TASKING A BISHOP'S FACE.
In the course of a speech delivered the other day at Southampton, the Bishop of Oxford is reported to have remarked that
"There should be Bishops over the Clergy who would weep when they wept, and rejoice when they were glad."
Under existing circumstances that would be a difficult arrangement. What with poor curates weeping on their £70 or £80 annual pittances, and rich pluralists rejoicing at the same time in their several thousands a year, a Bishop, in order to sympathize with both, would have to weep with one side of his face and smile with the other.
