Our Methodism has lost one of her loftiest characters, one of her ripest scholars and one of her greatest ecclesiastical states men. Though he presided over but one conference.-the Illinois after his election to the episcopacy, he gave every promise of becoming tower sf strength in that sacr ed and responsible office.
