HIGH TRIBUTE
 TO THE BISHOP
Men of Phoenix Host to Visiting Clergy, With Bishop Atwood As Guest of Honor; Grave and Gay Compliments Paid Him

all his heart. but repudiated the old. ! Gravely and then 9ayly, the repre- sentdtives of the clergy and laity of the missionary district over which . the bishop presides, did homage to him last night, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of his coming Sriced with rare wit. the addresses | conveyed a depth of love and appreci- atiun that fairly engulfed the good churchman, ard as Toastmaster Kent ! expressed it, made him blush, all though the blush was hidden.
 Over a hundred gathered at the Womans club last night at the ban quc:, which was given by the men of Phoenix, of all denominations. At the toastmaster's right, sat the guest of honor; on his left Dean George Hedges of the Cambridge Theo.ogical Seminary. a very old friend Of the bishop. On either side. sat prominent members of the clergy and laity
 Dr. Ray C. Harker, pastor of tn, First Methodist Episcopal church pro- nounced the invocation.
 Judge Ken, called first upon Gov ernor Hunt to respond to a toast on The Nation and Our State" The governor paid a high tribute to the work of Bishop Atwood and his clergy in upbuilding the church in Arizona.
 Dean Hodges said that Bishop Att wood had made himself inevitable and necessary tc Arizona. He related Tow he had come to this new country on account of the i'll health of his wife. ana had found glory in new work. Tt IS hard to he under the trammels of even an excellent tradi- tion. he said. We live in a time when novelty is respectable We are not interested in old things because of their age Thus in Arizona. Bishop Atwood had found field for those many excellent qualities he . possesses, and. as testimonial to his l success. he pointed to the achieve ments-the wonderful things accom- plished in his five years service.
 Dean William Scarlet of Trinity o-Cathedral told of his intimate work with the bishop. how they had lived together ever since he came here
 
 CT. he declared. was St Lukc's Home. an institution that grew out of Bishop l AtWood's desire to do something for the unfortunates who came here by force of circumstances. and had be 1 come practically a burden upon the community.
 He has also addressed himself to the general work of the church" said Dean Scarlett He has brought about . cooperation V r.th the other churches of the state, which did not exist be- fore"
 Judge John !. Hawkins of Prescott chancellor of the missionary district spoke for the laity He talked the lights cut Humorously. he corrected Judge Rents allusion to the diocese" of Arizona, and told about the logal work in connection with the irstltu- tion. As he proceeded darkness reigning in the hall. he related much Of the history of the church in this state. Suddenly, the lights blazed mp. and in few more well chosen words. he intimated that he would take ad- vantage of the present lucid interval t0 make his speech again. Perhaps this was an unfortunate threat. for the glim was instantly doused again. and Judge Kent was constrained. af- ter having tried to fill in the inter val to introduce the guest of honor in the dark.
 Bishop Atwood said he wa5 for tanate in having heard his obituary. Such flattering things as had been said ol hiIa that evening. were scl dom pronounced while the subject lived and could reply to them. His talk was short but full of feeling. as fe expressed his appreciation of the loyal words addressed to him durina the evening.
