A Bishee's Blunder and the Clavar Way

A certain bishop of one of the middle
atotes la described aa a man who pos
sessed great lesrnina;. hot had not the
saving sense of humor, lu 'Remlnla
cenees of Plshopa and Archbishops"
Bishop Potter gives an Inatnme of the
absence of Oils iiisllty.
It happened on one occasion that an
episcopal election bnd come up for re
view lu the house of bishops, and ques
tions as to the bishop elect were nelrig
asked and answered with r nsiderable
freedom. A bishop w ho l.r the bish
op elect lr a very Intlinsti -y was on
bis feet and was being eateehlsed.
when a bWiop called out, "What kind
f wife haa our brother elect?"
"Ilia present wife" begsn the bish
op thus challenged, when the middle
state delegate sprang to his feet.
"One moment."' he cried "Io I un
derstand sny brother aright? Ild be
aay 'hla present wife,' and am I to un
derstand that by that phrase he meana
to imply that the brother elert has bsd
previous wife? Bern use. If so, I can
not vote for hla confirmation. t. Paul
eays, 'A bishop must be the husband of
one wife.' "
For a moment the house. In which
were a number of blahopa who, having
been bereaved of their earthly part
ners, bad aupplied their placea, aat still
In stunnsd alienee, until a prelate,
whose aense of humor was as keen aa
the last spesker's was feeble, rose In
his prree and ssld, "Po I understand
that the bishop regards the language
of tbe apostle which be Las juat quoted
s mandatory)"
"Certainly:" exclaimed the man who
bad objeeted.
"Very well. then. Mr. Chairman."
said the Interrogating bishop blandly,
"If the blahop regards the lsogusge of
fft. Tanl, when he aa.vs that bishop
must be the busbahd of one' wife, aa
