men and others in whose hands the
Church of today is placed. He
brought tears to many eyes. He is
one of the best trained, best edu
Gated men in the Episcopal Church
and while he is superannuated, he
will still remain the active senior
bishop, thereby giving the Church
the benefit of his long experience.
In appreciation of his long serv-
ice, the Church voted him purse
of one thousand dollars. 1t is,
perhaps, the first time in the history
of the Church, that bishop has
been superannuated on his own re-
quest. At the time of Bishop Lees
