Description of a Spirit.

'1 have been wondering how you have
managed to diferentiate Bishop Gran
ston from other bishops in describing
his career and rendering the need of
praise which he has so richly earned.
/ suppose that the life of one bishop is
very much like the life of another, and
to describe the career of one as dis
eliminated from that of another is very
much like describing one human face
as distinguished from other human
faces. which is as difficult an exercise
in the use of the language as know of
And as / have thought of that I realize
that what you really must attempt to
describe is not a career, but a spirit
IN any given career. if it be the
career in well organized profession
one man goes through the same func-
tons as another. but on do not retain
the same impressions of him. There is
distinctive note of individual lily which
he contributes. and which. if there be
genuine force in him. nobody else could
have contributed, and so you remember
something that makes it very proper to
speak. particularly in his profession. Of
the ghostly Influences which have char
acteriZed him.
