0 which / ever heard from the lips Of an,

r livered by Bishop Ames, at the Contra

! quent, Bishops Thomson and Clark 10 BIZ
more classical and scholarly, Bishops
Scott and Morris to be more pithy and
practical; but no Bishop was ever more
, completely the muster Of such an occasion
than Edward r. Ames. His words and
sentences were weighty, deliberate ,cogent,
majestic and comprehensive, He spoke
J with q solemnitY, and authority behtting
singh office, and yet, with o depth Of
sympathy, and power OF pathos which
moved and melted, and captured every
listener. There were gushes Of humor,
and flashes Of Imagination, and CLEANS OF
poetry, and aptness Of illustration, which
could not but be noticed but Of which the
speaker himself seemed to be utterly un.
conscious; and yet, as q whole, the ad-
dress rather included these than depended
on them, FORTS force, grandeur and effect.

New York Conference for 1877, a meagre
outline oil the address TO which l have
