Bishop Brooks preached his last
sermon at the Church of tine Good Shep-
herd. on COrteS street, last Tuesday
evening. The scene at the bishops
house this morning was one of grief and
desolation. No Grape had at that time
been placed on the door, and anxious
friends, among whom the news had
spread, were making inquiries on the
street and in the Immediate nelghbOr-
hood of every one they saw coming out
of the house. A few of the bishops
most intimate friends could not under
stand it. The spirit that pervaded the
aSSemblage was one of complete and
overwhelming sorrow. They could not
comprehend the fact that Bishop Brooks
was dead, and again and again the
question was asked: ''Is the bishop
really dead?" That their beloved pastor
and friend had left them forever seemed
to grasp the significance of his death.
