! is we'll known that Methodist Bishops
are not like Episcopal Bishops, in that
they are never assigned TO permanent
diocese, but are 'itinerant," Just as
other Methodist preachers are They
live where they please, but must "move
on" according 10 the orders Of the
church. So Bishop Morrison may be
here this year and somewhere else next
year. He is one of the most popular
Bishops in the church. Born in fennes-
see, reared and living in Kentucky the
major portion of his life, he has become
known as one Of the finest pulpiteers of
the whole South. A man of the finest
physical presence, massive head, splen-
did and magnetic voice, rich imaPina-

victory put him prominently before that

these days of wonderful prosperity
and rapid fortune making, has blighted
homes innumerable Money, honestly
got and wisely used is good to have,
but there is not enough Of it In all the
world to recompense the sweet joys OF
the humblest home that is lit and
warmed by love. Prosperity is
precious blessing to those worthy OF
1T and able to stand 1t. But all the
wealth of the mines and farms ana
factories cannot give such genuine
and enduring satisfaction to the soul
as does the wealth Of love and faith
and sacrifice that makes the home the
cornerstone Of civilization. The real
life is not outside ourselves, but
within. The real possessions are not
what the hands may grasp, but what
the heart may hold A lot Of men
will not believe these vital truths are
anything but empty distractions. In
their infatuation for the material. the
practical, they recognize no values
that are not marketable and see no
substance in anything they cannot
clutch in their palms They must
wreck home before they know what
it Ia made Of. They mul. em-
bitter and blast their lives before
they can learn what is worth while
in them To be rich and still retain
the simple virtues and the honest loves
there is the real prosperity.
