DIR. BENJAMIN BREWSTER.
BISHOP OF MAINE
Comes as Surprise to Many New Eng.
land EpiscOpnIians.

Boston, Jan. e7.-The election Wednes-
day at oPrtiand by the diocesan convcn-
ton of the Rt. Rev. Benjamin Brewster OF
Glenwood Springs. colo, AS Episcopal
bishop of Maine came as great surprise
to New England Episcopalians church,
men az we'll as laymen. His name had
not before been mentioned, and so far as
is generally known. had not been under
consideration. Although a New England
man by birth, having been born at New
Haven in 1850, educated at Yale and
brother OF Bishop Chauncey Bunce Brew
ster, of Connecticut. he was not widely
known in this section. He is regarded as
moderate churchman. so that his cleo.
ton as successor 10 the late RI. Rev.
Robert Goldman, who was high church
man. may be taken as having been in the
nature OF compromise
The Portland convention early in De.
cember failed to make a choice owing TO
a conflict between the high churchmcn
and the low churchmen Of this diocese,
the line having been drawn rather sharp
~ at that time between the clergy and
the laity. The deadlock caused an adj
journment to the present convention to-
day, when the election was promptly &C.
complished.
The most prominently discussed were
the Rev Dr. George L. Nicholson OF
Somerville. Mass. and Suffrage Bishop
Samuel c. Babcock of Massachusetts.
The Rev Dr. John Mockridge rector or
St James church. End and Walnut
streets, Philadelphia, had been under
considerations hut. although 1t had been
understood he was in receptive frame
of mind. he declined to permit his name
to he considered, feeling that 1t was his
duty 10 remain at St James in view OF
his short term there,
After graduating at Yale in 1852 Bishop
Brewster went to the General Theological
Seminary, New York. from which he was
graduated in 1856 He was ordained as
priest the following year and became as
sistant rector Of Calvary Church, New
York. and aftcrward vicar of Calvary
chapel He was rector Of the Church Of
the HOLY Communion Of South Orange.
y. j.. from lNl to 1898. lie then went tn
the western field. in which he made his
reputation, becoming rector Of Grace
Church of Colorado Springs. Colo, in
1896 and remaining until 1905, when nc be-
came dean of St. Mary's Cathedral OF
Salt Lake city Utah. In l"9 he was
consecrated missionary bishop of west

opposed to the nomination. but declined
to be quoted to that effect The only
senator found who was willing pub
licly to record his opposition was Sena-
