First Nebraska Bishops
Continued from Page Four.)

portant sect. Bishop Newman mad been
the chaplain of the house of representatives
and had been the close friend and confdant
of the strong men who had carried the civil
war to a successful conclusion His abili-
ties had been seen and long known to the
men of affairs in every walk Of life, and
when he said that Omaha should be the
city to entertain the general conference of
the church the thing was all but ac-
comp!ished. A person intimately con-
nected with him in this movement said:
Bishop Newman displayed business ability
and aggressive tact in the matter which is
seldom found in the ranks of the clergy.
He proved himself not only a good bishop,
but an intelligent man of affairs, one who
could take a broad view of life and who
was not bound by the narrowness often
found among preachers"
The bishops of the Methodist church are
confined to no diocese; they are known
by the name of the community in which
they reside, not that in which they most
often serve, so while Bishop Newman was
bishop Of or rather in Nebraska, his field
of labor included the entire world, even
as Bishop McCabe, now resident of Omaha
is devoting his time to South America and
other foreign lands. But there is some
thing about the presence of bishop as a
resident of a community which calls for
more united effort on the part of the mem
bers of the church, and while Bishop New
man was often absent from the state his
residence in this state was coincident with
the time of the greatest activity in the
work of the church in the city and state, |
much of which was due TO the encourage
ment given by him, by his presence and
advice. Every important church in the city |
was either established or rebuilt during his |
term in Omaha, and the accessions to the |
church were numbered by the hundreds. |
With all of his activity and business he |
was one of the most approachable men in
the house of bishops and was one who had
ever word of encouragement and cheer
for all with whom he came in contact.
