The N. Y. Evening Post says Of him.. /
sPhes Bishop, although ifiais seventy

preached Wi ii e FRESHNESS, wholly without
notes, ana neld the respectful attention Of
the audience. He was consecfated at Rich
mond October 10, 1912. thirty -two years
ago, and he is fifth in the order of seniority
in the House of Bishop, having only Bish-
ops Smith. McCoskry, Nottingham, and
Lee in advance of him. He speaks, in CON
versation, cheerfully of the prospects Of
his State in every respect He thinks that
business is rapidly recovering from the
disasters Of the war, and that the vast
mineral and agricultural resources Of Vir-
gina are to give her great prosperity in
the future. He is cheered by the proceed

that all fears of discard are set at rest 10y
the decided &C ion of the delegates upon
the most important subjects. His diocese
is interesting as being the primitive seat of
theAmerican Protestant Episcopal Church,
and it's strong Protestant spirit is readily
explained, from its dating from time
(1607) before the IIigh-Church reaction
had shown itself in England Under Arch
bishop Laud. The first church built by
English Episcopalians in America was at
jamestown, and there is a portion Of it's
tower still to be seen-the ancient land
