First Bishop of Athabaska, 1874-1884, First Bishop of Mackenzie River, 1884-1891, First Bishop of Selkirk (Yukon) 1891-1906 This hiding of self was typical of the man. His life was bid with Christ in God, and he hid the activities of it in an unselfish shrinking from the world's gaze.

We longed to see and show our hero. But it was of no avail. His unvarying answer was, You can do without me at your meetings. My work is with my Indians.
