WILSON LAUDS BISHOP
CRANSTON AT BANQUET
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

do not retain the same Impressions of
him. There is distinctive note of indi-
viduality which he contributes and which,
IL 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 pro-
fession, of the ghostly influences which
have characterized him
"It is not, / take IT, by accident that
We speak of our ghostly advisors, not
meaning that they are ghosts, but that
in their advice spirit speaks to spirit.
And the things that are invisible are the
things that are vital So what we have
assembled to celebrate tonight, 1t seems
to me. is the spiritual influence Of an in
dividual coming like the fragrance OF a
flower out of the way in which he has
done ordinary things, out Of the way in
which he has performed accustomed func-
tions. 1t is the particular tone of flavor
of the man that we like, just as we can
make friends with some people and we
cannot make friends with others.
Some Give Creepy Feeling.
Some men give me a creepy feeling
the minute I am in the room with them,
and with other men I feel like opening
to them every thought that have. When
man like Bishop Cranston comes into
the room, feel like opening 10 him every
handsome thought that | have and con-
cealing all the rest. because l have an
instructive feeling that that is the thing
that would be acceptable to him That
is the test of the man-the kind Of con-
hdence you think he would relish, the
kind of story you think he would laugh
at, the kind OF principle that you believe
he would approve"
In answering the various toasts Bishop
Cranston said:
TO be thrown with good people, to |
grow with good people. and to be loved
by good people is the best thing that can
happen to a man. But only people who
have good things in them can see good
things in others. ! do rot deserve all /
of this. No man can do anything alone !
and what / have done l have been helped !
to do by others. This tonight is a demon
stration Of the brotherhood born in the |
human soul"
