A BLACK AND WHITE
Recently the Bishop of Accra was asked to confirm candidates from the Air Force stationed m his diocese. Hearing that a Confirmation was to be held "at Winneba, 70 miles from Accra, the airmen asked if they couldgo there, as they would much prefer to be confirmed along with the African candidates. The African Christians were intensely pleajjed, and prepared a great welcome for the airman. "The Con-* firmation," writes the Bishop, "was one of the most beautiful and reverent that I can call to mind." There were 40 African candidates and 32 airmen, and a number of brother soldiers came to support them. One by one they came, up, •Africans and Europeans alternately, and were called upon by name to make their promise; and Europeans' and Africans knelt together side by. side for the laying-on of hands.
