SELECT BISHOP FOR
WESTERN COLORADO

The House of Bishops of the Episco
pal church, which met in New York
Thursday, selected Benjamin f. Brew
ster of Salt Lake City to be Bishop of
the diocese of Western Colorado.
Rev. Brewster was formerly located
a. Colorado Springs, but for some time
past has been dean of the Cathedral at
Salt Lake City. He has been in the
west for about fifteen years.
Although no definite information has
been given as to where the new Bishop
will reside, it is believed by many that
he will select Glenwood not only for
reasons that guided the late Bishop
Knight, in making his selection. but the
beautiful home in this city Will be an
added inducement to Bishop Brewster
