Has an Impressive Career.
His career as a religious and public
leader in England has been surpassed
by none in this generation. Graduat-
ing from Oxford with high distinction
and at once taking holy orders in the
Church of England. he was closely as
ISOLATED with the work Of the unlver-
sity and of the church at the seat OF
England's most ancient university
and his work at Pusey House nttlns
young men of exceptional promise ior
the ministry attracted wide atteptiol,
and made him a potent force aLnons :,

Through his many writings on DID

together with his unusual preachtns
as Canon of Westminster Apoey, Wiz E; e
he drew vast crowds, and through ms
tions, he has been a leaven MAKING
for the extension of progressivdd

Church of the Epiphany and st; st;

as in many other of our great cen

Does a Great Service.
Becoming Bishop of worcester, one
of the most ancient dioceses, he ad-
dressed himself chiefly to industrial
and civic problems in great
territory, including great industrial
centers, but also great tracts given
over to agriculture. Coventry and
Birmingham were included within Its
limits and also the extensive agricul--
tural interests of the old county OF
Warwickshire. The populous and pro-
gressive city of Birmingham proved
more than sufficient field for one one
bishop, and Bishop Gore, seeing the
strategic necessity, secured the en-
dowments and the necessary act OF
parliament, and had it erected into
a separate see, of which he became
the first bishop. In this powerful in
dustrial community in the heart OF
England he took leading place and
addressed himself to the solving of
many civic problems.
A few years back when his friend
and former associate. DR.. Paget, Bish-
op of Oxford. died, it was felt that
Bishop Cores intellectual, literary.
theological and academic gifts would
enable him to serve the church and
the nation to the highest advantage
at England's greatest university CEN
ter, therefore, much to the sorrow of
Birmingham, he was translated to
Oxford, see which includes several
industrial centers like Reading and
broad acres of farms, as we'll as the
great company of dons and students.
among whom Bishop Gore has been
popular and a real leader of thirty
years or more.
