Biography Of Bishop Wilmer

Through the courtesy or the
Editor of the COURIER | have re-
Gently had the opportunity of read
ingavc vcry entertaining book entitled
Richard Hooker Wilmer, second
Bishop of Alabama, biography 4"
by Rev. WalterC Whitaker. Mr..
Whitaker was at one time mem
Der of the Diocese OF Alabama. and
was in intimate relations with
Bishop Wilmer. so he is eminently
qualified for his work. He gives
us, OF course. some account of the
ancestry, parentage and early
years of the good Bishop; and
dwells at some length upon the
period of his ministry in Virginia.
That ministry was exercised chiefly
In Goochlaud county, in BerryvilIc
and at Brook Hill. near Rich
mond. We find many characteris-
TIC anecdotes which have become
more or less familiar 10 those who
have for years been hearing OF
the Bishops wit and humor. Itis
i matter of local interest to note
that the lovely shade trees which
beautify the rectory lawn i'm Berry
vile were nearly all planted by
HIM while he WAS rector here. and
1t Is also said thai the porch ON the
eastern side of th,. nou-c was built
during tiat time. Bun large
portion OF Mr.. Whitakel'> "biog-
raphy" is taken up with the occur
rences in which the Bishop was
concerned growing out OF the war
between the states. Bishop Will
mer had very decided convictions
ON the questions of slavery and of
the rights OF the several States.
and he had the courage of those
convictions. He was often in con
flct with the military authorities.
and for a time the churches of his
Diocese were closed by their order.
But 1t appears that In all contro-
versies the Bishops strong intellect
and his read V wit gave him a great
advantage. And when we read
what he hast say aboutthose vexed
questions of long ago we can't help
feeling that logically he was right.
He was sometimes spoken of a. the
Confederate Bishop because hi,
cOnsecration took place in a seeded
State.
After the war he took hold OF his
work, andfor thirty odd years
labored faithfully and effectivly
for his beloved Church. Often in
i'll health and at last requiring the
assistance of coadju,or he never,
theless held the reins firmly and
his master mind was felt through,
out his Diocese, and indeec
throughout the whole church. III,
was Il power i'm the General Con.
yention, and when he spoke was
always listened to. His church
manship was strong and sound, hi,
religion sturdy and true, and his
whole life an example of what ;
christian ought to be. We lool
upon him as a born leader of men
and whenever his influence wa,
welded it is felt to this day
Very few indeed survive who Sa
under his ministry in Grace ChDrch
BerryvilIe, but he did his part il
shaping religious life and we be
lievc the effects still remain.
1t could most truly be said tha
when he passed from this earth
prince and n great man had fallen
But better than all be was a maj
of God, one whose watch word wa
loyalty In the Master under who's
banner he fought,

rect idea of Bishop Wilmer on

The session of federal court is now

account of the death of his little son.
Attorney Gregg is not here today and
there are plenty OF civil matters to
keep the court grinding the balance OF
the week. Judge Campbell wants to
adjourn this session Saturday but il
may be that some cases will be tried
next week. Court meets in November
in Chickasha and the judge has a
great deal of work to do before the
term is called. All the cases that
were before the Indian Territory
court of appeals that involved federal
questions have been placed in Judge
Campbell's hands for adjudication and
this gives him a vast amount of work
besides the regular work of the court.
When court adjourned at noon today
Judge Campbell took occasion 10 say
he had never met finer set of lawyers
than in Ardmore and said Ardmore had
legal talent equal to any town of the
