an eight month period provided the background for a reception of new members of the christian church at trinity united church the service was held last sunday on the occasion of the observance of pentecost go ing back to the earliest tradition available to the church the reformed church attempts to receive new members in the same spirit and in as much the same way as the earliest chur ches did since the bible records that the authority in a congregation is to be exercised through the elders the conrirmands were trained by the minister in a course of instruction authorized by the session ofelders part of the course is prepar ing and handing in the sum maries of 10 sermons at the conclusion of their course of in struction the session interview ed all the candidates for confir mation

minister laid hands on each candidate to formally acknow ledge that each person was ac knowledged by the session to be a believer as hands were laid on each persons head the pres ence of the holy spirit was in voked to confirm that person in rhe promises they had just made thus the power given to the church was exercised in the first century according lo the scriptures and so the reformed church continues the tradition 1900 years later following the confirmation and the baptisms the minister and mrs dowding and mr hart exercised the an cient custom of extending the right hand of fellowship to each new member this very old practice was a sign of peaceful intent and equality symbolis ing the christian vow to be ir- charity with all men and that all menare the same in jesus christ as a memento of the day and the occasion mrs dowding on behalf of the session presented a lapel pin to each as a reminder that as disciples df christ we are under his discipline and that the
