DIR. HENRY Y. sArTERLEE.s
The Episcopal Convention for the
election OF a successor of the late 3. S.
Harris as Bishop of the diocese of East
ern Michigan convened in Detroit lately.
The meeting was entirely harmonious.
and unanimously elected Rev DIR. Henry
4. Satterlee, rector of Calvary Church, of
New York City. Both the laity and clergy
were a unit for him. there being but fifteen
opposing votes on the informal ballot.
!. Rev. DIR. carp of Ann Arbor received two
ptes, Rev. G. Mott Williams of Detroit
0ne, and j. w. Brown one. 1t was un-
derstood that if the election was given 10
DIR. Satterlee with practical unanimity
early in the convention he would accept.
The position of Bishop of Michigan is one
of the best places in the Episcopal Church.
The diocese is in excellent shape. The
salary of $4,000 year is exceeded in
but two or three dioceses in the United
ment is insured by fund of $4,000 well
invested. Then there is residence in
Detroit which is as good as $1,000 adj
ditional. The Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee,
the Bishop-elect, was born in New York
City about forty-five years ago. After
being educated in the public schools he
was graduated at the General Theological
Seminary in New York. He was ordained
deacon in 1885 and priest in 1867. Upon
his ordination he became curate OF Zion
Church, Wappinger Falls, n. Y, and q
few years later, upon the death of the
rector, succeeded to the rectorship of
the parish. During his rectorship
of this church he developed an I'M
usual degree of administrative abil-
ity, and when he left it, about seven
years ago, there was q communicant
list of nearly 500, being the largest parish
\ IN the diocese outside the city of New
4 York. Upon the death OF the Rev. Dr.
. Washburn DR.. Satterlee was elected to the
rectorship of Calvary Church, the largest,
most Influential, and wealthiest in the
country, it being his present parish. 1t
was difficult and delicate task to walk
in the footsteps OF men like DR.. Francis
l.. Hawks, Bishop Coke, and Dr. Wash
burn, but the youthful and energetic rec
tor entered upoa his duties with q spirit
of enthusiasm, which the trials of a large
parish have not in the least checked His
ability as preacher is fully recognized
in New York, and he has been remark
ably successful in developing all the
agencies for good, for which his parish
is so we'll known. At the Episcopal Con-
. vention Of the diocese OF Chic, Leld at
Cleveland in March, 1888, DR.. Sattellee
n was elected Assistant Bishop after long
balo.ing. The procee ]ings of the con-
vention were characterized by extreme Bit
terness of feeling letween the two factions
in the church. Bishop Bedell being a
prorounced low churchman naturally de-
sired as an assistant some one in harmony
with his own views. The high churchmen,
. however, stood out against tie candi-
date proposed by the Bishop, and as n
compromise DR.. Satterlee was elected
by vote of III 10 ii. He declined
the call, however, on the petition
of his church, the leading members
of which presented him with testi-
lmonial 81 he'd by every member of the
parish At this time DR.. Satterlee also
received testimonials &om about thirty
parish organiza ions, signed by more than
half of the parighioaers, calling on him
to remain in New 70 k. DR.. Satterlee is
over six feet in height nud is built pro-
poitiona ely. He is st ,lwart, vigorous,
and of fine presence, and is a man who, as
a bishop of any ocese, would add dig
nifty to the Office and win the esteem of
all parties in the church. Ho was mar
ried while quite young % Miss Leroy, of
New York City, and has two Children
daughter OF I6 and ION OF 81 years.
Ex-Governor Baldwin is warm personal
friend of DR.. Satierlee's, and 1t was
through him that the election was made
SO I'M nimous.
An effort is making in Bay City to
raise $4,000 for new Presbyteria n
church.
