The election of Dean Lawrence, of the Cam
bridge Episcopal Divinity School, to the Bish-
opIic of Massachusetts will commend itself gen
orally to the Episcopaians of that state. While
he ranks as a Broad Churchman, he is by no
means a radical in bis views; and those who
know him best are confident that he will be
the bishop Of the whole diocese. and not Of any
party in it. lie is a man of high intellectual
attachments. and is at once product and cX-
ample of what is best in New England culture.
This fact will do much 10 reconcile those who
wond have preferred a higher Churchman. For
the feeling is strong in the diocese that only
Massachusetts man can understand and solve
the peculiar problems that confront the Church
in that State. As Dean Lawrence was not
only a warm personal friend of Bishop Brooks.
but was also in sympathy with his policy and
views. there will be 10 break in the work OF
the diocese as there would have been had
High Churchman been elected.

clear, settled weather.
The rainfall has been very heavy all along
