n
Most Reverend Ropert Gulstan,
- Bishop of Panopolis. is in Los An
geles. lie arrived here on the Al
ameda and was the object OF much dis
tinguished courtesy on the part OF his
fellow travellers. The Bishop proved
an admirable traveller and at table, on
deck and In the smoking room was q
welcome addition to all circles.
While his observation-disclosures was much
admired, his entrance to the smoking
room was the signal for surcease OF
those yarns which pass current for wit
among most men, but of the telling of
which many men are assumed. The
bishop cast no reproachful giances at
the raconteurs, nor did he say aught
of rebuke for their loose words, but his
way of drawing his cloak about his
shoulders and retiring to a corner of
the room to smoke alone, filled the
thoughtless chaps with sorrow. So af-
ter the first day out the very air of
the smoker was clearer for the presence
of the Bishop of Panopolis, and when
he took his mild stinulant, others has
tened to order the same that they
might be like the good dignitary i'm
spirit at least
III TINS j AM informed ny ,ploHti
George Macfarlane, who came up on
the Alameda with the bishop, and who
entertained him while here at the Cal
fornia Hotel, of which Colonel Macfar-
lane is part proprietor. The Colonel is
not a Catholic, nor can he be accused
of any leanings toward Rome, but he
says he has an intense sympathy with
the mission of the priests among the
aSnariallV a.
acter of the Bishop of Panopolis.
I'm the distant parts of Hawaii,
where the roads fade into trails, and
the trails into rough shadows of trails.
when have been riding, on business, !
have met the Catholic priest bent on an
errand Of mercy, seeking to cheer .he
sick or comfort the dying, and | have
thought" says Colonel Macfarlane
that the sincerity and sself-abnegation
which inspires such journeys and at
tendant hardships. are worthy of the
deepest respect and strongest approval
l remember once when Frank Spencer
and i were jogging along ahorse look
ing after some land interests, we hap
pened on priest bound for the very
summit of the mountain. He was Dent
and wearied with the way, but greeted
us cheerily, and, answering Spencer
said that he was going to visit a ma
tive who was dying, frlendless and
alone, in little hut above. The priest
had to ford twice a stream swollen tC
a torrent by the rains, and had to live
on jerked beef and paiai for the three
or four days of his journey, but his JOY
at being able to help his stricken par
ishioner was so apparent that we mar
veled at 1t greatly. Spencer told me
he met this true shepherd constantly
in all weathers, tending his flock ant
sharing their fortunes, however lowly
He had seen him Fastening to dig the
graves of natives who had no one else
to perform that duty"
Colonel Macfarlane says that he en-
joyed his four months sojourn in Ho-
nolulu, but finds his hands full of bust
ness after so long an absence from Sar
seen much of each other in the past few
days.
