BISHOP HENDERSON.

In the Methodist Episcopal Church
there is no man wLo is better loved
than Bishop Theodore S. Henderson,
whose kindliness and learning have
not alone brought him to a high
position in his own denomination but
who had gained the admiration OF
clergymen and 1aymen of others. DE-.
Henderson was elected a Bishop at
the general conference held in Min
neapolis in 1912. He was born at
Milburn, N. J., May IA, 1868, and is
therefore today forty-nine years Old
He entered the ministry in 1898, at
the New York East conference. Bish-
op Henderson is particularly well
known for his evangelistfc work In
1902 he organized the first annual
conference commission OF evangelism
in the New York East conference and,
as a result, the general conference at
Los Angeles appointed a commission
Of Evangelism in 1904. In 1906 DR..
Henderson was detached from the
passionate and became corresponding
secretary of the commission and gave
his entire time to this evanSelist1c
work, which was an inspiration work
among thet annual conferences and
colleges. At the general conference
in 1904 he was appointed chairman
Of the special committee on evangel-
ism. Since his elevation to the
Bishoprfc he has remained in charge
of the evangelistfc work Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
