Bishop Daniel A. fioodsell. He will Preside over the Conference
Session Next Week.
THE following sketch of Bishop Goodsell, who is to preside
over the 37th annual session of the Wilmington Conference, which will convene in Grace Church, Wilmington, next Wednesday, is taken, in part, from the Christian Advocate dated May 31st, 1888:
DANIEL AYRES GOODSELL is the son of the late Rev. Buel Goodsell, one of the master-builders of Methodism in the pastorate and presiding eldership. To use the quaint figure of Pluneas Rice, "his trowel spread mortar on almost every rising wall of our Zion" from Lake Champlain to the eastern shore of Long Island. He is the youngest of the hve, the <late of his birth being Nov. 5, 1840, and its place Newburg on.the Hudson. His collegiate education was obtained at the New York University, and he entered the ministrv through the New York East Confer. ence in 1859. But nin<:tec n years of age, he was nearly six feet in height and manly in bearing. In his first two station<, after the manner of the tinlt', he remained but one year, but e\'er afl< rwar~l the full term, and on the unanimous in\'ita tion of the Oflici.tl 13oard taken in his absence. Jn 1861-62 he was at Riverhead; in 186.~-65, at Glencun·; 1866-68, Green point Tabe1 nacle, Brooklyn; 1869 ii, South N<ll\l'•1lk, Conn.; J Si i 74. i\Ieri<ien, Conn.: ll~i5·ii· \V.1shington Str<'<'l, Brook Jyn ; 1 s;.~-So, :'.\'ew \' urk :\venue. Brooklyn.
In 1SS1-S1 he \\as in :\'cw lla1tn, Conn., where, under his ministry, the beautifol Trinity Church \1as erecteu. Thence he went to the First Church. No ministry in our church in that city ev<>r c0mman<leu more respect within or without our pale than the six years of Dr. Goodsell in these two churches.
Unexpecte<lly to himself, he was elected editor ol Zion's ]Jerald. to
proportioned that none would fancy him more than six feet in height and weighing nearly 250 pounds. As a preacher, he is clear, strong and forvent, expressing his ideas in the best English, and his feelings with chastened warmth. Naturally conservative in action, he is more 1
progressive in views than might be supposed.
Bishop Goodsell is not a stranger to the members of \Vilmmgton Conference, he having presided at its session held in Grace Church in 1901.

BISHOP GOODSELL A MODEL DR. R. J. COOKE.
[From jfethodist Rci•icw, January-February.]
As a Biah<>p. Daniel Ayrea Goodaell met the Joigheat expectati<>r a of the church.
The office <>f a biebop in the Methodist Epls· copal Cburcb is unique. As Methodism itself, historically, is a revival in modern times of the spiritual lite, practice, and polity of the early eh.arch prior to the time of Cyprian, and appears, therefore, as something wholly different from the Greek, Roman, or Anglican Church, which, aa we see them, are the reaultanta of a long process of development away from the church of the apostolic and sub apoatolic pericde, so the episcopal polity of Methodism is also different both in ita no.lure and duties and in its manifold requirements. A Greek, Roman, or AngliC'an bishop might be an ideal bishop for hie par~icular communion, but an unendurable miafi t in Methodism. A bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Cburcb must be ae to administration and spiritual oversight aH that bishops in those churches are required to be, but in keeping with the genius of bis church be most be vastly more. He is not a lord over God's heritage, nor is he a mere oflicial, exercising perfunctory duties, visiting Conferences and automatically registering the judgment of his coadjutors or the etrooger will of infiuen· tial laymen. These are apaciooa times in which we live, times in which the church of God most either lead in the forefront of the world's best thought in all quest ions which affect the religious, aocial, iotellectua), and even political welfare of peoples and nations, or else, acknowledging her incompetency to inspire re generating ideals or to direct the thought of the age. abjectly surrender her place to dis· cordant secular forces which can oever redeem
ZION'S HERALD
glou• life - the church t<> which nothing humsu I• alien, and which by ber devotion to tbe eter· nal interests of all men will deliver the mae11e1 from the power of the demagogue on the atreet comer or the rented hall, from the greed of the gluttoo, the thirst for war, the mutually destructive feuda between labor and capital, and the criminal existence of the saloon - the church that can do this, and will set before the people the true purposes of the Christian state, that church here in America, and that church only, in the long run, will be the church of the people, the savior of society. Thie is a great program, but it seems great only because the world, in all its activities as the subject of redemption, baa become a lost note in Protestant provincialism. No one church now, perhaps, has the courage to undertake and accomplish this vast and complex purpose, bat it is the duty of every church worthy of the name to contribute to its accomplishment. Methodism is tbe church of the people. From tbe begin· ning it bas been her miesion not only to con· vert the souls of men, but also to aim, through tbe preaching of the Gospel, to lead In the so· cial betterment, in the intellectual and moral progress of the millions who are seeking tl.te realization of their dreams.
