The New BishOp.

The Right Rev. Edward R. Welles,
successor Of the late Bishop Armitage as
Episcopal Bishop Of Wisconsin, conduct
ed the service at St. Pauls Church
Thanksgiving Day. The new Bishop
made fine impression and was attentive
ly listened to by all present.
For his sermon on the occasion the
Bishop chose for his text the 9th and 10th
verses of the Sd Chapter of Proverbs
Honor the Lord with thy substance,
and with the first fruits of all thine in
crease;
So shall thy barns be filed with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new
wine.
The discourse was plain and compre-
hensive and clothed with great beauty OF
language, the speaker dwelling on the
Importance as Christian duty of giving
a portion of ones income to carry on the
wol k of the Lord.
Bishop Welles! is person of abou t
medium height, OF dignifed presence and
bearing, and from appearances would
seem to be bordering on the verge OF
fifty. His manner / in conducting the
services, as well as his general demeanor
remind one very much of his lamented
predecessor.
While in the city Bishop Welles stop
ped at the residence of Hon. Theodore
Prentiss.
