Bishop Edsall held his first service in
Fargo last Tuesday evening and his
popularity as a prelate was attested by
one of the largest crowds which has ever
attended a similar service in Fargo. The
bishops address was characterized by it's
sound logic and was a masterpiece. The
great church was crowded to it's utmost
capacity and a large number could not
gain admission to the building and were
compelled to return to their homes.
Bishop Edsall is an able man and is
bound to be popular with the pastors
and laymen of his diocese.