To be a biehop, therefore, of such a church means more than mere superintendency. Cer· tainly a bishop must be a man of piety - genuine piety. But he most also be a man of large horizons ; quick ~o di1cern the signs ot tbe times ; able in pulpit and platform to edity, instruct, and inspire; a thinker, a statesman ; a prophet of God ; a leader of tbe people. Should he fail in large meaaure to fulfill these expectations, he cannot compeoaate for hia insolvency of intellect by gracious attendance at pink teas and social functions; by aobstltutiog official authority for intellectual power; or bJ dispensing favors to fawnina sycophants for that commanding inflaence which can come only from exalted character and statesmanlike ability. Bishop G<>odsell measured up totbe bigbest requirements. The office did not make the man : the man of God dignified the office. Sometimes, in t.be church as well as in the eta te, It doea happen that a man who only yesterday was but one among many of ordinary calibre is tomorrow, because of an election to something, bailed by others of equal bore as the prince of orators and the fountain of wisdom. But the election of Bishop Goodsell was no apotheosis of mediocrity. Be did not owe his commanding influence to the glamour of office. " He compeJled the stare to look our way aod honor us." He brought to the episcopacy a spiritual nature nurtured from boyhood under all the holy influences of a Methodism which sought a'Jove all other gifts the permanent conscious· oess of the Spirit and power of God, which is personal holiness. He brought to that sacred office twenty· eiRht years of richest fXper1ence in the pastorate, a trained mind of the largest calibre, powers of speech and inborn gracious. nese of manner, exact knowledge and varied information, an open mind, an abiding faith in the eternal truths of the GospC'I, intelligent loyalty to the Eloctrines and usages of Methoditim, a tolerance for all weaknesses exceot hie owo, and a sympathetic heart especially for hie brethren io the mio1etry. Hence, as a bishop be took rank at once aa one of the really gretit bishops of the charcb, and we have no doubt that the historian of the future will readily confirm this distinction which was uni· versally awarded him by bis contemporaries. Jn the Annual Conferences where be presided the sessions were al ways of great interest. A great personality always creates interest. In him ministers and li:.ity saw the rea.lity ot rC>li· gion, the solidity of our in~titationa. the sacred-
humanity nor eustaio Christian civiltzation, and nesa, responsibility, and Jignity of the minisamong which ebe herself will be toeaed like a terial office, while- the seriouanet1e of the work foucdering ship in a storm swept sea. The in band was often relif"ved by the bobbling church tbat cno rise to this pos1hon of influ- humor, the fiarhin.ll wit, the radiating pleasence ovPr comn: erce and industry, over ph1los· antries of this master of aaaemb11i:s H1a coJophJ end literature, and nrt and s.:-ier.cc in leagues in the b0ard of bisl'npR hear Pt'n<>ral thcolou1c- thou go ht and deeneat n 1rture of rPh- teet1rnonv to the .areatnPra of h1R l"harncter nnd

bis P<>wer as a blabop. In auch a body ot· superior men, many of them at home ln all• zones ot life, his habitual spiritoality, hie genial spirit, his valuable experience and judicial ability found the bighe•t appreciation. In general committees, miaaiona, home and foreign, and in various General Conference commissions of which be was either chairman or member, and in other gatherings of official boards, bh1 conciae statement, clear jndgmeot,. breadth of view, and unbiased interest added strength and established confidence: for, adopt· ina with little change what Macaulay once said of Hume ae an historian, "while be managed bis cause with the dexterity of an advocate, be always showed the impartiality of a judge."' He was never the autocrat. He was never the sole arbiter bursting wit.h authority but lacking in sense, nor was he ever the opinionated debater wbo imaginea that, It be bad lived iu tbe days of Solomon, Solomon hima•Jf would have died of envy. Wherever be was, and however grave the deliberation before the body, bis playful humor winked genially at opportune momente and amootbed the rofled currents of debate. Be had great personal dignity, partly because of hie appearance, but much more because ot inner dignity of soul. And yet he was ao great tbat be could afford to be little. At the Con· ferences people liked to entertain him, and the children in the homes were delighted at his coming ; fc r be played with them and they with him till the embarrassed but 1ecretly pleased mother, wondering at episcopal simplicity and the sweet confidence of childhood .. would call the little ones away from some urgent need never beard of before.

