AT this point in his discourse, Bishop

continuing, said:

perplexities and trials which await you
to know that the blessing OF those
whom you have sought to bless and
help will follow you.
But do not suppose. in leaving the
special work Of pastor for the more
general work of a bishop, the impor-

diminished. The circle of that influence
is only widened. 1 have not meant to
say that the bishop should wrap him.
