Welcome to Bishop Andrews.
A pleasant interruption was made in
the business by Rev. Manley S. Hard.
ID. D., who submitted the following
resolutions to Bishop Andrews with
rising vote:
Whereas, The adjustment in Episco-
pal service has brought to the presiden-
cy of this session our brother and fell
low laborer, Bishop Andrews, we wish
by these words to assure him of a cor
dial welcome, a hearty esteem, q trust
that Is not partial and q confidence
that is vital and far-reaching to us.
We do not forget that twenty years
have marched away since he entered
this high office. Years back of those
however, brought him into the Oneida
conference, of which this territory was
then a part
This morning seven names have been
called from our roll who preceded our
good bishop into the ministry. Brothers
Halstead. George Parsons, Rose,
Brooks. Clarke. George Peck, Leach.
These had to do with getting him in
the conference at all. Eight were in
that class Of probationers in 1S4S. Half
Of them, Orcott, Crykendall, Walker
and Porter, have bivouacked on a field
that will not open again with strife
Four remain. Two Of them, Brothers
Calvin V. Arnold and Jasper w. Hew-
lit, are honored among us. The third
is DR.. Ami B. Hyde, known in all
Methodism as an author and educator
of high merit. The fourth and best
known of all the eight Is he who pre-
sides over our gathering today, Bishop
Edward Gayer Andrews The presid-
ing elders who stood at the head of the
eight districts when he entered that
interesting company, |. e. Eddy, Con-
fort. Stocking, Sperry, Snyder, Bowen.
Shepherd and Reddy, have all outrun
