The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the //./^^ Signature of C^^ ^ ORDAINED TQ THE PRIEST HOOD. An unusual, it rc ay be said almost a unique event, in tbe history of tbe Episcopal Cbnrcb in tbe diocese of South Carolina oc curred yesterday io the ordination of three yoong men in deacon's orders to the priest hood at tbe Chorcb cf the Holy Communion ID this city. These yoong men are tbe Rev. Messrs. H. J. M.kell, J. Cash Waring acd J. H. Brown, who have teen at work since last November, when they together with the Rev. Dr. F. L. Frost, were ordained deacons at St. Michael's Church. Mr. Mikell bas been assisting Dr. Porter at the Boly Communion Church ; Mr. Brown has been working under the Rev. Mr. Cornish, city missio ary, and at Pinopolis, and also on James Island, while tbe Rev. Mr. Waring baa bad charge of the two parishes on Santee, near McClellanville, and that across the river also. The service began with morning prayer at ll o'clock, the Rt. Rev. E. Capers, D. D., Bishop of the diocese; the Rev. A. Toomer Porter, D. D ; the Rev. A. F.. Cornish being present, besides tbe three ordiaants, the Rev. Messrs Mikell, Waring and Brown, who occupied seats in tbe middle aisle of the church, near tse steps leading to tbe choir. The nsual vested choir waa reinforced yester day by several well-known soloists and a cornetist, and tbe music rendered was of a higher order of excellence. After mcrning prayer the Bishop preach d, bis text being 2 Timothy, 4 t 5 : "Make full proof of thy ministry," and the sermoa being an earnest setting forth of tbe duties and responsibilities o .Christian ministry, and an effectionate exhortation to the ordi nants to be faithful acd consecrated io their solemn office. His address to the yoong men was particulary fervent and fnll of fatherly love and counsel, and touched a teoder chord in he hearts of macy. After the sermon tbe Rev. Dr. Porter presented Messrs Mikell and Waring and the Rev. Mr. Cornish presented Mr. Brown. The Bishop then proceeded io tbe regular ordina tion service, as prescribed in the Book of Common Prayer. In the meantime the Rev. Drs. Johnson and Wilson and the Rev. Mr. Kershaw had entered and taken their place io tbe sanctuary to assist in the laying on of bands. After intoning "Veni Creator Spiritus" tbe solemn act of ordination was performed. The Bishop first imposing bis bands upon the bead of each of the ordinants, and the five priests present also joining with bim in the act, be spoke the words that conferred the au thority to them to exercice the office of j priests in the Church of God. After the imposition of bands a copy of the Holy I Scriptures was delivered to each of them and the authority conferred to preach the word and minister the boly sacraments ordained by Christ himself. The Bishop then delivered to each of them a certificate, or testimonia), of their ordination, aod invested them with the stole, the symbol of their will ing assumption of the yoke of Christ's ser vice. Tbe Bishop then proceeded with the Communion office, at which many who were present received: and the whole service came to an end with the blessing of peace. The chancel was beautiful with flowers and lights, and all the vestings were white, in keeping with the festal nature of the occasion. A very large coogregatioo attended tbe service, aod every available seat seemed to be occu pied. Taken altogether the service was solemn, dignified and imposing, weil calcu lated to impress and instruct all who were privileged to attend it. It is understood that the Rev. Mr. Mikell is to retain bis connection with the Church of the Holy Communion, wbere be bas served with great acceptability since his ordination to the diaconate. The Rev. Mr. Brown will ia a few weeks remove to Pinopolis, wbere be will have charge of the church there and at Strawberry. The Rev.
