Bishop Pierce is aging rapidly. His step is
feeble, his voice often fails him. As we look
upon the venerable, now bowed form of this
once erect and grand man OF God, we
think OF the crown awaiting him beyond
the surges OF The river of death. Like q
father among his children, like good shep-
herd IN the midst of mis- flock, he presides
over this conference, nearly all of whom are
his boys-trained to preach under his eye.
The bishop is still in Lagrange, the guest of
the Rev. P. A. Heard. He will go hence
next week to preside over::the Alabama Con-
