Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methodist Review, 1912, Vol. 94: Bimonthly Became prominent, and high hopes were entertained that in him the splendid succession of bishops from Asbury down would have a bright and shining light. They were not disappointed. The General Conference of 1888 met in New York on the first of May. The committee on Episcopacy reported that the work of the general superintendency required the election of five new. Bishops. Five were elected, among them Daniel Ayres Goodsell. The others elected at that time were Bishops Vincent, fitzgerald, Joyce, and Newman, of whom all but Bishop Vincent have been transferred to the Church Triumphant. It is no disparagement to any of these eminent servants of God, two of whom were our warm personal friends, whom we loved dearly and whose precious memories we affectionately cherish, to say that, while Bishop Goodsell was the last one elected, he was not surpassed by any, and scarcely had an equal on the board. Every man has his own gift. Bishop Goodsell did not excel fitzgerald in legal acumen and gifts of administration; he. Did not excel Isaac W. Joyce in spiritual fervor; he did not excel Newman in the graces of oratory, nor Bishop Vincent in organizing educational facilities for the millions. But take him altogether, in stretch of vision, in ideals of the office to which he was called, his cosmopolitan character, his deep spirituality, his mental acquirements, his marvelous genius for the strength and beauty of the English tongue, and his easy familiarity with the history and traditions of the church of his fathers, he stood among his colleagues that day as he stood among them to the day of his death, equaled by few, excelled by none, a sun-crowned alp among Alpine peaks.
