With One Accord, Words Of Praise
and Sorrow Fall From the Lips Of
Those Who Knew Him
mot my WILL, But Thine"

ing Rev. Oil of Grand Junction, Bishop
Spalding of Salt Lake and Percy Ur-
ban, lay reader of New Castle. Rev.
Oil and Mr.. Urban have charge of the
services, which will probably be mad,
more impressive by the Masons, of
which order Bishop Knight was a mem
Der.
In speaking of the death of Bishop
Knight which occurred yesterday, May
or Drach of Glcnwood Springs. had the
following to say:
"The death of Bishop Knight is a
matter of deep and general regret to
the people of Glcnwood Springs and
! from all sides one can hear expressions
of grief and sympathy as well as regret
over the untimely termination of use
| full life.
Though. with us. only brief year
q, it did not take our people long to
recognize in him the splendid qualities
| of manhood and intellectual force which
! would distinguish such man in any
| community, and the proof that he was
| appreciated, is clearly revealed in the
sorrow that is prevalent today.
A broad minded, liberal gentleman,
eminent in his profession, public spirit
cd and progressive, ever ready to assisr
our community by word and action in
l ~. nf ,;uI
progress, he bore the distinction of be-
| ing not only a great divine. but an
eminentlv useful and wide-awalie citi
zen as we'll
| A community or Il wori. for that
matter can i'll afford to Use such men.
and when cut off in the prime of life,
terminating career of usefulness
which otherwise might have continued
| for years to come, the magnitude of
the loss is revealed; and while the
world is always better that such men
have lived even so brief a period, one
cannot help but think how much better
it would have been had they continued
in this life until the sunset hour.
"But nature in its immutable laws,
is no respector of persons and the just
as well the unjust must obey the sum-
mons no matter when it comes, and il
is always n matter of sorrowful con-
! temptation when life of usefulness
and responsibility is terminated in
youth or at middle age, particularly
when it means so much to those who
are directly dependent upon that life
as is the family.
"To the sorrowing family of Bishop
Knight, the people of Glenwood
Springs extend their heartfelt sympa-
thy in the loss of a husband and father
while the memory of him as a man will
long be am inspiration to the many who
knew him.
In the selection of Bishop Knight the
general convention of the church made
a wise choice of n man to shepherd the
flock in the newly revived district OF
western Colorado. No one in the Amer
lean Episcopate has ever accomplished
in 80 short a time the work done by
Bishop Knight. His death means not
only the loss of a bishop, but of one of
the best citizens of the western slope.
And the accumulation of his Episcopal
duties he always found time to meet
men outside his church, and showed a
lively interest in everything that meant
progress to this part of the world. The
sorrow is widespread, throughout the
entire district, and expressions of low
ing sympathy come from those who
oily knew him to love him.
No other bishop has ever come nearer
his clergy than has Bishop Knight.
Even in the smallest details of practi-
cal work he showed most lively inter
est, and was in very fact father to
US all.
