Distinguished AssembIage of Epis-
cOpal Ministers Assists in Serv-
ices-Eloauent Sermon by
Bishop Morrison.

The ceremony of installing Bishop Ed
sail into the bishopric of the diocese Of
Minnesota was celebrated at Cnrist's
church yesterday at IL o'clock. The cere-
mony was elaborate and impressive. and
was attended by the leading churchmen
of Minnesota, wisconsin Iowa and Ne
braska. There has seldom been such a
distinguished assemblage Of Episcopal
ministers Seen in the Twin Cities.
The most imposing part of the entire
ceremony was the procession of minis
tiers, there being nearly fifty ministers in
the procession. The assembIage of min
listers attired in full canonieal robes. was
a scene that was beautiful, as We'll as
impressive. The choristers entered sing
ing the professional hyma, and We're
preceded by the crossbearcr. The young
er members of the clergy. to the number
of twenty-four, followed these and form
ed a double line, extending nearly the en-
tire length of the nave. Between this
double line the bishops marched, follow
ed by the other members of the clergy.
The younger clergymen then formed in
procession ana marched TO the raised
procession and marched to the raised
them on either side OF tue ehancel.
Bishop Edsall marched third in the
procession of bishops, and his appearance
shows that he is mar upon whom the
and of fine physical build and will make
an imposing appearance in the full ca
nonical robes of a bishop.
The installa ton ceremony was in itself
quite simple, being bI. an adaptation If
the ceremony for the installation of
minister. Bishop Morrison. of Duluth,
acted as institutor. Rev. George II. Davis,
d. D., of Mankato, president of the
standing committee, welcomed the new
bishop, on behalf of the diocese, as the
spiritual ruler and guide of the diocese.
Bishop Edsall responded in the words OF
the ceremonial form.
After the Installation Bishop Morrison,
of Iowa, delivered an eloquent address.
He spoke of the dangers hat Ii: before
the church in the West. EIe said that
there We're fewer Episcopalians in the
West in proportion to the population than
there were twenty years ago. The cause
of this he thought to be a storm of false
spiritualism which has swept over the
land in the last few years. He urgeH
the clergy present to teach the true
spirituality. He thinks that ceremony
cannot overcome this wave, but shat it
will require great deal of intellectual
training. ''You cannot deceive modern
man." said Bishop Morrison HE will
have the truth
ST believe that the Episcopal church
Is less strong today in the West, relative
ly with the population, than it was
twenty-five or thirty years ago. To blink
this fact is weakness, but to look it
squarely in the face is strength
'fYou are not going to make men and
women believe that heaven and earth are
one at the altar by. any form or care
monial, and not until they can see an
ordained priest go to the altar in oroi-
nary dress and still feel the majesty %
the Office can they have learned the les
son of an intellectual and a spiritual re-
1igion, rather than a ceremonial.
After the ceremonies of the forenoon
were over the visitors were treated to q
luncheon in the parish house, and fully
200 partook of the hospitality provided.
After luncheon was served the visitors
again gathered in the church to listen TO
an able and entertaining address on the
subject of Missions by the Rev. Will
lian1s, bishop coadjutor of Nebraska.
