Bishop Robinson is Nevada's s. first
bishop, having been elected to that
Office by the Baltimore council of last
year and was consecrated in April of
this year and arrived in Nevada to as
sumo the duties of his holy office
about two months ago, locating in Reno
which he has chosen as his see citv.
Previous to coming here he was engag-
ed in PASTORAL duties in Wisconsin.
Previous to his election the state was
divided into two districts, the eastern
being presided over by Bishop Leon
ard of Salt Lake and the western bv
Bishop Moreland of Sacramento.
The new Bishop is man of per-
haps so years of age, considerably
above the average size, with a hano-
some benign countenance, and his face
and figure, while considerable young
er man, bear strong resemblance to
his great contemporary, Bishop Potter
# New York.
The cornerstone of the Winnemucca
church was laid on June 18th of last
year, and the building was erected at
cost of approximately $4,000. There
is small balance still unpaid which
will be satisfied during the coming
year and sometime in January, 1909,
1t is expected that the edifice will be
eonsecrated. Since last September 4
regular monthly services have been
held by Archdeacon Haslett.
The congregation is composed nj
most entirely Of small band of pous
and devoted ladies, through whose un-
tagging energy the building Of the
handsome structure has been made pos
sible.
