CONFIRMATION SERVICE.
ST, PETER’S CHURCH.
Thirty candidates were presented for confirmation at a service conducted in St. Peter’s Church, Terrace End, on Thursday evening by Rt. Rev. Dr. Sprott, Bishop of Wellington, who was assisted by Rev. D. J. Davies, the vicar. Tnere was a good congregation.
Addressing the candidates, Dr Sprott said that the core of Christianity was the reproduction of the qualities of Christ. God had become man, he said, in order to give us a pattern, or an ideal. However, the right spirit had to be obtained to enable us to reproduce that picture, and the real quality of Christ in its application to modern circumstances had to be caught, instead of there being a slavish conformation to external mannerisms.
