The following is the substance of Rev. r.
It. Browns tribute;
"Our hearts are saddened by the intelli-
gence suddenly informing this diocese of its
bereavement in the departure of our venera-
BILE Senior Bishop to the rest in paradise.
Death has peculiar sacredness of its own
in clothing the memories of our great men
with a tenderness Of appreciation causing
their frailties to vanish from view, while it
brings out their virtues more distinctly in its
embalming light William Pollinson Whit
tingham, take him for all in all, was one of
the most rarely endowed bishops in our
American Church. Enmity itself, if so ig-
noble feeling can linger around the por-
tails of such tomb, must unite in the hearty
outburst of sorrow, that mighty man has
fallen in Israel! "Help, Lord, for the godly
man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among

manding respect from those who could not
admit all its reasonings, strengthened by an
erudition rare in American scholarship,
adorned by a culture as comprehensive in
its range as il was beautiful in its texture,
combined To make him the foremost man in
our House Of Bishops. His utterances cleo
trifed the whole church in this country. His
opinions were quoted as weighty authority
in our Mother Church of England. His in
fuence was felt in Europe in directing and
animating the Old Catholic movement on
whose tidal wave another Ark of Reforma-
ton Is now rising among the floods Of for
eign thought Such character was too
sharply defined in its diamond outlines not
to cut its own keen way through opposing
opinions and errors which he believed 10 be
dangerous to the truth. He was true and
grand Prophet according to the light and
bent of his own convictions. The machinery
Of his mental operations was ever on fire
with the intensity Of consuming zeal. The
prophets mantle on his shoulders was radi-
ant with the glory of the chariots and horses
that waited to wait him to the prophets
heaven. You who have heard and seen him
In this church and elsewhere, before physi-
cal infirmity had bowed and married his form,
will not soon forget the wonderful eyes that
seemed to drink in their light from the loun-
tains Of the sun, that unearthly face glow
ing with mingled genius and devotion, that
voice in its incisive, ringing tones pcaling
forth truths that will never die. Such men
live too high above earth's common and cor
roding conflicts, too near the border-line of
celestial thoughts and worlds, 10 be duly es-
timated or understood in their day and
generation. His fiery, fervent spirit is now
bathing its suffering powers in the SWEET cool
calm Of paradise. There let him rest in peace
