exist
ence nnd no responsibility could make
them
Of course some arc busy , very busy ,
and paddle about all day long , drying
their various uitros , with yells at ouco
discordant and unbeatable to oars not
accustomed to their sound The others
seem to llsh and by whatever means
they alwavs appear to have Ii well
stocked larder of such simple viands as
they are accustomed to
To describe a sanpau , ono has only to
imagine si long , clumsily constructed
boat , with a thatched roof ever the
center and divided into three compart
ments They ate piopollod somewhat
after the fashion of the Venetian gen
dola The children occupy ono end , i
the old folks the other , while the coni \

Our first experience as we attained "

into Hong Kontr harbor was with a * |
largo Chinese junk The wind was " 1
blowing nt a lively rate and the junk , H
with gioat sails of matting snroad ,

seemed inevitable Wo were going nt I

It was a close shave , and the China
man ut the rudder po.it frrinuod a ' s , ha „ m

On ono occasion , donning a bathing
