DEATH CLAIMS
CHURCH Head
Quarter Century Of
Activity Ended By
Heart Attack

CHICAGO. Jan. 30.-tP-The
most Rev. Charles Palmerston An
derson, presiding Bishop Of the
Protestant Episcopal church Of the
United States Of America died to-
day.
Death came at 8:42 q. m, today,
the result of a heart attack nine
DAYS ago from which the Bishop
never rallied. He was "a years
old.

a quarter Of a century, he had been
raised TO the primary Of his church
only two months ago. His health
had been apparently good. despite a
weak heart, until the fatal attack
Jan. 81. a few days after Bishop
Anderson had returned from an
eastern trip.
Success Evident
Evidence Of Bishop Anderson's
success stands in more than half a
hundred new churches and as many
new rectories and parish houses: an
increase from 80 to nearly l40 in
the number Of priests economically
connected with the diocese and more
than double the number Of commun-
icants. Total contributions to all
church purposes from his diocese
increased more than fourfold.
Being keenly interested in Chris
tian unity, Bishop Anderson also
played an important part in the
work OF the National church. He was
president OF the commission on the
World Conference on Faith and Or
der and in 1919 made an extended
tour of Europe and the Near East
in the interest Of the conference.
He conferred with officials Of other
Christian bodies regarding the plan
and on his return made an exhaus-
tive and encouraging report Of the
sympathetic interest shown almost
universally.
Known As Builder
Bishop Anderson was known as a
builder and organizer and a man OF
excellent business sagacity, but OF
a modest and retiring disposition.
always disdaining self-advertisement
The estaS iishment and expansion Of
church institutions were further evi-
denceS OF his constructive ability.
Bishop Anderson married Janet
Glass OF Belleville. Ont, Sept. I.
1889, A son and three daughters were
born TO them. The son was killed
while serving with the American
forces overseas in the World War.
