I began last Sunday afternoon to speak to you on the subject of the confirmation which, as you have heard, will be held in less than two months from this time. You will remember that I pointed out how impossible it is to understand confirmation while we are ignorant about baptism, and how impossible to understand baptism unless we know and believe in the Church into which we enter by baptism. That therefore was the subject which chiefly occupied us last Sunday, the Church; not the building called a church in which we are now met, not even the Church of England, that body to which we belong and Dissenters do not, but the Church of Christ, the Holy Catholic Church, in which we declare that we all believe every time that we repeat the creeds. Of course I did not attempt to bring before you all that might be truly said about the Church, but only so much as it most concerns you to know for the right understanding of baptism and confirmation. Let me repeat once more in a few words the chief matter of the sermon.
