V, Ska yhr Fiction writers love to tell of a bishop as being big and bluff and hearty. We now have the privilege of presenting one. Ernest Vincent Shayler, right reverend bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Ne braska, answers the description Only, please do not make a mistake about the bluff part of it. Bishop Shayler is not a bluffer. In 1897 he was graduated from he divinity school of Kenyon college. Gambler, O. lie was rector of a church at San dusky, O., until 1900, when he was called to Oak Park, near Chicago, llec^ in nine years, he increased the membership from 400 to 1,100, and built a church costing $125,000. In 1909 he went to Seattle, to have charge of the largest Episcopal con gregation on the Pacific coast. His labors there included the erection of several parish chapels, and the start of a huge cathedral. In May, 1919, he was elected bishop of Nebraska. Outside his purely ministerial du ties. Bishop Shayler found hlmsell fairly well engaged with other mat ters. While at Seattle, during the war, he was president of the com mission having oversight of the chap lains at Camp Lewis, the great train ing camp of the Pugent sound region. He helped put over the Liberty loan land Itcd Cross drives. In Nebraska he has strengthened all the Episcopal churches In Omaha established a university church at Lincoln, reopened a number ol churches in the state that had been closed, and has headed the undertak ing of establishing Brownell Hall, the girls’ school, on a sound footing. He is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, belongs to the Omaha, Athletic, University and Kiwanis clubs, is president of the Clarkson Memorial hospital, and of the board of trustees of Brownell Hall; is a member of the Americanization hoard and one of the Big Sisters’ advisory board.
