NEWSBOY TO BISHOP.
NOTABLE CANADIAN CLERIC,
EXPERIENCE AS COWBOY. Vancouver, June 15. •From newsboy and cowboy to bishop is the experience of Right Rev. PI. A. Gray, Bishop of Edmonton, Alberta, who was recently made Doctor of Divinity at the annual convocation of Emmanuel College, Toronto, for his great services to the Church in Western Canada. Bishop Gray began his career as a newsboy, and still retains his license, as well as a keen interest in the welfare of the members of his youthful “profession.” Later he became a cowboy,, and is well known in the West as “the Cowboy Bishop.” Canon McKim, sponsoring Bishop Gray at the convocation, said he had given up the care of cattle for the care of sheep. He had had a great experience in corralling cattle and he found that the average human being had as much faculty for doubling back as the average steer.
The canon recalled the public services of the bishop in the pioneering days. In those wide-open days in Edmonton, lie said, when a bad disturbance occurred, the cry used to be: Bishop Gray and the mounted police.” '
