CONFIRMATION.

[To ran Ronne or in “Sraczaroa.-]

Sxa,—A young man commits a most atrocious murder, is condemned, and almost to the last vehemently denies his guilt. With the terror of the scaffold before him he con- fesses and repents on the day before his execution. A Bishop is sent for, who confirms him, in order, one must suppose, that be may receive the Communion. And the elements of this Communion the missionaries who are labouring in Africa are not fit to receive if they happen to be Nonconformists ! Comment is unnecessary.—I am, Sir, &a, 65 Rutland Road, Chesterfield. KENNETH BOND.
