Bishop Vincent is a great bishop, a great preacher and lec- turer, and a man of wonderful versatility of talent; but that which especially distinguishes him from his associates in the episcopal office and among church workers, in all denomina- tions of Protestant Christians, is his preeminence in Sunday school work. He will long be remembered as a tender hearted, sympathe- tic pastor ; as an eloquent preacher of the gospel ; as an en- tertaining and instructive lecturer ; as a graceful and charm- ing writer; as a worthy and dignified bishop of the church; and as a resourceful and inspiring teacher of Biblical truth. But with all these characteristics and achievements, the move- ment instituted and directed by him, exemplified in the numer- ous and constantly increasing Chautauquas throughout the land, must ever be the evidence and crown of his triumph. This is the golden harvest of his planting, that, self -multiply- ing, will continue to feed the multitudes long after the sower shall have passed to his reward.
