the payment of these taxes at this time.
A Hero of Today.
The Atlanta Constitution of recent date
has the following regarding Right Rev.
Edwin G. Weed, Episcopal Bishop of the
diocese of Florida:
How sublime is the devotion and hero
ism of Bishop Weed, of Florida, who
walks among his people in fever stricken
Jacksonville!
•When the lever came, the bishop was in
his old home at Augusta with his family.
He was hardly acclimated in Florida,
having been there only' a short time.
And yet, without hesitation, he left his
family and friends and his place of safety,
and went to minister to his people who
were sore oppressed. And there lie has
been ever since. No nurse is tenderer
than lie —no man more devoted—no citi
zen more assiduous in the tneeting of
every duty. His large wealth enables
him to be a benefactor in more ways than
one, and many a poor refugee now in
safety, blesses him for having opened the
way.
All honor to this heroic bishop, who
honors the great Episcopal church by his
life and example! Such men are rare on
earth, but they throng in heaven.
