BISHOP JAMES HENRY McoY
Bv c a. SLAUGHTER.

We believe that all OF our bishops
are men OF sterling character and un-
questioned ability, yet we also believe
that each one. aslde from hts great a.
tainmrrts. has some little turn ~ per-
sonal quality which distinguishes him
in the average mind from any of tlis
others.
In Bishop Mccoy that quality Is pre-
eminently mis- broad, sane, democratic
spirit. which radiates from him at all
times He has aptly been called ''The
Great Commoner" OF Aiethodlsm, be
cause, like the Great Commoner' IN
politics, Mr.. Bryan. he Is man of tn,
people. He drly recognizes the great
ones OF earth, but he loves the ram,
and file OF tho great Methodist army
He believes in the average Methodist
preacher. He likes to give the con-
ference men the best he has y he pos
sibly can. He uses the transfer pow
er when compelled TO do no, hut when
ever possible be would rather fill the
appointments from theconference men.
Therefore he Is friend to the institu-
lions OF the conference. He has follow
cd the history OF our schools and col
the great problem Of ministerial SUD
ply and demand. He is approachahle
even 90 the humblest preacher or lay
man. He is kind and conslderate o.
the feelings OF all and believes In q
square deal for all. When with him in
conversation YOU forget that You arr
talking with ne of the dIgnitaries OF
the church and feel that You are in thS
PREF scnce OF brother. Bishop MCCOY
is one OF our greatest bishops. but HI
doesn't know Il. II hasn't gone 10 his
head yet. and we hope It never viii
Msy the good Lord give us more men
OF this typo.
SO we are glad to welcome Bishop
Mccoy back to our conference. anil
we know that he will enjoy his stay IN
Louisa. the associations OF those biz
hearted Rig Sandians, and the fellow
ship OF the brethren When the mp
pointments are made we shall love him
Just the same, for we win believe tina,
he has wrought for the glory Of God
and The good OF the Methodist
Advocate
