The bishops burden OF grief has been i'm
measurably lightened by the many touching
words of consolation which he has received
from all parts of the country; but nothing
has SO moved him as that evidence of tender

Mrs Mrs. Cornelia Whlpple was the eldest
daughter of Hon. Benjamin Wright. born i'll

famed for its beautiful and cultivated
women. In childhood she and her husband
attended the same school. She finished her
education at Mrs. Emma Wizards cele-
brated Troy Female academy and won the
love OF Mrs. Willard, who became her life
long friend. She taught several years in
South Carolina. and provided largely the

faithful minister of the church.
In 1912 she was married, her husband be-

led him to the church, and as they were con-

academy. In 1947 Mr.. Whipple became q
candidate for holy ORDERS and was ordained
deacon by Bishop De Lancey in 1919, and
accepted the charge of Zion church: Rome,

loved by all who knew her. The ruling pas

early days she visited both the Sioux and

1868 the bishop brought number of Chris

homes on his land. Mr.. Faribault and the
bishop cared for them. An Indian service

Mrs. Whipple was as the bishop has
always said, his right hand in all good work,
and especially in laying the foundation of
the Faribault schools. The best work done
is in laying the foundations, and this work
has history which few know. Mrs Brock,
Mrs. Nancy and Mrs. Whipple.received into
their homes students, and often when they
had no servants, making the hardest toll
light by woman's love. For years Mrs. Whip

knew what strength such faith gave her
husband to believe that if they worked in
faith the harvest would come From the day
when the first corner stone was laid she
never had a doubt of the success of every
plan.
She came of church family reaching back
many generations. Her grandmother was
confirmed by Bishop Seabury. her mother by
Bishop Hobart, and she by Bishop Onder-
donk. She reverenced and loved the minis
tiers of Christ as having the hottest Office on
the earth, and she knew no greater joy than
to minister TO their comfort. Many have
found her home a hOSpice and her sister of
mercy. For ten or twelve years the bishop
has made his winter home in Maitland, Fla.
After the death of two of her children Mrs.
Whipple determined to build a church and
parsonage to their memory. Her efforts were
blessed and part of the means came from
her personal labor. The congregation is

of the Good Shepherd; it has been indeed
the church of the reconciliation. Eight

Of her whole life we can say as was said of
one of old: she has done what she could. -
Mrs. Whipple has one widowed sister liv-

of Hon. Henry Horn, of st. Paul. She has
