years, during which she occasionally APP

SOUTHERN METHODIST BISHOPS.
Rrief Sketches of the Leaders Of q Large
and Influential Body or Christians.

The curren. numbar of the Nashville
Christian Advocate contains the following
brief biographies:
Bishop Pierce, now the senior OF the body,
is still thin in hesb, but looks stronger than
he did year ago. His voice is also clearer,
and his general appearance indicates not
restoration TO his former strength, but real
improvement. That this improvement mAy
continue will be the wish and prayer Of all
our people.
Bishop Kavansugb wears his perennial
serenity and chserfulness, and looks about
as he did a couple OF decades ago, except
threads of gray slightly more numerous in
that head whose chronological development
Is 80 striking.
Bishop McTyeire gains little in weight,
anc losss nothing in Vigor, as time cresps by.
Those who see him at longer intervals cay
that be, too, shows more frost il his hair and
bead; and when we remember that his elec
ton to The episGopacy took place in 1866,
we have no cause fer surprise that he, the
then slim young editor, is now 8 stout, ma
ture-lookisg bishop.
Bishop Keener has renewed his youth dur
ing the past two yearz. His gait ia quicker,
his low OF animal spirits more lively, his
whole physical man 10 invigorsted. He
never seemed to be In batter working order,
or to have more enjoyment in the work Of
the Church.
Bishop Wilson looks as il the lsbors of the
year in his new Office had agreed with him,
but rs yet ne shows no signs of that adipo.e
development that seems somehow 90 likely
to follow accession to the episcopacy. A
hard years. work has tested his endurance
and he seems to be ready for another.
Bishop Parker, the nature Of whose lsbors
during the year, mostly in Texas, was great
change from those of The tripod, has come up
TO the annual meeting in capital condition,
the picture of good health, perhsps tri1.
more rotuBd than when he was made a
bishop year age. The Texans cay he took
TO their ways at once, az if 10 the manner
born.
Bishop Grsnbery looks so much like him
self that when he stepped into the sdnctunl
about the usual hour of the Saturday visits
we go much priced from 1873 to 1882, We al
most forgot Tor the moment that he had be IN
away. He locks little stouter, and bis
Vanderbilt sermon being taken as a sample,
breaches ss we'll az he did when he was 3
theological professor.
Bishop HRrgroye We mentioned in per
souat" last week. The only change percepti-
| bic in him is little of the Western-what
shall we call it?-swing. He is full of en-.
thusiasm for the work in the West, where hi
labors have been abundant and efficient.
1t will be a source of thankful congratula
ton tb at all these faithful servants of th-
| Church, with the exception noted, are il
| good health, snd have come up from thsi
different fields Of iabor in the fullnesE o
| blessing OF the gospel Of Christ.
