The Rev. Edward Eggleston writes appre
ciatively of the late Bishop James: 81 have
heard him talking to company Of frontier
ministers in threadbare clothes, pinched for
the necessities of life, waiting to receive from
his lips assignments to circuits which could not
pay them the wages of farm laborers. At such
a time his xquislte personal sympathies with
their sufferiogs, his intense admiration for
their devotion, and his whole-hearted desire to
stimulate this devotion, made his words like
flames of fire. L have seen such an audience
sitting in weeping and breathless attention for
an hour aud three quarters by the watch, while
he expounded to them the gories of Christian
self-S8crfice."