SUGGESTION SUPERVISION

•.• 1. __
Let me suggest this plan: More bishops, 1nen 1vith the largest grasp oj conditions in the kingdom; and fewer, but stronger, district superintendents. While the church would oppose heavier expense in supervision, Jet no doubt the present standard of expense could be maintained, if increased results were shown. The amount saved on salaries of district super~ intendants could be uaed to strengthen our Episcopal Board.
The Methodist Episcopal Church is an organ· ism. Growth moat come normally from its fundamental system. We never can successfully engraft e feature simply because it is good in another system. 11 lodependency,1111 Con~
gregational polity," 11 Diocesan supervision/' or many other good p1ans in their systems, would be to us, perpetually, a foreign element working against the larger good. Legislation should regulate growth, relate new growth, or accelerate normal and abiding growth. We may well pray for deliveran:e from legislation which is "slammed" into our eysten1 The letter of the law on the "amusement question 11 stands as our ghostly example.
In t/zts matter, the tendency for a generation has been t lward a redaction rather than an iucrease of supervision. Io proportion to our membership, we had more bishops in l.S 7 2 than we have today. In ll"""~ we had the moat episcopal supervision, measured by the poe.sible term of service, that the church has ever bad. For at that time there were sixteen effective general superintendents and two missionary superintendents. That is1 one bishop for 1~.;;.;.000 members. Not only that. but these men were so young, or so virile, that only two were retired n.t the en .i of eight yeara, and not one died for eleven years. In contrast to this condition the General Conference of J:•LIS adjourned with nineteen effective general superintendents and six missionary superintendents, or only one effective biebop for 1c,1;,l10u members at home. And, furthermore, the need for foreign supt.>rvis;on had increased so rapidly that four of this nineteen were sent immediately bey•>nd our !lag. That ie, our last five lieneral Conferences
·~M ......... ..,.,. u•o .. • ..... oul-'011u .. uuut1u~11 "'uu1u Kl\'" UD
the most effectual supervision tor the present. Some zealously advocate a districted bishopric
for a four years' term. Present conditions make this imp3aeible, even if it were advisable ; for it would mean, with our 3,000.000 communicants and fifteen bishops at home, 200,000 com mun icants for each bishop. In the North Atlantic States, where distances are limited, Bishop Hamilton would find hi• field tbie elde tbe Badeoo. But what of tbe district facing the Pacific? It would cover nineteen· fortieths of our land, coming to the one hundredth meridian, wbicb is almost io eight of the geographical centre of the country.
I have no quarrel with any plan which truly helps to greater results. But it seems oa if we need, and might have, a full-sized WJrkiog plan for today. Our bishops have from the begin• ning been given almost unlimited scope; and, being mlltUre men when elected. they have, with marvelously few exceptions, ab.own themselves to be workmen fitted for their tasks. Therefore let the church elect more of her strongest men for bishops ; and appoint atrong )enders to be district superintendents, making them leaders indeed by assigning them to a great work and by following their leadership in every aggressive campaign for the advance of our Redeemer's kingdom.
