How does q man feel when
he Is unexpectedly elected .
bishops?
Perhaps the reaction Of DR..
Harry Lee Doll. rector Of st.
Pauls Episcopal Church, Balti-
more, to his election Wednesday
as Suffragan Bishop Of Mary
land may provide q clue.
Or. Doll has the build Of q
fullback and the strong face Of
q successful industrialist. When
his election was announced by
the Right Rev. Noble Powell,
bishop Of Maryland, the solidly
built clergyman was obviously
deeply shaken. Bishop Powell
asked him to come forward, and
the newly elected prelate moved
with almost faltering steps.
His brief speech of thanks
was slowly delivered, as he
struggled to keep his emotions
in check. Later, in a private
room on the sanctuary, tears
stood in DR.. Dolls eyes as he
spoke to reporters and friends.
It was a great moment in the
life Of the former Virginia Theo-
logical Seminary student. And
there appeared true humility in
his acknowledgment Of the honor.
Has a Hearty Meal.
Another question is, How
does a man eat when he knows
the result Of an election will be
announced Immediately after
his meal?"
/ happened to sit down to
lunch in the spacious basement
of the Pro- Cathedral Church of
the Incarnation, where the elec-
tion took place, opposite DR..
Doll. The answer to the question
may be summed up in one word.
hearty. The plate was clean of
food when the meal was over.
During the luncheon ministers
and laymen came up to DR., Doll
in a continuous stream. For
each visitor the clergyman had
a broad greeting, a quick smile
and an instant response. Watch
ing him. no one would guess he
was one of three men whose
election to the church's inn
portant rank Of prelate was in
the balance.
How Election Works.
The sheer mechanical factors
involved in the election of an
Episcopal bishop are interesting.
There are no formal nomina-
tions. and neither the candidates
nor their supporters talk to the
assembly. There is a nomination
ballot, and the tellers then
write the names of those sub
mitted on a blackboard.
Then, after a brief prayer,

Humof In Presbytery.
Despite the strong convictions
held by commissioners to the
Potomac Presbytery of the
Presbyterian Church, U. S.,
meeting this Tuesday at Mount
Vernon Presbyterian Church,
Alexandria. Va, there was time
for some light byplay.
During the session, nomina-
tions for different committees
were being made. Finally the
slate was finished. and the Rev.
David C. Crawford. ir., of Lees
burg, Va, said, IF there are
any objections to the nomlna-
tions set forth, please speak
now or forever hold your peace. !"
A soto voce voice from the
rear spoke UP. Wrong cere-
mony."
To which Mr.. Crawford an
swered, There are also some
appropriate words in the fu-
neral service"
Voice. May he rest in peace. :
Elder Has Some Fun.
F. w. Robinson. an elder Of
Herndon CVa.) Presbyterian
Church. provided the meeting
with a few minutes Of humor
when he insisted on abstaining
from voting on the question of
union.
Mr.. Robinson had his views
on the subject. but he simply
did not want to vote. So the
moderator and the stated clerk
hauled out the rule book and
read the provision stating, ".An
elder or a minister commissioner
must vote" He cannot pass his
vote.
Still Mr.. Robinson was re-
luctant. The members pleaded,
argued and cajoled him, and
with an impish smile Mr.. Rob-
inson finally allow a low yes"
to issue from his lips. There
was an audible sigh Of relief
when he did, and the commits
sioners then resumed their dis
cussions.
