Bis diocese was the whole Pacific
northwest and his clergy totaled three.
' It was before the day of the railroad
and diocesan visits entailed days and
1 days of travel on horseback over rough
trails or by boat up and down the nav
i Igable streams. The difficulties of
, managing a bishopric! under such eon
dltloas Tare , self-evident and viewed
; from any ..angle, It was a man' Job
. : But by dint of hard work and perse
. ve ranee Bishop Scott a Georgian by
' birth slowly laid the foundations of
. ths Episcopal church In Oregon. He
, died in New Tork city, July 14, 1867.
Oil December 8 of the- following year
(186S) his successor was consecrated
In the person of the Rt. Rev. Benjamin
. "Wlstar Morris, a native of German
; town, Philadelphia.
Ths larger share of Episcopalian his
tory In Oregon is associated with
. Bishop Morris' name for he served as
-. bishop' for 88 years. To him-belongs
' ther credit for the founding and up
building of the three large and thrlv-
Ing Episcopal Institutions of Oregon
, -.the Good Samaritan hospital, the
Btsthop Snott academy (named after the
first bishop), and St. Helens ball,
school for girls.'

It was during Bishop Morris' Cen

At ths present time the state of
Washington has two bishops, the
Bishop of Olympla and the Bishop of
Spokane, and a missionary district was
created in eastern - Oregon 1 at which
ths Rt. Rev. Robert L. Paddock Is at
ths head.
Following Bishop Morris was the
Rt. Rev. Charles Scaddlng, a native of
